Rhett...and all other Randall knife freaks out there:
For those purest who believe that a "true" fighter needs to look like a bowie knife....AND...For those folks who are in love with the upgrades and designs of Bo's "Vietnam" fighters, there is a compromise offered by the Randall shop. It is known as the "BCP". This ordering option, meaning "bowie clip point", is available on the Model #14-7 1/2", "Attack" and the Model #15-5 1/2", "Airman"! What you get when ordering this option is a true Bowie clip point, versus the standard "straight" clip point normally associated with these 2 fine knives.
It makes for a unique collaboration of old and new. A full, exposed, tang extremely durable fighting tool, with the old bowie "shape". No strength is sacrificed and the results is very pleasing to the eye. You cannot order the "BCP" option with the sawteeth installed, but you "can" order it with either stainless steel or carbon steel. You can get 4 finger grip, single finger grip or border patrol styled grip. Also: Brass or nickel silver double hilts in standard 1/4" straight configuration or forward curved, as well as the Model #1 (lighter) style of double hilt! On top of this, black micarta or green linen micarta are both available from the Randall shop. A wrist thong is still standard as is a model "C" sheath. The sheath can be ordered in tan, black or waxed and with or without the hone pocket.
All in all, the "BCP" makes for a very way-cool Randall and due to it's relative obscurity, a more scarce piece. I hope this answers your question. Any more questions? Just post 'em up! Best, Capt. Chris
