Upon ordering and prior to shipment Randall Made customers must be aware of their local import and export regulations on fixed-blade knives.
Regulations change often. Most of these are made in foreign countries and do not even remotely resemble a genuine Randall.

Gary Randall Gary Randall, the present owner, took over from his father, W.
We are one of the few authorized Randall dealers, and try to keep a stock of their knives. Blackjack knives at the KnifeCenter are American made fixed blades that are handcrafted in the style of Randall knives using top quality steel mostly A2 tool steel and handle materials.
Although these knives are not cheap, they are truly bargains because of the high level of materials and craftsmanship in each one. Guy Clark himself. What a great person. After he signed the Sheath, he asked "me" if it was okay to take it out and "give 'er a look see" he was seemingly impressed. I probably got my first Randall around , having been a big Guy Clark fan since the early 's but well they ain't cheap. Over the years, I have owned maybe 4 or 5 others, some just to look at, often to decide if it's a keeper or move on.
I like "fighting knives. Now here is my point, I'm not trying to be insulting but I worked with a Dealer, who pretty much kept me a "slot" so I could get a Randall Knife every year, I could have got more but like I said they are expensive and it was like a yearly surprise. For almost the last 10 years I can almost always buy a Randall on Ebay for less than from either Randall or a Dealer. I keep my 3 Fighters under glass, give them a nice polish every month or so, admire them and hang them back on the wall.
Mind you,like all of us I'm getting old and I can't say that any of my younger nephews really have much interest, that's fine. It's a nice knife and all but really too big and heavy to use. I just don't see this subject come up much. I like my Randall knives and never needed the money where I was forced to sell one and for the most part, I do love to look at them on the wall in that display case. Again, rather sit on it untill I can at least not loose money.
Still, fact is, one can go today and get a Randall cheaper on Ebay than through the factory or a dealer. I just wondered how other's feel. Like I said, I'm not big time, it's a small hobby but I've been doing it for over 20 years now, I enjoy it but do to the inability to even break even I have not sold a knife for over 5 years.
I'm sure others will comment but its very much a buyers market right now with the exception of the truly rare or high quality older knives. With the passing of Rhett Stidham and the demise of the RKS, collectors are no longer getting the exposure to the knife collecting hobby in general, and of course RMK's.
He always had his ubiquitous RKS sign on his table, was willing to talk to folks, and promoted the hobby every day. He was regular with the newsletter 4 times a year. He would always get a few recruits at a show. He was the consumate promotor. That is how he made his living so he had a vested interest in keeping interest high. That is the biggest reason in my opinion and of course the economy comes into play also. Collectibles of many items have fallen out, but if folks aren't getting educated and and there is little promotion of the hobby other than internet sites, you have what you have.
As of yet, no one has filled Rhett's shoes. If you make a living off knives, and you want the hobby to grow, there is no substitute with putting a face to it.
