Every week we will have a different RMK model on which to focus. And hopefully, many knives shown and much knowledge gleaned.

Here we go!!!
Week one, Model 1

"By the first part of 1943, the Zacharias-Randall design had mutated into an early style of the All-Purpose Fighting Knife. This fighter, years later designated as Model 1, has been changed surprisingly little with the passage of time. Knives being made presently look much the same as their grandpappies of World
War II days. The name All-Purpose Fighting Knife was much too long for Bo's record book, so he shortened it to simply 'Fighter' and also used this name in correspondence with servicemen. The name stuck, and to this day his Model 1, with its distinctive semi-bowie blade, brass double hilt, leather washer handle, and aluminum butt cap is recognized the world over as 'The Randall Fighter'."
--from Randall Made Knives: The History of the Man and the Blades, by Robert L. Gaddis.

Lady and Gentleman, may we please see some Model 1's, and share some Randall knowledge.
