Randall Knives - Model 1-7 - Micarta Finger Grooves - Private
The Randall Model 1 Fighter was one of the first models produced in Randall's Orlando workshop. A Model 1, personally made by Bo Randall, served as the prototype for the Springfield Randall, produced by the Northampton Cutlery Company near Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1943 and 1944 for issue to American military personnel.
Since World War II, Randall knives have been among the world's best-known handmade knives and are still produced in the family-run Orlando workshop, much in the same way Bo made his knives in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The company has been managed by Bo's son Gary since 1970, currently joined by his sons Jason and Michael.

On December 9, 1942, during World War II, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard-issue weapon. In cooperation with the Marine Quartermaster Department, the design was revised and production of an improved fighting and utility knife began.
During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives became so recognized for quality and widespread use that “KABAR” became a common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Underwater Demolition Teams. In later years, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2019, KA-BAR joined Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt wanted a “KA-BAR” with improved strength, durability and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel as meeting these requirements.
CPM MagnaCut® is a high-carbon powder metallurgy steel produced by Crucible Industries and specifically designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment and PVD coatings.

Notes: the Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coated blade, when inserted into and removed from the leather sheath, may show streaks or marks due to the dye used for the sheath. The blade can be cleaned with petroleum or acetone, re-oiled (for example with WD40 or light mechanical oil) and dried with a clean cloth to restore the original coating finish.SB-54DEBKLTBK-CP€380.00Only 0 leftOnly 0 left
