Randall Made Knives Model 1-6 All-Purpose Fighting Knife – Forged carbon steel blade, deer antler handle

This Randall Model 1-6 fixed knife arrived directly from the Randall workshop in October 2026. Offered brand-new, it comes with a brown leather sheath and a black nylon carrying pouch embroidered with “Randall Made Knives – Orlando, FL.”

This configuration particularly highlights the deer antler handle; its natural brown grain contrasts with the polished cream surfaces, carved to form four-finger indentations. The material retains a distinct presence on the back and sides of the handle, giving this specimen its own unique character.

The polished nickel silver double guard—a classic feature of the Model 1—features slightly curved quillons. Black and aluminum spacers provide a transition to the stag horn, while a tubular section at the end of the handle accommodates a green lanyard. The overall design emphasizes a traditional aesthetic, with the craftsmanship clearly visible.

The forged carbon steel blade features the characteristic design of the Model 1: a slender silhouette, an open tip, and a long upper back edge, which is also sharpened. Its satin finish highlights the different surfaces of the grind and contrasts with the polish of the guard.

The brown leather sheath features a snap-button retention tab and a front pocket for a whetstone. The included embroidered pouch completes this set for storage and transport.

Tellknives Review:
We particularly appreciate the deer antler on this piece; the contrast between the dark, textured sections and the light, sculpted areas gives the handle a very distinct look. The four-finger indentations enhance its character while preserving the material’s natural contours.

The 1-6 size also offers a beautiful balance between the blade and the handle. We see this as a well-balanced configuration for discovering the Model 1 or for adding to a collection with a knife whose handle has a distinct identity.

Its like-new condition and direct shipment from the workshop serve as concrete proof of its provenance. The embroidered pouch provides a polished presentation and complements the set beautifully.
