Very nice collection. I am compelled to ask, which is your favorite?

Which is my favorite....well, I guess I would have to say the Randall mini drop point hunter since it will surly appreciate well beyond what I paid for it. I am already hearing about them going for around $750.

What, no Gene Ingram?

Good collection and thanks for the picture.

That Randall looks nice, indeed.

Those are sweeet! Thanks for sharing your collection with us.

VERY Nice. I like the Randall best also. The Bark River is nice too.

I also like Minis, Mine is a GenO Denning Miniature GM model. 2 1/2" blade, 6" overall. It is the first one GenO made, marked Prototype.

Very nice collection. I like the smaller fixed blades too. What is the third knife from the top, with the green canvas scales?

I think you are refering to the Bark River Knife and Tools HUNTSMAN. It is very stout for such a small blade and very very sharp!

sceva,
Now that is a very very nice looking mini! Can I have it for my collection?

That's a fine looking collection. The Randall stands out, in my opinion.

sceva · Oct 12, 2006

Sorry Muzzleup, but that one is not going anywhere.

If you want one, I believe that GenO Denning is going to make it one of his regular offerings.

How long is the blade on your Randall? That looks like a fine knife as well as a good investment. The nice thing about Randall's is that you should always be able to recoup your $$.
Of course, if your like me you seldom sell them.

sceva,
The blade on my Randall #5 mini is 3 5/8" from the guard to the tip. Yeah, the Randalls do seem to keep their value and I have 4 of them now, a mod.25-5, a mod 5-4, and a mod. 1-6 leather handle.
Lately though I have been BLOWING ALL of my spendable money on Bob Doziers knives. #6 should come in next week and #7 sometime in about January 2007. I still have 2 Busse knives that are VERY qucik and easy to sell if I need funds but I sure am hung up on Bob Dozier knives....they just seem to reek perfection.

Sorry, I havn't checked in on blade forums for a while.

GenO Denning does business as caveman Engineering. Here is a link. He does beautiful work at VERY reasonable prices. He doesn't catalog the Mini GM yet but I'm sure he would be happy to make you one.
