Is this a Randall Knife?

[Matt459usaf]

Fella is offering to trade this knife for a recurve bow I have. Thing is the knife doesn’t have a makers mark. Is this a true Randall?

I'm thinking definitely maybe

Kind of a vague response.

Being as there's no picture for me to look at... lol

My suggestion is to choose the one on the left. Anything else is a gamble.

Before this thread gets too deep, I'm gonna' hedge on a hard "No".

I've never seen a Randall (and obviously not this supposed one - yet) without their iconic forged stamp.

I have seen a lot of unmarked "Randalls" made in Pakistan on ebay though....

All Randall’s have a makers mark.

This is one of the friendliest forums I know. Don't mind a little ribbing when your predicament is a very common one for new members - pics don't show up as you initially hope for.

Stick (heh!) around, and prepare to spend more than you ever thought possible on new knives. Or just run for it now. Fair warning.

This.

There are quite a few Makers who produce "Randall-inspired" knives.

"Ricardo Perpina" and "Richard Henn" are two that immediately come to mind. Some of their stuff can be CRAZY close in aesthetics.


In the Knife World, "You pays your money and you takes your chances."

If you want a true "Randall", stick with either the Randall Made Knives site or one of their trusted Dealers. Just my $0.02.


Happy hunting!

If it doesn't say "Randall Made": it wasn't...

Sorry but, if there's no photo, it doesn't exist &/or it didn't happen.

Of course, there's always the risk of altered & AI generated photos but that's not an issue unless/until there's a photo to examine.
