I was going to title this, for your viewing enjoyment, but let's face it. I bought it for ME, and I just want to show it off.
I've gone back and forth for years over getting one of these. During the Viet Nam era, Randalls, and this model in particular were almost the holy grail of knives. They were expensive and made in limited numbers, so those who had them were envied. |
I, also, have a Chris Reeve One Piece Knife. Mines the Aviator model. With the 5.5" blade (this seems to be my favorite blade length) it's much lighter and handles better than the bigger models.
I picked up the Aviator years ago instead of spending more for the Randall. Now I have both, which one to use, which one to use? |

Details for us young folks please. Randall 18 Attack There's one on eBay right now for $675.00. Beautiful knife! If that's what they are asking, it's over priced. If that's what folks are bidding, they're idiots. You can go to the Randall web site as see what they sell them for. |

For those who do not know, those are older Randalls on the left and newer Randalls on the right. |

Not quite KYVENOM-
Top left is a Busse Team Gemini Top right is a Model 18 Bottom left is an older Model 14 Bottom right is a Treeman custom I had Jim Behring make for me. good eye HarryStone- Behring makes awesome Scagel styles, and if you get it directly from him, you don't pay a crazy premium. I got this years ago and it was quite reasonable with about a two week wait. I specified what I wanted, and couldn't be happier. It also has a compass mounted in the butt. And for those that are wondering, I've used them all.
