The recent passing of Rhett Stidham (1941 -2011) must be a very sad loss for his wife Janie, his family and many friends. It also marks the end of a long and interesting chapter in the world of Randall knife collecting.
Rhett founded the premier club for those fascinated with the world of Randall Made Knives, The Randall Knife Society, which he started in 1989 and presided over for more than twenty years.
An enthusiastic cutlery collector himself, Rhett was extremely knowledgeable about not only Randalls but also the creations of many other well known knife-makers.
Rhett fought a courageous battle with cancer, and will be sorely missed by all.
My sincere condolences go out to Janie and his family.
David
