Do all of our astronauts have A Randall Astro knife?

Pap

I do not think any of the current ones do. Just my thoughts though.

I have a question about a the model 15: does anyone knows if it can be possible to ask for a 4,5 or 5" size blade instead of the standard 5,5"? The reason is that I would like a full tang randall and the model Sergeant doesn't exist with a full tang. Regards

have you looked at the Fireman Special it has a 4 1/4 inch full tang blade

The answer is a firm "NO". If you order a Sgt with a micarta handle and a butt cap, you automatically get a full tang...it's simply reduced to allow the material to "sleeve" over it...but it's "Hey-Now" plenty strong!

PS: There also a "CC/FT" in the non-catalog offerings...CCS

In addition to the Fireman mentioned above, there's also the Combat Companion Full Tang at 5".

Neither of these have the "14 grind", however.

I already have the Fireman. I love the knife but he doesn't have the specifications of the 15 (that I also have). I find the companion a bit too fighter. But I will think about it. Thanks for the info. Regards

I forgot about the model 28 Woodsman but that is 3/16 stock

Knife Knuts like us often imagine "something different."

I do too...but think there is no single "ideal" knife.

If it came to be, thinking it would be absolutely comfortable to carry, take up no noticeable space, always be with me, cut or pry anything I wanted no matter what that might be, almost never need to be sharpened, and never have the metallurgy or the construction fail under whatever abuse I put it through.

I think most of us like to "tinker" with design ideas, but also that RMK makes so many versions that "something" there will pretty well match up with those ideas.

Keeps thing interesting...that is part of the reason knife making and collecting has flourished in the past 60 or so years.
