All About Pocket Knives

I have one I’ve been trying to figure out for a while now. I can’t get anywhere with it. Maybe someone here can figure it out.

I found a vague reference to a Randall dive knife mentioned in a newspaper article. Florida Today Dec 7,1975. I’d love to read this article.

This is an article about Randall knives from Florida Today, dated Dec 7, 1975. Not sure if this is what you were looking for or if you already have this? Clicking on the article will make it big enough to read.

Here are the second two pages of the article.

Here you go eveled.
I do a lot of research online pertaining to my family history through Ancestry.com, Fold3.com (Military) and Newspapers.com.
I was able to pull up your request. The article is posted below.

Dan, you got two pages that I missed. I also used newspapers.com to find this.

I'm sure you know what I mean.

Sorry about the "gaps" in the print. It's the way it was copied on the site.

Thanks Old Folder and danno50! I really appreciate the efforts. It’s a great article.

The picture I saw with the referenced article was of a Randall dive knife found by a treasure hunter. I guess the picture and the article were missed matched? Imagine finding a Randall on the beach?

I do know what you mean, Dan, it is a a great site.
Skip, the article on the Walden Safety Device was very interesting. Needed a little guessing, but the general idea comes through.
Eveled, I tried searching further to try find the article with the photo of the dive knife, but not luck.

Thanks Dan. I really appreciate the follow up. Just a wild goose chase I guess. Thank you again.

Great information Skip.
Now we know when, where and who invented the "Trick Knife", which does come up in occasional discussions.
