When the subject of edged weapons comes up, sooner or later, the name of the iconic florida knifemaker "Randall" will surely surface.
I got mine in the winter of 74 from a grizzled old SF E7 , 5th sfg., we were all thrown together at a small cluster of quansets at the south end of Bolio Lake, Ft Greely Alaska, the Armys Arctic test center.
When I bought it, as a wide eyed PFC, I had no idea about the Randall story. other than seeing those cool Green berets "sporting" them, I had no clue other than realizing it had to be special.
Seargent Schultz sold these knives as a side hustle, dont know how much he profited on each sale, but I vaguely remember paying about 100$ for it . The interesting thing was, he would put on a sales demonstration where he would hammer the knife tip through a silver dollar and then proceed to shave a swath of hair from his arm.. lol SOLD.
Later on in years after hearing stories about the Attack knifes, military service , I came to appreciate its place in history.
Im no expert , but in my opinion, its one of the best fix blade knifes made.... comments, opinions?
