    Nothing wrong with a Randall, they’re iconic. But “finest steel”? No, he was already behind the times by the seventies. But “one man operation”? No, he had 15-20 guys working for him by the seventies. His parents were wealthy from OH and bought thousands of acres of citrus farmland in FL. Making knives was a luxury afforded to him. Americans love to buy and carry what our soldiers use and this military provenance is a sales pitch.

    The yellow document has a 1988 date on it. Randall had to make more than 1,000 knives during WWII. They are still making hand made knives in Orlando that are prized by collectors. They have a six year wait, so place your order now,

    The colored spacers on the grip are not plastic. They are a vulcanized fiber material. No such plastic existed at that time. We still use it today for liners and spacers as shown here. KnifeMaker

    Randall is right up there at the top of the wish list for most knife guys. I read or heard just recently (I think Hickock 45, maybe) that the waiting list is 7 years. To have one from Korea or Vietnam is a treasure. To have your father's from WWII is a priceless heirloom and should not be sold.

    I met Mr. RANDALL years ago, I really feel like he wanted to be in that shop working, You can tell he had a love for knives. And he spent time with a 17 year old with a passion for creating KNIVES. You have to know what design I copied for my knives when they were done.

    Some background. Her father was Lt Herman E Ernst. He flew P61 "Borrowed Time" with the 422nd night fighter squadron from July 1944 until the end of the war. He was one of only four P61 pilots in WW2 who reached "ace" status. He had 5 air victories against enemy aircraft plus he destroyed a V-1 flying bomb. Wonder where his knife is now?
