Default New Knife

Stock photo from the dealer website, I got it yesterday. I don't have the patience to wait 5 years ordering direct from Randall, so I buy from an authorized dealer here in SOCAL. Nox actually knows these guys, Nordic Knives.

Randall Model 18 Attack/Survival, my 2nd Randall Knife.

Congrats.. Nordic Knives in Solvang is a solid company and they have one of the best Randall selections on the West Coast. I don’t actually have any Randall knives, but I sure wouldn’t mind getting one.

The Randall Model 18 did serve as the inspiration for the Rambo Knife, however the knife was originally developed by Randall for Aviators and Special Forces/Operations in Vietnam. The movie knife was not a Randall.

The fixed blade knife I usually carry is a Winkler NSW knife (top) or a Winkler Belt knife (below). These are smaller than your Randall, but balance quite well.

I also picked up a Burt Foster, Combat No. 4, but I haven’t had the opportunity to carry it yet.
