Randall knife

Help Support Ruger Forum:

Sort of sad it will never fulfill its intended purpose.
That is one of the things I have always been proud of. Every Randall that has been in this house and three have been passed down to Niece and Nephews have been used as knives. Pretty tools but a tool and to be used and enjoyed while using them. The same here goes for firearms. Nothing ultra rare or irreplaceable so no safe queens and all get fired.
 
I have two Randall's that have never even sliced a piece of paper with and I have numerous working knives that get used and reused and resharpened pretty often. I purchased the Randall's for their beauty and collectibility.
Kind of the same way many purchase firearms, some for collectin, some for shootin.
 
That's a beauty. I have two on order, one for each of my boys. First one got delivered earlier this year, still waiting for the other. The younger boy can't even sit up on his own yet, so we are in no rush
 
I went with a model 8 with stag and a brass buttcap for my first born and a model 26 in stag for the youngest. I had their names engraved on the blades, so I'm sure the collectibility is ruined, but I hope that they will be well used anyways.

Here's the first one I got back, the model 8. I haven't decided what age is going to be the best to give to them. Maybe I'll let them carry them on camping trips and such when they're young and gift them permanently when they're older. Haven't figured it yet!
