Randy has been making knives using the stock removal method for about 20 years. A protégé of D'Holder.

If you have been a customer very long, you have seen knives from Randy Lee before. He is one of the most popular knifemakers we have featured. Randy made his first knife in a high school shop class. He remained fascinated and years later, after studying with local makers, he decided to get serious and buy the proper equipment; this was 1979. It was 1988, however, before he attended his first knife show. Since then he has attended about six shows a year. A serious hunter, Randy field tests all of his designs. He wants them to work as well as they look. He is fortunate to have a wife who can make and decorate such fine sheaths. His sheaths are definitely a step above what is typical on knives of this price level.
