These knives produce many interesting stories.My wife accuses me of being “tight” at times as I like to make everything last. I call it being frugal.
For my 40 th birthday I was “gifted” with my dream Browning Superlite Superposed 20 gauge.I treasured it and it stayed in the safe unused until the prohibition of lead shot for duck hunting.After seeing the steel shot cripple so many ducks I broke out the safe queen as 20ga lead was OK.I went back to one shot kills,loved the gun and it’s now worth 3 times the purchase price.Don’t leave your prizes for your heirs.
In the late 1960’s I believe Esquire magazine ran some articles of the war in ‘Nam and one told of a soldier who in hand to hand killed several enemy with a Randall (?) Bowie.Sounded like Ol’ Jim himself.
I love my Randall’s, use ‘em and when I can’t I will fondle them.
