Hi Jack!
I don't find your posts boring at all, although Bill O'Reilly might have another term for your last one.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about pinned handled Randalls to offer much comment, but I assume that the knife-makers in Bo's shop just used their good judgement to choose the right size pin which would be compatible with the handle material, size and shape.
With regard to the "giant" crocodile of biblical proportions, I am very impressed that you were able subdue it with no harm coming to yourself.
However, despite the photographic evidence some might cry that your tale is a crock.
Cheers!
David
