Time line history of Randall Knives and the Randall Family,
By A Customer
This review is from: Randall Made Knives: The History Of The Man And The Blades (Equipment & Techniques) (Hardcover)
This is a nice history of Randall Made Knives. The book gives a time line history of the Randall knife production and an historical perspective. The various models and the history of how they came into being is presented. The story of the development of these knives is excellent and a lot of details are included. A nice set of photographs of the different models and configurations is included along with excellent photographs throughout the book. What is missing is a discription of the knife making process, an explanation of the different sheaths and the meanings of the different markings. There is no discription of the changes in the knives over the years that would help in establishing dates of manufacture, etc. A very informative and enjoyable book for any knife collector. A must for anyone interested in Randall Made Knives.
