Randall appraisals or book of value?

[ThatSouthernBoy]

Is there anyone who offers Randall knife appraisals? I recently came into a collection of Model 11s that I don’t know a ton about. I’d like to learn the history of each piece, as much as I could find out. I don’t know if Randall offers that service? I emailed them to ask.

Is there a Randall book that will value and date the knives?

Thanks for any help on the subject.

I don't know if values are included, but Sheldon Wickersham publishes a timeline for Randall knives.

Thanks for the comment.

I think some of these are from the fifties, and the rest are more modern.

Thanks to the admin for moving my post here. I was looking around and didn’t find the Randall section until now! New here.

Sadly Sheldon doesn’t come around here much anymore.

But T tunefink is a reliable source. You may want to contact him.

I was just gifted these knives. How do I clean them up?

Gently with mineral oil and a soft rag. You can alternatively send them to Randall for refurbishing as well. Here's a thread that's worth a read;

It started about 1970. Purchased to accompany my father in his duties during the Vietnam war. He volunteered for the Army and qualified for Special Forces (Green Beret).
After the war, and right before I was born, the family moved from Miami Florida to Colorado. Being a bow hunter and avid outdoorsman, this knife accompanied him on all of our outdoor hunting and camping adventures.

At age 45, with all his children out of the house, he decided to move back to Miami and live with his parents, to help out in their old age. He decided to make this trip via kayak. He took various waterways...

It shows a refurb on an old knife that Randall Made did for the OP.
