Randalls and S&W Mod.39 This replaces post stolen by "photobucket"

Are both stag - handled knives Model 5? I'm pretty sure about the one on the right, less so about the other.

I like your Model 15, too.

Have you ever noticed how Model 2 blade looks a LOT like that on the iron-bladed dagger from King Tut's tomb? Not much changed there in thousands of years... I wonder if W.D. Randall modeled his Model 2 on that knife as well as the Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger.

There's some great combo photos here (and some posts I wanted to see but couldn't). Here's model 38 no dash and an Edge Mark 469 bowie, both recent purchases.

I haven't seen a CopperLock with a Wharncliffe blade before. Mine has the usual clip shape.

Interesting knife, although I prefer the usual clip blade. Case makes some nice knives.

How about an Old Highway Patrolman and an old Buck Special?

Rick-

I've owned several M-28's, and all shot fantastic groups. Mine had six-inch barrels like yours, too.

I literally just took delivery of a 75th Anniversary Model 119 Buck knife. I already have a std. one like yours. Probably won't use the new one much, as it's a collectible, made only last year. See YouTube for videos. QC on the knife is excellent.

A tag on that box says it was shipped from Buck on Dec. 4, 2017. It's found a loving home.

I think the Model 119 Special is one of the best factory knives made, certainly in a modest price range. I've used a desktop photo of one on a log in a forest. Several such pics and of Model 120 General are on the Net.

I suspect you like that knife a lot. Thanks for the picture.

There's a famous statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa. The shape of his sword blade reminds me of that on your knife.

As a Grecian sword, I think that one may be unique.

The stag handled knife on left is a Randall Mod. 12 "Little Bear Bowie"
and yes the No.2 was inspired by the British Commando knife says so in the Randall Cat.

Kitgun-

I know it was inspired by the Commando knife. I've seen Randall catalogs since 1960 or so. But look up King Tut's daggers, too.

What I wondered was whether Randall had seen them and took that into account in designing Model 2.

Is the Buck a Wrangler or Stockman?

I carried a Wrangler for decades.
