Harry Morseth's knives were not connected to Randall's. Both were just handmade knives. Randall was inspired to make knives by a friend that he saw using a Scagel knife , and early Randalls resembled Scagels.

I kept some handwritten letters from Bo Randall. Wonder if they're valuable today? He used a fountain pen, which I thought was classy.

I prefer the stainless blades. Gary Randall told me that the plain "carbon" blades may hold an edge some 10% better and be a little easier to sharpen, but I think the advantages of the stainless outweigh that. And based on my observations, I think the stainless blades usually get a better polish. Could be just the knives I've seen...

My son visited the Randall shop a couple of years ago and took some nice photos. He was pretty impressed.
