Here is the display that Art had it in at Blade.
To give it perspective of size, here it is in my hand.

Yes...I'm a groupie!
I am so thankful to Art for sharing this very special knife. He shared it at the Randall meeting, but I caught him with it as he was about to put it in the display case in the lobby.
Thanks again Art for bringing this piece of Randall history out in public to be appreciated.
There is a feature article in knife magazine on the knife, and it was being given out at no charge at the show.
It David or a moderator would give me permission, I would like to post pics of the article here for those of you that didn't make the show.
Thru the day, I will be posting a few other great knives.

I too got to handle the knife, both in the RKCC meeting and when Art first brought it out to the display case. In fact that is me over your right shoulder with my RMK display.
The Leschorn that Mitchell spoke about, the couple came and talked to a couple of us, who were displaying RMK, before they went in the show. When we guessed the knife was worth $4000.00+, the woman's eyes got as big as saucers. They got a lot more than that for the knife.
You acquired some nice knives. Congratulations.
