Randall - remove name etch

I always viewed an etched name as part of the history of the blade. I am not personally put off by it but I generally use my knives.

 

Daren RMK will remove the etch. You need to contact them and then send them the knife. Names never bothered me, but to each their own.

 

Personally, I wouldn't purchase a knife with another person's name/initials - or anything else that people have - etched on it. If it was small & unobtrusive, I might consider it... at a significant price reduction. (It may bear mentioning that I've also passed on knives that appeal to me because I don't like the maker's mark. To me, that stuff matters. Heck, I've been given knives with MY name on them, and wouldn't use them)

 

The first Randall I ever saw and handled. Had two names engraved. The original owner and his dates of service in Vietnam. He gave it to my friend to take to the Gulf war. With the instructions to use it without worrying about damaging or loosing it. But if it came back home my friend had to give it back.

The original owner sent it to Randall to have my friends name and dates of service engraved under his. Then presented it back to my friend.

It’s priceless and the names didn’t hurt the value one bit.
