I am guessing that the fairly recent addition of more handle material and blade steel options for the 110 and 112 have sparked a lot more interest. I think they also added a drop point blade as an option for the 112.

I think you’re right. More orders would be my guess.

My last 110 i got with the drop point and jade micarta with finger grooves. This order, a 119 is the black s35v blade with brass gaurd/pommel and shokwood handle. Next month is hopefully another 110 with burlap micarta and serrated blade & finger grooves. we'll see, those darn bark Rivers keep draining my funds.

My Buck Paradigm has a Bos hardened S35VN blade. I’ve had it a couple of years now. I predict you’re gonna love it.

Waiting for a knife is a good mental exercise. Just go about your life and time flys by.

My cousin wanted a Randal, but said there is no way he’d wait 6 years for one. I sold him one of mine, then ordered a replacement.

The replacement came in last week. I texted him about it.

His reply? There is no way I bought that from you 6 years ago. He also admitted he has never used it. .

Point is time flies. Here is the replacement.

Illbe. 79 the end of April. I expect my kids would be the ones who would see a randall if I was to order now.

Very, very nice. The sheath looks nice too.

[robpa]

yeh, I like the sheath. 2nd one from custom with that style material, kinda like a very smooth suede I noted the gaurd is a bit larger on this one, it doesnt ride the stand as the others do?
