OK, enlighten me....what's the big deal with "Randalls"
Lets see...
Long history ("fighting knives" of WWII)
Handmade
You can pick many features, custom knife
High Quality
Expensive (although not too bad)
Limited quantity available (Randall will not sacrifice handmade methods or quality)
Long waiting list (5 years)
Due to above, the moment your knife arrives you can sell it for double on ebay. There are a few distributors that have a ready, yet limited, supply of brand new Randall's but they too are priced about double the Randall catalog price.
Result:
The mystique continues....
Many of them never get used as knives but simply sit in collections
