Sometimes a knife is not JUST a knife. Those are real treasures. Thanks for the background on them and happy hunting.

When you and your brother hold those knives in your hands, you must really feel close to your Dad and his Dad... Great!

As you said, those knives are priceless. If I were you I would share this story with the people at Randall in Orlando, Fl. Bo Randle died a few years back but I believe his son still owns and manages the business. Since Bo was involved personally his son might be willing to provide some additional info about your knives. Good luck and Merry Christmas.   :campfire:

Bill,
That is a fantastic idea!  I've been all over Randall's website, the company itself is steeped in history.  Very cool stuff.  I have learned a lot about the company trying to learn more about these knives.

Mangonboat mentioned using these knives.  Make no mistake, in my mind there would be no greater honor than using mine on an animal.  In about 2 weeks, good lord willing, in plan to use mine to open up a Florida hog!!

Thanks so much for all the responses.  I'm glad the gang enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed telling it.

Hey man, great story!

Tradgang, TBOF and PBS member, Don Davis knows quite a bit about Randall knives.  He asked me to PM you some contact information, which I have done.  Check your messages.

One thing I've always preached to my kids is you never regret buying quality. I'm sure your Grandfather would agree... Thanks for sharing a great story!   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Cool Story!  Part of me is glad your G Pa's knife was stolen. It allowed him to visit Bo and get 2 knives made, perfect for twin brothers!
