I'm sure there are knives available from the larger makers that would work just fine, but it's nice to have something that is made explicitly to your specifications.
That pretty well wraps it up. People buy custom knives for the same reason they do a lot of things...vanity. If its made 'just for you' it makes you feel special.
And don't get me wrong, Ive been toting around a Model 7 Randall for 47 years....so I'm "vain" too!
But the fact is I use a lot of other factory knives and most will do anything the Randall does...handily.
But I also now shoot a .275 Rigby instead of a 7x57....
so yeah...I'm pretty much like everyone else....
