    That’s a piece of knife making art. Gorgeous.

    Randall's are nice knives. They were one of the few inspirations to a young knifemaker when I started making knives 30 years ago (back before the days of the internet in every home). I used O1 on many knives due to him. The other influential guys in my life were Bob Loveless, Bill Moran, David Boye, Mike Mann and Mike Igo. Of these, I think that David Boye, Mike Mann and Mike Igo are still alive and making knives. Sadly, I don't have any of their knives.

    A Randall Model 15 knife is a 5 1/2" blade of 1/4" stock designed for air crew survival in cooperation with U.S. Marine Corps standards. It is an exceptional tool.
