At some point, Irelands (Murf's) and the Gin encroached and the spot where the shop had been was no longer visible. I have one of Mr. Hall's knife, and immense (and not really practical) one with an osage orange handle. I would love to see (and post) photos of Mr Hall and his shop.

I still use the knives we made. I also photographed and recorded him. Let me know if you'd like to see some photos. When I visited Oxford a few years ago there wasn't a trace of his shop.

Randall-made knives are available from the maker's family in Orlando FL. Sometimes they're hard to get because of the collector value. The shop works at full shift 5 days a week and can't keep up with the demand. Thanks again. Thanks everybody for the comments about my work.

I'll start looking for you at the gun & knife shows in the region. You need to add a few Randall-Made knives to your holdings. I have one of Andy's knives Thai I'm duly proud of.
