Both the Randalls and the gold coin are borrowed for some photo shoots. I don't spend that kind of $$ for stuff that I won't use. They make good models though.

I never saw one for $20, but I did see one for $40 at a flea market in North Carolina around 1986. I don't remember which model exactly, but it was about a five-inch blade hunter. I already had a Model 11 Alaskan Skinner that I think I paid $60 for in about 1970, and this wasn't a model I particularly liked, but it was a Randall. It seemed kind of expensive to me at the time (I was strapped for cash), so I took a hard pass on it. Thought better of my decision a little later, and went looking for it the next week from that dealer. Of course it was gone. One of the biggest shopping/buying regrets of my life. Oh, well. But I still have my Model 11. It's a treasure to me even though I never use it (not that I wouldn't, but I have plenty of other knives and don't really need to use it). I just love owning it.
