Default One with four options....

Kinda fun to obscure what the thread is really about!

I tend to do that alot....




OK, here is an old knife of mine that was sent to a gent over in a country in SE Asia in 1968...

Pretty easy for anyone that knows to guess the maker....harder still would be to guess which four options this one has...

You didn't think I was going to make this one easy, did'ja...

This is fun, let this original post sit here abit...

What do you want to bet if I changed the first word of the thread to the Makers' Name, that it would start to take off...

Funny the difference a word makes

Nickel silver hilt, stag handle, thong hole, stainless blade, and I think the sheath was an option at the time. Also, hard to tell from the photo, but does it have a thin brass buttcap?

Well it is a Randall for sure.

As for options, I am at a loss. Compass in the handle? Lanyard hole?

We always say.. " I wish that gun could talk.." I's like to hear the stories of the knife when it was " In Country". Thanks for sharing.

That's it.. first chance I get I'm going to the Randell shop to learn more.. You'd think after 15 years of living here I would have gone already.. Only about a 20 minute drive..

Is it just me, or is there at least three questionable references here?


I'm just sayin'.....

I'm pretty sure that BlackAgnes' first sentence is right, except about the sheath.
