I briefly perused the Randall's catalog and non-catalog knives and nothing available "now" is close to the handle on this one.

You might try posting in the Randall Collector's sub-forum and asking which model it is there, or send a picture of it to Randall's them selves and see if they can give you the model number and approximate date.

AGRussell has several Randall fixed blades with Black Micarta handles. I don't kno if Yours is some kind of Horn material. But if it's Micarta, there are still several similar models.

This Linder came in yesterday and I am very pleased with it; the sheath is a little corny but I like kitsch also.

Congratulations tongueriver. I think the stag and lines of the blade are exceptional. Very good looking. ::tu:: :)

Yes it is. A real show stopper. Never expected to see a Kris blade on a German knife.

K7K: Don't know if you have this info on your knife from Linder. Just in case, here it is. Bottom line, it came out of their custom shop.



Product Features
This is a wonderful hand made dagger crafted in the Linder shop in Solingen, Germany by Peter Rosenkaimer.

PPR means Peter Paul Rosenkaimer and is one of the two sons of Sigfried Rosenkaimer who has owned Linder since the 1950s.

The handles are hand-turned and the knives assembled by Peter. The handle mountings and the sheath fittings are of precision cast nickel silver (using lost wax process to grant a max of details shown on the surface of the parts).

Perhaps the most valuable point of these daggers are the blades which definitely make this range interesting for collectors.

The blades are all hand-ground and hand-polished by an elderly cutler who used to work for Linder and has been retired for many years. Linder had him make a limited number of these complicated kris dagger blades before he retired and there are no longer any cutlers capable of making blades of this quality in Solingen.

The blades were forged in Solingen by Otto Wester (smiths who no longer exist since many years now).

QS: Thank you so much for that info! I didn't realize it was a custom knife from Linder.It still has the tag on it like the OP's knife and I think I have the box it came in;I'll have to check. I will add that info to my files.

This is my only knife that I own. It was given to me by my mom as a gift a few years ago. It hasn't been used. Only sharpened 1 time. How is this knife? The handle is quite comfortable in my hand. ::groove::

And it says on the blade Buck Pro-Line. The blade says 392 near the handle.

Right up there by the 392 should be the date code which will tell you what year it was made. Compare with the chart below. Left click on the image two times to get it to increase in size.

You hit the nail right on the head ken98k! I was thinking the same thing when i picked it up for him. It's a big beefy knife that will take alot of abuce.

Doing some re-photographing of my knives and thought I'd post up this one(or two).A Gerber set with the rough handles that are stamped Gerber on the underside and not the knife's name. The previous owner carved his initials into the leather(H.V.). Doesn't look like they were used very much.

The staghandeled is a NK from Gary Bradburn, one of the first knives i bought from the USA.
The other one is made this year to my wishes by Tony Mont from Greece.
