@@snowman7161 I passed on an Ed Henry hollow handle survival knife about 20 years ago. I believe that he only made one. ($850 at the time.) I bought a "Kick Me" sign instead.
This is epic joe, congratulations my friend. Some guy’s wait a lifetime to have a Randell knife. Couldn’t go to a better person. Outstanding brother what a beautiful piece to add to your collection. Just awesome. So proud for you my friend
@@JoeDoomsday Same here! 😂 I was lucky enough to purchase one of Dave Beck’s last custom WSK/Saranac knife combos and that’s my grail set to date. Still, a Randall would be amazing!
I have the 5.5 tool steel version, I wrapped fishline around the handle then paracord over that. The extra cord on the sheath is so if you thread it through the extra holes it becomes jump safe for parachuting. I also removed the stone and put a leatherman micro in there, fits perfectly. The only downside I have found with it is that if you need to baton wood the teeth rip the hell out of your hammer stick. Oh, make sure you treat the leather sheath with wax or similar.
A box would need a much larger postal box. I ptefer the model 14 with the same blade. I don't need a hollow handle. But this model can be attached to a spear handle accessory. The # 14 attack has a full tang through the handle for strength. The teeth clog on metal. The diver knife also has a similar blade grind in stainless and gteat balance. Neither are really pointcentric. Designed to slash.
@@thomasesau2376 ,… way too expensive, to Not have a nice box or carrying case. Knives half the price come with beautiful cases. Like Fallkniven MB for instance. These are still fantastic blades. 👍🏻🔪
@@thomasesau2376 ,… the butcher paper is fine to prevent tarnishing. But I paid well over $1000. USD for mine,… I don’t want it traveling around the country in the mail protected by butcher paper and a cardboard box. It’s ridiculous. They should come in a padded, plastic case for that kind of money. There is No good excuse to ship a knife that expensive in butcher paper and a budget cardboard postal box. I can’t wrap my head around it.
Thanx. It is an excellent knife, I’m really happy to have one. We were all novice/amateur knife guys at one point, just research all the info You can find, for any knife that you are interested in, and in no time, You will know as much as any of us guys who have been doing this for years. 👍🏻
I'll stick with the Harbor Freight knife for nostalgia, lol. The very least you could have done is say where you got the survival kit tube. Would appreciate.
Harbor freight. That’s hilarious. These knives are extremely well made. They are silver soldered and epoxy welded to the handle. Razor sharp. Heavy duty. As far as 440a steel, Randall has been making these since Vietnam war era. They have perfected the heat treatment. I’d rather have a “cheaper” steel prepared properly than a supposed super steel that was cranked out in mass production at a dump factory by unhappy, under paid employees, any day. This knife can keep important items dry inside the handle. It can become a spear head. These knives were loved by soldiers. I agree that most full-tang knives are the way to go but,… I’d feel just fine if I had this as my only knife. I’d just use it wisely. Watch my other hollow handle knife videos. You will see which hollow handle survival knife that, That survival tube came from.
Hardly a practical trade-off to have a hollow handle and a significantly weaker knife. There's nothing you can put in the handle that can't be better put elsewhere, and lack of a tang seriously compromises reliability. Bit too fantasy "Rambo" for me. Especially given the outmoded steels (440A), it's hard to justify a Randall except as a collector item and wall-hanger.
It is only "weak" if it is cheap. The problem is that people are measuring these against shoddty cheap hollow handled copies. The other thing is that people that never used knives have this romantic notion of tanks driving over knives and troops using them to dig through solid concrete walls and are also fuelled by hockey masked retards abusing knives in their backyard. A lot of people think that "full tang" is the only way to go, completely oblivious to the fact that if a full tang knife is not designed and built and heat treated correctly it can break with one missplaced strike. Buy a good knife and it really does not matter what type of tang it has.
@@docpearson ,… my first thought when I was holding this knife was “Bone Saw” its definitely sharp enough to cut bone and it doesn’t look like a typical wood saw blade,… although I’m sure it could do some good notches for tent stakes or traps.
Use your beautiful Randall bro! You are suppose to use it before the world ends. Because, you won't be using it when the world ends! You get it? You won't be using anything then. Lol!
I don’t want to dull it and weaken it before I need it. Just like storing survival food,… I don’t want to eat it before I need it. Plus this knife is so expensive. If I could afford 2 or 3 of them,… then I definitely would use one of them now. 😝

I too picked up a Randall Pilot knife on eBay. Couldn’t wait 6 years.
Gorgeous grail knife. The sheath is a work of art as well.
@@pinkiewerewolf ,… Yes. It really is stunning in person. If I was wealthy, I’d buy several of these knives. 👍🏻🔪

I wasn’t waiting 5 years either, and purchased one from the same eBay seller last night!
@@steveswain2850 ,… I have trouble waiting 5 months. 5 years? Crazy talk. 😆. - Congratulations on your New Randall Knife. 🎉🎊🍾 🔪
Because I live in the Orlando area I have accumulated 5 Model 14s . Some have the brown sheath while others have a black sheath.
@@stephenmartin9393 ,… NICE. 👍🏻 🔪
I love this knife, Joe! This and my Model 14, are my two Number 1 knifes!
Very nice, my favorite Randall.

Joe Doomsday and a good collectors piece with a legendary name in a Randell Made .😊
I have that same one . Did a video on all of them today.

@@JoeDoomsday they are stored in butcher paper to keep from tarnishing. I own 12 Randals. I deploy with a Morseth and or a Gerber.

Hi Joe, could you please tell me the diameter of the handle? Thank you
Hello. It measures exactly 1 inch in diameter.
Thank you
Beautiful, enjoy
Thanx. 👍🏻👍🏻
It’s even scary to think how much this newspaper bundle costs. But it's worth every penny, and that fact
Yes it is Expensive and Yes it is worth every penny. 👍🏻👍🏻. Thanx for watching & commenting I appreciate it.
Love it
Congrats joe

@@JoeDoomsday Agreed. Knives aren't for prying in the first place.
The sheath alone was probably $150 😳
Ya probably. The sheath & the Knife are both, works of art. Beautiful craftsmanship. 🔪👍🏻. For me,… this was a once in a lifetime purchase.
@@JoeDoomsday oh yea dude. I’m not at a place where I could even think about getting one. Truly a thing of beauty!
Wow 😮
