90's Viintage collector's knife

RANDALL MADE KNIVES

Model 15 AIRMAN 5.5

A mythical American brand created in 1938 (!) by Bo Randall, who was probably one of the most influential knifemakers of all time:

many of his models have been used in every war since WWII, and the more historic the models, the higher their value!

NASA equipped astronauts with one of its models, developed precisely to these specifications (model 17 ASTRO), and in 1961 it was used by the crew of the Mercury 7 mission, becoming the first knife in orbit.

there are 28 models in the catalogue, all of which can be customised

the waiting time for an order is currently ... 6 years!The price of excellence!

As the list of distinctions and special features is still long, here's a link for those who are more curious :

Our opinion:

Randall is a must-have in any collection; the Model 15 5.5 AIRMAN is by far not the best-known, but it's very interesting: ultra-versatile and virtually unbreakable, it's designed for military use but also for all outdoor and bushcraft activities.

The RANDALL MADE KNIVES Model 15 5.5 AIRMAN fixed military and camp knife is the ideal size for all types of use, or for display!

RANDALL's quality craftsmanship makes it a superb addition to any collection, militaria or otherwise.
