Does This Randall Look Real?

Based on this pic?

Thanks for your opinions.

Probably real. Looks like an extra deep stamped name marking, though. Maybe a new stamp?

 

[Lone_Wolfe]

That was what made me wonder. I've never seen one stamped that deep.

I looks like they had been stamping model 14's all day and slipped that skinny one in the middle of the operation.

You should either contact Randall Made directly, or you can PM a member here, Melvin-Purvis to ask him. Melvin-Purvis is an expert on identifying Randalls.

That is the new SS blade stamp, in use for close to two years now - have you got pics of the whole knife/package?

Expert? Nah, I'd settle for authority*...

*As my friend BRL once told me, paraphrased: 'An expert needs to know what he or she is talking about; an authority doesn't have that problem - an authority makes it true by saying it, and truer by publishing it...'

 

[Lone_Wolfe]

Thanks for the input, gentleman. Melvin-Purvis, No I don't have better pics. It was on ebay and I didn't end up winning it, unfortunately. All of the input was appreciated.

Not an expert, actually I have never handeld a Randal knife before, but maybe the soldering seems a bit amateur?

 

[Lone_Wolfe]

Hard to tell, stiga, at least to me. I thought that might have been from the poor light. The other Randalls I have are anything but amateur. Certainly a good point.
