Handmade Knives of Randall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Randall Made Knives, usually referred to as Randall, is an American manufacturer specializing in custom handcrafted knives or handmade knives and other edged tools. Randall hand forges nearly all models of knives instead of factory stamping.

“Bo” Randall founded the company in 1938 after making knives for several years as a hobby.[1] Although “Bo” Randall originally designed his knives for sporting use and sold them at sporting goods stores, customers from the military initially provided his biggest boost in business and launched his company nationally. In the early 1940s, Randall knives significantly increased in popularity after receiving good publicity during WW II. Several noted war heroes and GIs on all fronts carried Randall knives with them into major battles.Air Force Captain Ronald Reagan, future U.S. President also owned a Randall knife in WW II.
