Randall Knives - Model 17 Astro knife - PRIVATE COLLECTION - collector's knife
The Model 17 is a knife with a blade thickness of 5mm and a blade length of 14cm, featuring an attractive black micarta handle. This handle is fixed with removable stainless steel bolts, adding a touch of elegance and practicality. A unique feature of this knife is a slot in the sturdy tang and a corresponding hollow space inside the handle, designed to carry survival items such as matches, fishhooks, and fishing line.
Specifically designed for the seven astronauts of the Mercury Program, the Model 17 accompanied these pioneers on America's first manned space flights. Astronaut Gordon Cooper contributed to the final design of this knife, making it not just a survival tool but also a piece of history. Two examples of this knife, rich in historical value, are currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution.
The knife is in like-new condition, with a stainless steel blade, testifying to its quality and durability. This model is perfect for both space history enthusiasts and high-quality knife lovers.

The supplied knife differs from the civilian one only in the total lack of writing or logos on the blade.
HISTORICAL NOTES ON THE DEPARTMENT:
The 185th RAO of the ''Folgore'' is a department with an ancient tradition, but brand new. In fact, it was born on April 3, 2000 following the reconfiguration of the 185th parachute land artillery regiment. Based in Livorno, it is an atypical department of the Artillery weapon, currently inserted in the basin of the Special Forces.Entirely made up of volunteer personnel, the 185th RAO selects its components by passing a physical test and a qualification course on modules ''with increasing difficulty''. The tasks entrusted to the men of the RAO are many, but all very delicate: it is a matter of collecting information on enemy targets and 'passing' it on to one's command. More generally, we can speak of ''reconnaissance in sensitive areas''. ''It is therefore evident - they underlined to the Army - that the purchaser's activity takes place mainly in hostile territory, in small self-sufficient nuclei that act in isolation''.
The RAO paratroopers are specialists in ''infiltration and exfiltration'' techniques and are able to move around the operational area ''up to 8-10 days without external supplies''. They know how to ''evade capture, evade and escape from an area controlled by the enemy'' and, above all, how to ''identify, determine and evaluate objectives'' of strategic interest. Since 2002, the year of the reconfiguration, the detachments of the 185th Regiment have operated in all the hottest operating theatres: from the Balkans to Afghanistan and Iraq. Here they mainly carry out reconnaissance for medium and long-range information purposes and surveillance of the area of responsibility of the Italian contingent.

Particular knife developed with the help of experienced falconers and especially Horst Niesters in the early 1970s.
The blade was designed to chop up food for raptors and to intercept game brought back by raptors during hunting trips. In the center of the blade is a small semicircular notch that serves to signal to the falconer that the edge is sharp from the tip of the blade to that exact point; the rest of the blade is kept blunt to protect the raptors.
PUMA's falconer's knife is designed to be very handy and absolutely practical, making it a reliable companion for hunting prey.

Company History.
In 1938, Rudy Ruana began making knives in a small store in Montana. Members of his family continue to this day to handcraft Ruana knives in the same store. In 1964 Ruana's son-in-law, Vic Hangas, left a job with a telephone company and put his artistic talents to good use, joining Ruana in the business. Hangas' son Mark began working in the business in 1976. In 1983, Ruana retired at the age of 80 and sold the business to the Hangas family. In 1984 Mike Hangas joined his brother and father and the company was incorporated. Rudy Ruana died in April 1986. He was honored with posthumous induction into the American Bladesmith Society's Hall of Fame in 1997 and Blade magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2002.
Ruana knives are still handmade in the small Montana store where Rudy Ruana began forging blades more than 80 years ago. In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana knives are still handmade in the United States, with a focus on quality rather than quantity. Although some things have changed over the years, still using the same methods and much of the same equipment used by Rudy Ruana.AP-RUAST -

History of the Model
The Model 7 was designed as a scaled-down version of the Model 3 Hunter.
Almost immediately, the idea of a scaled-down version of the new Hunter dawned on Bo Randall as an ideal knife for his fellow anglers. An avid fisherman since his youth, Bo regarded this new knife as a labor of love and immediately set to work on the project. At first he tried 4- and 4.5-inch blades, but then opted for the 4 1/2-inch one. Bo wanted the right handle for cleaning brook trout and similar sized fish, so he reduced the size of the handle of the new Hunter and changed its shape. Naturally, he called this model the "Fisherman," and some early prototypes with 4-inch blades were delivered to some dealers during the latter part of September 1945.AP-RAND7-4V -
