RANDALL MADE KNIVES

Model 5 - 6 Camp And Trail forged carbon steel black micarta handle with compass nickel silver guard black leather sheath

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

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!
