Hi mtngunr!
I'm happy to see your new Randall hard at work. I'm also pleased to learn that your #5 makes a good whittling knife. I didn't realize that it could be used for woodcarving.
The reason I became (and still am) enamoured with these knives is that they are fundamentally made to be used. The simple construction of almost all RMK models lends themselves to make great cutting tools for a variety of purposes. They are tough and reliable.
Of course that does not prevent folks from keeping them in their brand new mint condition to collect and admire. However, regardless of one's means, one could eventually have a user and a collection piece.
Cheers!
David
