Randall® Model 1 Fighter with Leather Handle
Item #: RA-M1L7
$625.00
The Randall Model 1 Fighter was one of the first models produced in the Randall Shop in Orlando. A Model 1, made by Bo Randall, served as the prototype for the Springfield Randall that was manufactured by Northampton Cutlery Company near Springfield, Massachusetts in 1943 and 1944. The Randall Model 1 became one of the favored fighting knives of WWII and continues to be one of their most popular. It has been copied by most handmade knifemakers at some point in their career, and sometimes by knife manufacturers as well.
Over the years, we have stocked several versions of the Model 1 with O-1 high carbon steel and with stainless steel. On our web site, you will find knives with handles of desert ironwood, India stag, black Micarta® and leather.
These two knives have an O-1 high carbon blade, stacked leather handle, brass hilt, and duralumin butt cap. Each includes a model A leather sheath with sharpening stone.
(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.
