New Randall

UPS brought a package from Orlando yesterday. Ordered March 2002, #5 Camp and Trail, 8" blade, stag handle with compass:

Here's one with her older sister:

Hard to see the difference from a #1. Thats a beauty!

 

[Kingcreek]

Beautiful!

 

[steveno]

a Randall #1 has the top edge sharpened and comes with a double hilt(optional on some other models). I have 5 Randall's and they are the best

Very nice! How long did you wait for them?

The compass is sort of cheezzy

Good looking knife. The compass is a nice, extremely functional touch. It's always nice to have a low weight back-up if your primary is lost -- it wouldn't be good to be hiking cross country with no compass if your primary disappears. And if the compass ever goes bad over a period of years/decades, Randall can replace it easily and inexpensively. I had a compass put into a really nice stag handled #23 -- my favorite Randall -- that I gave to my father. The only ability lost with the compass is hammering/crushing with the knife butt, but that's viable only with a metal buttplate.

I ordered in March 2002, delivered last week. Worth the wait, IMO.

good choice to avoid their stainless offering

I have a new model 1 randall in the wrap available in Los Angeles. Bought it and it has resided in a safe for 15 years. [email protected]. Price is $375 in Los Angeles or $390 delivered inside the US>

Love the knife. I could do without the compass. Just my 2 cents.
