A Forum member asked recently about blackened Randall blades and if they were for real.
At the Spokane Gun Show, last weekend, I purchased from a fellow RKS member, A Model 14 and Model 18 with parkerized blades. With these two knives, I received a letter, written by Gary Randall in 1985, stating these two knives were being delivered as the first two production parkerized blades that Randall ever completed.
When I called Gary Randll, he confirmed this letter and said he thought these were probably the only two knives, they ever parkerized.
Best regards,
