Randall Model 16 Special Fighter
Item #: RA-M16SP
$625.00
with Black Micarta Finger Grip Handle
Bo Randall made his first knife in the late 1930s, and by World War II, Randall Knives were the best known handmade knives in the world. That level of recognition has not diminished in the sixty some years since. Gary Randall, the present owner took over from his father W.D. "Bo" Randall in the mid 1970s. These are the best known and most noted handmade knives in the world. They have been mentioned in both novels and in histories. No two Randall Made knives are exactly alike, for no jigs or patterns are used in their final construction. Large scale commercial production with this kind of attention to detail is not feasible and that's why knives of this unique quality are not widely available.
This is a serious knife with a 7" blade of 1/4" stainless steel at 55-56 Rc. Measures 11-1/2" tip to butt and weighs 14.0 oz. Includes a fine leather model A sheath with stone pouch on the front. No one includes a higher quality sheath with their knives than Randall. Handmade in the U. S. A.
(8-2024) Due to Randall's high volume of orders, if not on our shelves when you order, delivery of Randall knives ordered from A. G. Russell is currently taking 10-12 months. If ordered directly from Randall the wait is currently about 6 years.

Randall Made Knives
For over 75 years, Randall knives have been the best-known handmade knives in the world. No two Randall Made™ knives are exactly alike, for no jigs or patterns are used in their final construction. Large-scale commercial production with this kind of attention to detail is not feasible and that's why knives of this unique quality are not widely available.
Gary Randall, the present owner, took over from his father, W. D. "Bo" Randall, in the mid 1970's and the shop remains so busy that today it takes over five years to get a knife directly from them. We are one of the few authorized Randall dealers, and try to keep a stock of their knives. Because our orders with Randall are booked years in advance, if we don't have the knife that you want in stock, we can usually have it for you about 10 months, knives with stag will take a year or more. For anyone wanting to order directly from Randall the price will be lower but the wait will be extremely long.
