Title: ...And ya think it takes a long time to get a bow...
Post by: WESTBROOK on August 06, 2011, 08:59:00 AM
I know some bowyers have waiting time that can be looong and stressfull, especially the last couple months. Well I FINALLY got my Randall knife that I waited 5 1/2 years to get. I went with the model #25 Trapper w/ 5" blade. Well worth the wait. I was suprised, the pics on Randalls site made it look like a smaller framed knife but it is a handfull bone and steel. Check it out.

I was also lucky enough to catch Ron LaClair at K'zoo this winter befor he sold all of his Shrew Skinners. So I got me a couple new hunting companions for the coming season.

WOW...  :scared:  ...That's exactly what I said when I scrolled down to see the knife.  I always thought you guys were crazy to wait that long, but after seeing it I can understand.  Truly awesome. Almost as good as some of Lin's work.  :saywhat:

The average waiting period for a Randall knife is 5.2 years? is that correct?

If you want a Randall,  go through Nordic Knives,  will get it much quicker.
