Understandably the Blackjack's can't be custom ordered, and lack the prestige, but are they just as tough?

Father's day is coming and I'm not sure if I want a G20 or something nice and sharp.

Blackjacks are ok.  But they don't have the panache of a Randall.

I was about to comment that while a Blackjack for $300 is a nice knife, its not much of a stretch to get the real thing as i thought there were many re-sellers who have pretty good stocks of them'

(mine for comparison  1-8 stag )




I was wrong -- when i did a quick search to see what mine would cost in todays dollars i was astounded    --     So buy a Blackjack if you want a field tool to use right away i guess
   But OTOH, i post a little bit in the watch forums here - there are guys who would gladly fork over 12, 15 even 20k for a Rolex Sub or GMT too.

With the exception of the Model 18 Attack Survival I showed all of my Randalls are working knives.  It's sad that so many take a very, very good piece of equipment and because of it's price stick it in a drawer and never use it.

Don't have to wait on a blackjack.
  Took almost three years to get the two Randall's after I ordered them.....
And yes the Blackjacks will hold up..

Interesting bit of history. Most know that BRKT makes many of Blackjack's knives (or did). They also made their own "Mamba", the BRKT "Evolution 1". I picked one up and the BRKT owner later said that they wouldn't make them anymore due to the difficulty and safety concerns of sharpening them.  Excellent design though!





Blackjack blades are users. Keep your Randall in the gun safe and use your Blackjack in the field

When did BRKT stop making Blackjacks?  I have several of both and they are all great knives.

They haven't, but not all Blackjack knives are or were made by BRKT...some were made in Taiwan if I recall correctly (not their flagship models).

Beautiful blade! I have one similar with black scales and border patrol profile. I love the saw/no saw profile. I'm waiting on 2 more Randalls.
