New 10-3 straight from the factory.

An Older 10-3 in Brown Micarta, perfect carry in any situation

Older Model 17 in very nice shape

Older Model 14 Spearpoint, ready for anything

Obligatory Model 18 in Carbon Steel, a classic

Old Model 10-7, Kitchen and Chores come natural

Model 10-5 for the jobs its' little brothers can't handle, and Big Brother may be a little too large, the 10-5"'s just right!

New Model 28 Woodsman in Black Micarta and NS, a welcome companion for any adventure

And for good measure, a new 18-7 that looks like a piece of Modern Art.

November booty - something old, something new, something traded, nothing to rue...

 

[LTVN68]

I purchased a Model 15 from Aberchrombie and Fitch in New York City in the summer of 1968 while they were actually still somewhat of an "outfitter".
I was a assigned to II Field Force Vietnam as a 23 year old 2LT. I ended up with the Royal Thai Army Black Panther Infantry Division Liaison Section at Bearcat. I carried the Randall every day. One day I did not and returned to my hooch to find it and other of my stuff stolen courtesy, I am sure, of one of our Vietnamese allies. Bad day.
Anyway, I have wondered if the thief appreciated what he had or used it to dig in his garden. Maybe his children or grandchildren have in this digital age, sold it on ebay : )
My salute to Randall; they did and still do make a great knife. It was a special thing to have owned it. Thanks for the great photos that bring back many memories.

Hey Shel, I really like the top one on the left. Is it a model 3-5?

LT, that's a sad story - a good one, yet sad.

Dan, nope, it's a #12-6 LBB...I now have five of 'em now, but really only want to keep this one...

Do you have pics of the five? I mean, I believe you and all but a picture truly is worth a thousand words.

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Mack, sure thing, right after I stop being too lazy to photograph knives for my website...

Well Shel, did u stop being too lazy yet? Still waiting for those pics!

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Nope - you wanna come shoot the photos? Maybe update my website while you're at it? I'd like to get my dinner table back sometime this year...

Edited to add: I've been shooting 20 to 30 photos of each RMK for a project I'm working on; that many because of my crappy photography skills and set-up (mini camera and natural lighting) and in the process ended up with close to a thousand photos to wade through, correct, and enhance. It's become mind numbing and makes me nausous to even think about. When back at BRK&T for the October Grind-in I spoke w/their photographer Crystal about her nice camera work - when she told me she only took one photo of each knife, I almost cried. Overwhelmed, I've put off taking any more photos until I get this mess cleaned up. I'll look into getting some lights tomorrow.

Great set of blades you got there Staffy. :thumbup:

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Found these today while looking for something else...

The Old Yellow Micarta #12-6 LBB is for you Mack - that makes four I know the whereabouts of. I'll take a pic of all five when I stumble across the other one. The maroon Micarta #1-5 shown here is a pretty sporty 'lil guy from the mid to late 1980's...very quick and well balanced in the hand. The other pic is yesterday's haul...

Ooooh, what's the one on the bottom? I want it!
