What Are Randall Style Knives?

When people talk about Randall style knives, they mean hunting or Bowie knives inspired by the iconic American Randall Made Knives. These knives are famous for:

  • Stacked leather handles that give a classic grip.

  • Carbon steel blades with excellent edge retention.

  • Balance and durability trusted by outdoorsmen and collectors.

Randall style knives are more than just tools; they are a piece of knife-making history.

The Biggest Challenge with Original Randall Knives

One of the major issues collectors face with original Randall knives is availability.

  • Due to extremely high demand and limited production, buyers often face wait times of up to 5 years when ordering directly from Randall.

  • This makes owning an original a dream for many, but also impractical for those who want to use or collect such knives without waiting for years.

  • Prices are also significantly higher, making them out of reach for many enthusiasts.
