80's Viintage collector's knife
RANDALL MADE KNIVES
Model 1-7 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 1” is possibly THE emblematic Randall model.
The best-known is the 1-7 (7 for 7 inches, of course), but the 1 also comes in 5-, 6- and 8-inch blades!
And even a Mini!
The “stacked leather” handle is part of the ultra-classic package.
Technically :
Produced in the 80s
17.7cm stainless steel blade (Randall's “S” is for Stainless, carbon steels simply don't have the “S”)
Total length 30.5cm
Through tang construction, bolted to pommel
5mm thickness
Sharpened counter-edge
Double brass guard
Typical Randall tricolor liners
Handle in stacked, polished leather washers
Duralumin pommel
Roughback leather case with belt loop and whetstone
Supplied in black nylon sheath with zip closure
Knife condition: unused, but has been stored in its sheath and as a result, the brass has some traces of oxidation (which have been cleaned but slight marks remain).
Our opinion:
Randall is a must-have in any collection; this Model 1-7 Vintage in stacked leather is the ULTRA classic from the RANDALL MADE KNIVES brand, and without doubt THE model to own if you had to have only one!
This knife is hyper-versatile, and the ideal size for all types of use.
The quality of RANDALL's craftsmanship makes it a superb addition to any collection, militaria or otherwise.
