Randall Fighting Knife – Model 1

The Randall Model 1 All-Purpose Fighting Knife is one of the most recognizable American combat knives ever made.

First introduced by Bo Randall in the early 1940s, the knife quickly earned a reputation for strength, balance, and reliability. Produced by Randall Made Knives, the Model 1 features a classic clip-point blade, stacked leather handle, and sturdy brass guard. Its clean, practical design made it equally useful as a fighting knife and a field tool, which helped establish the Model 1 as the foundation of the Randall knife lineup.

The Randall Model 1 Fighting Knife became especially important during World War II, when American servicemen sought dependable knives before deploying overseas. Many soldiers purchased these knives after hearing about their performance in combat. Because production was limited during the war years, original WWII-era Model 1 knives are highly valued today by collectors.
