New Randall knives to fondle...

[Melvin-Purvis]

A Model #12-9 14G 25 handle, SS w/NS hilt and pommel & lanyard hole...the third of five delivered in a similarly configured set (#25-5, #25-6, #26, #27, and this one)...

Large 5" Gambler with Ivorite handle, all NS hardware, metal spacers, and lanyard hole - the first of three in a set with the same hardware; the others will have Desert Ironwood and Sambar stag handles. I hope the stag is the real popcorn bumpy type (please Santa )...

And, an unused original owner Separate S Model #18-7.5 - the owner ordered the knife from RMK in '70 or '71, and it arrived in late '71 or early '72. He wanted a Crutch Tip but got this one with an early threaded end cap instead, and not liking it, ended up not using it... (suhweet!)

Nice set!

Reminds me that I need to open my model 8 that is still sealed in the box. After 5+ yrs of waiting I just haven't been up to opening it since it came.

@Ohen - quick, go hide it - then, when you find it again, it'll be like finding a whole new (new) Randall knife

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Hmmm, I must have more than one of these laying around - while looking for pics of the #25-6 and #26 that recently arrived, I found this one taken in earlier in the year (posted in another thread, apparently can't post it twice)...it doesn't have a rounded end cap tho'. The worse part is, I negotiated a trade today for another in O1 with an aluminum end cap...Dunno where the photo of the #25-6 is, but here is the #26-25...

That's quite a haul. You done good.:thumbup:

Nice stag on the 26. You always did get the good ones. And I like the wood on the 2-4 also.

I saw that too. I love the red white blue spacer set fine I guess, but every time I see a matching metal spacer and black spacer set it really sets the knife's looks apart in a positive way.

My next one is going to be black and brass.

Nice stag and very nice 18. Is the 18 for the safe or the site?

Open inquire's are kind of frowned upon (?), because it would imply that the seller posted a sales thread somewhere other than the "for sale" forum, which is a no no at Bladeforums.

If you want to see the knives that are up for sale at Bladeforums you need to visit these forums.
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=672 (the knife exchange)
Or the Maker makers for sale section.
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=767

Since this is your first post, I would recommend you look at this homepage, it really gives you a much better idea how big Bladeforums is. Best homepage available

Hope it helps.

I think he meant Sheldon's site, Ron. And while you're absolutely correct about the "rules," things are a little more loose here in the backwaters of BFC. Unless you're a total dick, like that OICU812 butthole, of course.

But yeah, if you're interested in buying that knife from Shel, Tom, you'll have a lot better luck going to his website and contacting him from there. It's right in his sig line.

I noticed, just trying to help out if he needed it.

.....Unless you're a total dick, like that OICU812 butthole

Definitely didn't miss that.

Please accept my appology and yes I was referring to his site.

Tom, welcome to the Randall forum and Bladeforums.com (BFC)... :thumbup:

All the knives shown above are keepers for now - they represent the best options and condition I've seen yet for the models and age...
