Famous Randall knife owners

My current favorite in the lineup is the 3-7" that I just received from CPT Stanaback. It has a ss blade with NS hilt and finger notches, leather handle with a crow's head duralumin buttcap and metal and black spacers. She's a real beauty! I'm quite famous around here...in my own mind!;)

My fav. right now is a non-catalog Fireman's Special....... with that said what knife brand had so many larger than life use Randall eg. like Errol Flynn makes sense a world traveler like Flynn would choose and use a Randall Knife !
 
Thanks for the input. I hope it doesn’t hurt your feelings if I don’t run out and order a “Ray1911” or “Sluggy” tribute knife. Lol.
 
LOL, no worries! Oh! U2 pilot Gary Powers carried one. I can't remember what model it was, though. Was it an 8?
 
KnifeRep covered Gary’s knife in post #10 page 1 of this thread
 
How about Ross Allen, the famous crocodile wrestler? He opened the Allen Reptile Institute, which I think was more of an amusement park, back in the 50's I think. I'm pretty sure he carried a Model 3-7".
ETA: Seems there is debate as to whether he carried a model 3 or a model 5.

I have Porter Wagoner's knife gifted to him by Mel Tillis.

I’d like to know the specifics of the knife if possible. Maybe I’ll order a “Mel Tillis” next.

Always thought it was interesting how he could sing without stuttering but couldn’t hardly put two words together.

I had a buddy while in the Army that had a slight stutter. He didn't really stutter unless he was nervous or was asked about some shenannigans we were up to by our SGT. Sometimes I thought he faked it.:D
