for sale?

[arden.ferris]

is it appropriate to sell Randalls here? or trade. . . I have a real nice 4-7"

No, the exchange is the Bladeforums forum for sales. Though I personally wouldn't know where to file them under, production or custom, so i have seen a few duplicate posts of the same sale in both I am not sure if that is considered acceptable or not.

WOW! You are going to LOVE it. I got my ivory 8-inch, and it's great.

that is SWEEEET, who did the engraving? I am getting it with a very similar set up but the butt cap

 

[cut_n_run]

Thank you.
Engraving by Skaggs--here's a close-up.

nice, is he still working?

 

[cut_n_run]

Yes, as far as I know. You could ask him ... RONALD SKAGGS e-mail engraver2@msn.com

 

[arden.ferris]

he is the engraver of choice for Randalls right?

 

[cut_n_run]

Ron has engraved a great number of Randall knives. I believe he has quite a backlog, but I don't know whether Gary 'officially' endorses him.
Maybe someone else on the forum can comment?

I have been hesitant to "change" any of my randalls in any way

 

[cut_n_run]

Though I liked the knife before the engraving (top pic), I like it much more afterwards (bottom pic). As far as its worth, I'll probably never get back all the money that was put into it--the ivory, the pure silver hilt and collar, the engraving--but I didn't do that to make money, just to have a unique knife.

Not me I am not shy about it at all. Obviously I would respect a knife with a history, an aged Randall would get the same respect.

But my users get no special regard. I chopped the upper guard off one of my #14's because i thought i would be easier to use. and i love the knife more for it.
