Photos are in random order.

The 2-8" Fighting Stiletto has what appears to be an amazing flamed or translucent curly maple handle, it is absolutely stunning, acquired as
unused, 7 spacers, brass hilt. 1960's
The 1-6 Fighter has what I believe is Indian Rosewood, (sold as possible walnut to me), the RANDALL MADE stamp is "etched".
Perfect in hand balance, acquired as unused, 7 spacers, brass hilt.1960's
The 19 Bushmaster 1970's ? is a beast, & I love it, I'm still hoping for an old "uglier" original shape Model 19. Leather & brass, standard, sheath has brown thread, tight stitching not white thread and not widely spaced.
The 15 Airman Micarta, finger grooves, brass hilt recently arrived , & the beautiful Buxton Fighter was bought here on BF, it replaced another one I mistakenly sold. ;)

Looking for a 14 w/saw-teeth to replace the 14 sawtooth border patrol I sold here on BF, eventually., & older extended tang military models or tenite handles, plus the brown Micarta era knives.

I always had bought my Randall Made Knives new, recently I discovered the joy of buying several old Randall knives.
I like the old ones & I have a few NEW still on order coming soon= A Sergeant model to replace the one I sold here on BF & a new 19 standard build to compare to this old 19 I just received today.
The 1, 2, and 19 come from a "display" collection in a old now long "closed" hardware store in the South, and all 3 appear to be unused as described in the listing.
I'm stunned by the "new to me" old Randall knives, outright blown away... a feeling that is hard to describe these days. ;)

So, these are heirlooms & worth every penny, a little money very well spent.

Model 19 photos and 3 older blades reunited,
from a collection of 9 display knives where customers could view, maybe handle? plus order models of
RANDALL MADE KNIVES, the old fashioned way..

Thank you, I love the extended tang. and that grind!
Closest fighter these days with old style skull crusher extended tang, resembles the original Tenite handled 14, 15's etc.


Very nice! The Buxton fighter is my favorite Randall blade shape.
 
I have mixed emotions about the extended tang. I appreciate its history, but i think the Buxton fighter would be better without it.
