Hi Ron!
What a great idea to start this "Model of the Week" series here on the Knife Network. And what better way to start than to let us see your classic 1943 fighter made by Bo Randall himself!
Thanks Cap for the historical background of the design.
Great looking #1s Tuner and Wideglide!
Well, I finally obtained my first Model #1-7" at the Blade Show (sorry, you still have to wait for yours Gary). It was fresh from the Randall shop (vintage May 2005).
I'm really impressed with how perfectly balanced the knife is. I also really like the look of the Ironwood handle, along with the nickle silver hilt and butt cap.
Let's see some more of these great "fighting knives", both old and young.
Cheers!
David
