@Wishfulthinker580 - I know Randall makes a quality knife and has a very good reputation, they have become “collectible” and increase in value mostly because of their scarcity ….that adds more to their price then does their quality.
I’ve had objects that I only wanted to buy the “name brand” even though I knew equal quality existed elsewhere and at a similar or lower price….but I WANTED the name brand - is that part of the appeal to Randall knives? IE: I’ve got to have a Ferrari even though the Porsche is just as Fast !! Similar to Holland & Holland - rare and only a few made each year, by hand and by only One person —- but there are other great rifles, as good quality, more easily available, slightly less expensive…BUT they can Never be a “Holland & Holland” and therefore just won’t do. I don’t own a Randall, would like too but not enough to go through the effort required and the time needed. But I respect - even admire those that do
