- Randall Model # 18 which was first introduced in 1963.
- This knife appears to have been carried and remains in great condition for it’s age. I’m guessing this is one of the first year production model 18’s.
- Blade – The carbon steel blade measure 7 9/16″ in length and has the very early blade grind and hand cut / uneven sawteeth. The blade has been sharpened and has the light typical carbon spotting and one very small “pit” in the middle of the logo side of the blade.
- Hilt – Is made of brass and measures 3 1/4″ in width.
- Handle – The hollow stainless handle measures 4 13/16″ in length and the tang comes 1/4″ to the end !
- Butt cap – The cap is correct for this period. It has the correct stamping on the exterior 20 over 1 and Franklin made in the USA on the inside.
- Sheath – Johnson splitback with large harness rivets at the mouth of the sheath.
- Hone – The sheath didn’t have one in it when I bought the knife. I should have a blue print Combination Crystolon.
- Full tang Model 18’s are one of the RAREST Randall Knives from this period and are impossible to find, definitely a center piece to any high end collection.
- Thanks for viewing !
