RANDALL MADE KNIVES

Model 4-6 Fighter stacked leather

A 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 historic the models, the higher their 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 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 the more curious:

The “Model 4” is traditionally a hunting model, but in this “F” version for fighter, the blade incorporates a double curvature and thus becomes more of a combat knife!

The “stacked leather” handle is part of the brand's ultra-classic package.
