Hi Buddy!

I can report that my #25-5 user has done some travelling, been handled by folks, and been admired by strangers.

It's been to an outdoor BBQ, visited an African Safari park, and taken in all the sights, sounds and smells at a rural country fair. :cool:

Everyone agrees it's one heck of beautiful, solid looking knife that means business.

However, the blade has yet to actually cut something substantial, but not to worry eventually it will.

Cheers!

David

Moosehead,
I'm glad to hear your knife is getting out these days. Keeping it in a safe would be like leaving your best dog in an apartment through the hunting season.

And don't worry about the possible eBay resale issue. Just keep a journal of the knife's adventures so you can craft a whopper of a tale to tell about the knife's history. There's always someone on eBay willing to pay top dollar for used knife with a big story!

Good thinking RedElk!

Did I mention that I was able to scare off a nasty looking procupine, just by pointing to the knife resting comfortably sheathed on my hip?

All I said to the quilly beast was: "It's a Randall!", and the fellow got the point and scrurried off into the woods.

Cheers!

Moosehead

Are you sure that you didn't say "It's a Randall, man." Maybe the little prickly fellow misunderstood you to say "It's Randall Man!" Surely, that would have sent the fellow on its way.

COOL!

Hey, I got an idea....you could break it in by finding an appropriate dead limb or branch and use your RMK #25-5 to fashion a walking stick. That's what me and my 12 year old son do when we go camping. (Yeah, that's the son I mentioned last year who called the Dept. of Social Services and said he wanted to leave our home and go live with Randall Man .)

That's a real beauty, Peter! It looks like you're making it work for you.

Thank as well for reviving this old thread. I reread the whole thing and it brought back some pleasant memories.

It also got me wondering where some of the great folks who posted here in the past have gotten to. I hope some will return and that new members or lurkers will take the plunge and participate too.

Now

Here's the sheath which I waterproofed with the bee's wax based product, "Sno-Seal". It created quite a buzz when I showed it off the last time.










Cheers!

David

I've always thought the best Randalls are well used ones.

In the last week, I've used my carving set for our turkey on Canadian Thanksgiving, a #10 for steaks, cleaning ducks and geese, and finally my #28 for cutting down a whole thicket of red willow to lay under the tires of my buried jeep last weekend (the duck hunting was awesome in the rain).

Cheers,

Alan
