  • Randall's First Half Century
    Randall's First Half Century by Jim Williamson ccording to anthropologists. the first A man-made tools of which we have hard evidence are knives of sorts. These hand-axes and "pebble tools" provided sharp edges for many centuries and were. of course. hand-made. By the early 20th century. the age old tradition of hand craftsmanship was rapidly disappearing from cutlery production. Factories replaced blacksmiths. and even such quality-minded firms as I*XL weren't taking the time they once had with each knife. It seemed as if hand work. let alone custom orders. was a fading memory of a bygone era. Enter W.D. Randall. Jr.. scion of a prominent Southern family whose wealth came from such enterprises as a paper mill. orange groves. and cattle. The Randalls Randall's 50th Year Knife looks like a vintage version of the Model 3 Hunter. The escaped Floridas humid summers at a blade is marked 1938-1988. The crown stag handle is secured with the old style pin. vacation home on Walloon Lake. MJ. One (Randall) afternoon. young W.O. (Walter Doane) chanced upon a fellow scraping the keel of a boat with a handmade knife of better quality than Randall felt was suited to the use. Some money changed hands. and Randall went off to admire his new knife. Made by William Scagel. a reclusive artisan whose knives now command a premium well beyond the price paid by Randall. the knife projected a quality not seen in factory knives. The Scagel intrigued Randall enough so he set up a forge back in Florida.
