Fixed-blade survival and extreme conditions knife: Randall Made Knives Model Fireman Special, forged stainless steel with a brass guard and a green micarta single-finger grip handle.

Randall is a legendary American brand founded in 1938 (!) by Bo Randall, who was arguably one of the most influential cutlers of all time!

Many of its models have been used in every war since the Second World War, and the more history a model has, the higher its value!!!

The RMK ‘Fireman Special’ is a compact fixed-blade knife designed for survival-type use; its XXL construction relative to its size makes it virtually unbreakable, at least by human strength alone.
With its 6mm-thick blade made from forged stainless steel and a blade length of 10.5cm, you can see why it’s described as ‘virtually unbreakable’, can’t you?

Our verdict:
Randall is (if possible) a must-have for any collection; the Fireman Special model is truly underrated, yet it’s very endearing thanks to its ‘overbuilt’ design! What’s more, its compact size means you can take it absolutely anywhere, and it looks great too!

The grip on this Randall Fireman Special is particularly secure and comfortable, thanks to its very classic handle shape known as the “single finger grip”.

The Randall Made Knives Fireman Special fixed-blade knife is the ideal size for all kinds of uses – or for displaying in a showcase, of course! Note that, weighing in at 290g, you’re unlikely to forget it! Not bad for a 10.2cm blade!!!

The quality of craftsmanship from RANDALL makes it a superb addition to any collection, whether military-themed or not.
