Howdy! Nice forum ya'll seem to have here.

I have been reading for a bit.

Thought I would post my modest collection of RMKs.

A few are inherited, most are purchased.

First is a Cattleman and a model 26, the 26 was purchased because I loved the musk ox.

Cattleman got put to use cutting fall bull calves back in December. It's a stainless blade but has held its edge so far. I grew up borrowing similar randall knives from relatives when cutting calves.

A model 5 5 inch from early 90s I believe that has seen some use, I have since traded this one away.

And an unused fairly new model 25-5 with antler handle.

Both blades are 01 as opposed to stainless.

believe it's a 1948 vintage based off the choil and spacers ... though it could be early 50s. No sheath remains sadly.

Next is a mid 1940s hunter. This one looks very similar to one the same age my grandfather had, that now resides with another family member.

The stag handle is a replacement as the 5 spacers indicates it originally had a leather handle I believe. Thought the uniformity of thickness would indicate pre 48 construction.
The heiser sheath and stone make it appear to be 44-46. Blade grind probably isn't original, but I think it is a cool knife.

2nd one is a new production little bear bowie with stag handle and metal spacers.

I love the finger grips on this one and it may get taken hunting just from the feel of it in my hand.

I probably wouldn't have purchased the fighter if it hadn't been offered in combination with the #4! Don't get me wrong, I have felt for a while if I was collecting Randall's I needed a #1.....I just wasn't looking for one.

I actually like this 1-6 more than I thought I would. Not saying it will ever get much use, but it's a nice blade.

The #4 though took my breath away the minute I saw it. As I understand it Randall limits to 5 chargeable options now..but this one I count 7 which is how they used to do it but not entirely certain when that change was made.

This knife will definitely come along on the next hunting trip.

Nice collection indeed. I’m not a fan of finger grooves on stag, but your pictures have me reconsidering.
Thanks for sharing.
