RANDALL MADE KNIVES
Model 18 7.5 survival

Mythical American brand 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, from WWII onwards, and the more history a model has, the higher its value!
NASA equipped astronauts with one of its models, developed precisely to this specification (model 17 ASTRO), and in 1961 it equipped the crew of the Mercury 7 mission, becoming the first knife in orbit!
The catalog includes 28 models, all of which are customizable.

The current waiting time for orders is ... 6 years! The price of excellence!
As the list of distinctions and special features is still long, here's a link for the more curious:
