Default Randall Holy Grail

I am not a Randall collector but thought you might enjoy this picture. Friend of mine was lucky to have his picture taken with the only 14 inch Randall Bowie. It has a ivory grip, It Has been verified by Walter "Bo" Randall as the only one he made. There are two 13 inch Randall Bowies, one in a museum the other owned by a collector. Found at gun show in Wisconsin

Now that’s a knife!
Looks like it’s actually been used. Probably one of few Randalls that’s not a safe queen.

Thanks for sharing.

I would say that qualifies as a saber.....not a knife!
Pretty cool!

Although it does sound like a great Friday night.

You don’t have to actually do anything with it. Big knife can be cool to have just because it’s big.

Nice Randall OP. I used to own this “shorty” Randall. It had an 11” Blade from 3/8” stock, so while shorter than the OP, it may have weighed more.
