Model 1 is the WW 2 model. Model 14 came out during the Korean war. The Model 14 was extremely popular during Vietnam. I've got two model 14 's one i use, so it's not a safe queen. The other one was my Dad's.✌️✌️🗡️🗡️🔱⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲
there were other models in wwii, I know the model 2 was popular at the time. And in the early ww2 knives, there's countless variations of the different models.
I really can't see paying that for any steel. End of the day they all do nothing but cut. Myself I'd rather keep the 659 and still have a decent knife that I've known how to sharpen since I was 12 or 14
Got my Model 14 brand new in a few days. Many companies place multiple orders for standard models and then sell those for pretty much MSRP, a bit above.
Just FYI Randall #14 model sells today for around $900. Straps on the case are for the sheath. Knife sits inside the case without the sheath. Because leather sheath WILL stain even stainless.
You should look into knives more before making comments about them. The 7" blade is because the knife is incapable of reaching all targets on the human body if not at least 7" long. I know. Owning a Randall knife is not a collector statement, it is a statement that I value my life and intend to protect it!!!
Should give a disclaimer before singing praises about how great Randall is. Given modern grip materials and modern steels the Randall's are a poor choice to stake your life on.
@@Robertbreaker3 well if it was for a zombie apocalypse I would focus on getting good with an OKC brand AR bayonet. Whether that is an OKC brand M9 model bayonet or an OKC brand USMC issue bowie model bayonet depends on whether or not I expected more utilitarian use or expected more stabbing self defense use... but either way it would definitely be an Ontario. I am sold on Ontario's awesome carbon steel. I am wholly against carrying more than one combat utility knife into the field, just because of weight on my back. So for a zombie apocalypse if it's not a bayonet, that sheath knife won't even get a second look from me. Which ever combat/utility bayonet I bring will be secondary to my Ontario machete. In fact, if zombie combat wasn't expected, my long thick heavy duty Ontario machete and a mill bastard file would be all I'd need to be able to walk off into the swamp and never look back. It can clear any trail and build any shelter with ease, with no compromising on chopping power. For everyday carry I prefer a rubber grip on a 5-6 inch blade with a thick spine. The Ontario Spec Plus lineup is good, so is Cold Steel. Here lately I've been enjoying a Gerber LMF 2 on the river and offshore as a utility/dive knife, and thinking about putting my SOG Tiger Shark into action as a utility/dive knife, if I can find somebody to build a custom kydex sheath for me. Both have very grippy grips and a sheath built for retention without needing a snap, for a fast draw. I want a similar sheath design for my Tiger Shark, but with a slimmer profile, while saving the original sheath for posterity
I carry one everyday. Cute little thing, four and a half inch blade Denmark Special. Peels apples, slices sandwiches, guts fish. It's also cut steel banding, pried apart shipping crates, broken down pallets, scraped off gaskets, and his deburred cast-iron carbon steel and stainless parts. Even pryed off an intake manifold on a 350 Chevy. I'm a field mechanic industrial equipment all of my tools get used sometimes for the wrong. The technology may be a little old but make no mistake they're meant to use.
In a zombie apocalypse I would use whatever frikn knife I had. Unless you live in a state where you can carry large fixed blades or any type of blades you want, chances are you will be stuck with a folder if you are lucky enough to even carry a knife at all. ✌️✌️🔱⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲

How can someone justify $750 for a knife and not even tell you the steel that is used?

The model #14 was never used in WW2
Have you tried collaborating with any knife manufacturers?
Randall model 1, 2 and 3 were used in ww2.
Model 14 came out in 1954, after WW2 and Korea.
14 was used in Vietnam.
It's for the sheath.
To keep the sheath on the outside of the case and to store the knife in the case out of the sheath!
Discount code!!!
God bless.

Yeah, but they sure are cool! : ) But, please, do tell. What would YOU USE for the end of the world, zombie apocalypse tool?

Them randall knives are crazy expensive! Who can afford that?
They aren't that expensive, your average handgun is around the same price. If people can afford guns then you can too
@@a.N..... Exactly. I bought my first Randall at age 21.
Why does it take fives years?
Waiting list I'm assuming
1. Big demand. 2. No one wants to learn to make Randall knives, so low manpower
An investment 3 to 5% each year unless you garage sale shop and find them routinely and pay $50.
Are these knifes durable?
