It's actually not even my knife, I just made it for a friend. He was helping an elderly woman clean out her garage and was given the blade which was made by Randall some time in the 40's. Her father had bought the blade during WWII when he as stationed overseas, and it remained coated with cosmoline wrapped in wax paper ever since. I didn't even know Randall ever sold blades only, but his mark was clearly stamped into the blade. Added the bolster, took a carbide bit and drilled the stick tang and then set it in stabilized Redwood and shaped the handle for him.   He was pleased with how the knife turned out, so he asked me to make a presentation box for it. He wanted to use items he acquired from his African safari. He brought me Elephant skin, Hippo teeth and Cape Buffalo horn. This is what I came up with, along with a sheath I made and inlaid with some Rattlesnake skin. Thanks for looking.
