90's Viintage collector's knife

RANDALL MADE KNIVES

Model 1-7 green micarta silver nickel guard

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

many of his models have been used in every war since WWII, and the more historical 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 1-7 Vintage is the ULTRA classic from the RANDALL MADE KNIVES brand, and without a doubt THE model to own if you only had one!

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