I'm partial to the knife on the far left with the stacked leather handle. But ALL of them are super nice!Very nice. That top one is calling to me...
I just collect and by the way I've never had a blooded hand and that's even after spending 4 years in the U S Army in the 60's. But I do agree, they would probably be slippery.All well and good, but I don't favor handles with such smooth grips. Too easy when hand is wet/bloodied to lose your grip on such a knife. Other than that, they are nice to look at. Excuse my ignorance, but are these knives for carrying out in the woods or cutlery knives in the kitchen?
Really ?I do think they don't really cost so much that they are beyond use.
I'm curious as to why you think the sheath sucks. I have many knives and most of the fixed blades have kydex sheaths which I prefer. I don't think Randall ships any with kydex. I find that the Randall sheaths to be best high quality, best built leather sheaths that can be had.With the exception of one all my Randalls are using knives. I bought this one for nostalgia. I wanted one in the 70's but they weren't obtainable. So I ended up with a USAF Pilots Survival Knife which worked just as well.

I only have one complaint about Randalls. The sheaths suck.
Yes, I agree with you. But I guess I think of collecting something for the money. And while Randall knives are expensive, I don't think they appreciate in value the way something else would.Really ?
I have never seen one less than $400 . Some go for well over $1000. Well over.
I can buy a lot of very good knives for that kind of money that work just as good.
I am not bashing Randall knives or anyone who buys them.
They are very nice knives.
I wasn't aware of the shortcomings you mentioned. The fact is I've never carried them.On every Randall I have if you do not use the paracord to lace the handle to the belt loop the knife handle flops out and catches on stuff. I also do not like the mandatory sharpening stone pouch. I have sheaths from custom makers that don't flop. The belt loop is simply not stiff enough to support the weight of the knife handle.
