My new EDC Randall

I'm not sure if you guys will think this one belongs here, but it's the first Randall I received, and I plan on using as an EDC fixed blade when appropriate to carry one.

It's their new Model 27 "Miniature Trailblazer":

Congrats..

Beautiful knife. I have had three Randall's, loved them all..

But, I am not sure I would go around with a 500-800 USD EDC. You need a blade with good qualities and one that can survive in a humid sweaty pocket..

The #27 is a "working" blade, great for dicing big game, but that puppy is approaching Art level..

My $00.0002

The 2012 price is $400, but I know what you mean about it being too expensive and pretty to use. I just like the size of it, it's very compact. I do have a Model 23 coming in August which I will be using for a hunting knife.

So, maybe it won't really get much use...

Somewhere I still have a small 8" Randal dagger that I carried in RVN...looks pretty rough but still sharpens up great...it is the non stainless.
I didn't know they were still being made.

I'd love to see a picture of that if you can find it. I'm fascinated by the VN-era Randalls.

Remember the model number?

I'll see if I can find it. Buried with mt stuff somewhere...it wasn't an issue knife btw, just a bought one.....still, a great little blade, just the right size.
