How to date a RMK

[TravelinThom]

Let me start by saying I am new to Randall Made Knives, please excuse my ignorance. I have the opportunity to purchase 3 RMK but since I don't know much about them, I'm reaching out looking for some info/guidance. One is a Model 2 Little Game (my research tells me this may be a model 21, but the seller says it's a model 2), One is a Model 3 Hunter 6" blade, and the third is a Model 5 Camp and trail 6" blade. All have leather sheaths with the sharpening stone. What I'm looking for is info on how to put a manufacture date on them. I'm waiting for my Gold membership to process so I can post some pics, but I'm hoping there are things I can look for to narrow down the age. Thanks to all.

Dinner and a movie works for me.

But maybe that's not what you meant.

Doubt RMKs ‘Little Game’ is ever mistaken for their #2 given how different they are and #21 has never been available with more than one blade length.
#2’s have been available with at least 5 blade lengths in two thickness’s, moot point anyway as a ‘Dagger’ looks like a Dagger to even a non-enthusiast.

I would recommend getting Sheldon’s recent update of his ‘RMK’s a Timeline/reference Guide, 4th Edition’.

If dating each knife is of major interest you can ask Capt Chris about getting a Bonafied ’COA’ from him…

Good Luck !
