RANDALL MADE KNIVES

Model 1-7 black micarta

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:

Our opinion:

Randall is a must-have in any collection; this Model 1-7 is a great 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.
