Randall has been making handmade knives for over 50 years. Gary Randall, the present owner, took over from his father, W. D. "Bo" Randall in the mid 1970's. These are the best known and most noted handmade knives in the world. They have been mentioned in both novels and in histories. This very model was carried by U-2 pilot Gary Powers on his ill fated flight over the USSR. The Randall shop remains so busy that it often takes over four years to get a knife direct from them. For anyone wanting to order directly from Randall the price will be lower, but the wait will be extremely long.
This is a small game knife and in the hands of an expert, an outstanding big game knife. 4-1/8" blade of 3/16" high-carbon steel (non-stainless), the top of the blade is sharpened. India Stag handle, brass hilt, leather sheath.
