Lucky Randall Find

[Eire]

I just picked up a box of old tools for a bargain $50. I got a good deal all round, but this knife caught my attention, more for the home made sheath than what was in it.

When I got the box home, I pulled out the knife and saw that what I had bought was a Randall 3 or 4 with a 7 inch blade. Can anyone confirm this? Any ##ea of how to date it?

Its been suggested to me that trying to refurbish this knife myself if likely far beyond my skill level and i should send it back to Randall to bring it back to condition. Does anyone know ballpark what Randall are likely to charge.

Thanks for any info.

Welcome. It's a Model 4-7 from the 60's. Go on the Randall website to find the refurbishing charge. Worse case place a call to the Shop.

If you send it to the shop they'll give you a quote after reviewing the knife.
Turn around time use to be pretty good[2-3 weeks] but with Cov## it'll most likely be longer.

There is a history of use on that blade. Oil it, use it, and continue the story.

I'm surprised to see the solder cracked. This knife has been abused. $50? Oh, man, you won the lotto on this one!

Wonder what he chose to do?
