Two of my most treasured gun-show finds. It just so happens that I found them both on the same day at the same gun-show.
In the mid 80s if you owned a Buckmaster knife, you had some serious style points. Retail on a Buckmaster was right at one hundred dollars which was an unheard of sum of money for a production knife. I found this one about a year ago and a bit of nostalgia convinced me to drop 2 bills on it.

Not ten minutes later, I stumbled across a new/no box Randall. I have always wanted one but could never justify dropping the coin they get.

Since I have not seen many Randalls in the wild, I bit the bullet and struck a deal. That is the fun thing about going to gun-shows with me. I may start the first lap looking for Smith wheel guns and end up with a pair of my bucket list knives.
The greatest thing about the gun world, is that it is not always about guns.
