Blackjack Knives?

[Albin]

I have one Blackjack; I bought it very lightly used from someone over on BCUSA a couple years ago. It reminds me very much of my RMK #5-5 that was stolen summer 1980.

With some it's stable mates:

BTW: Who is Matt?

Matt (Charlie Mike) Freeman. A truly unique and interesting dude. He is missed for sure.

I got this #1-7 blackjack at a pawn shop , has a nice convex edge

That's the cool thing about the Blackjack knives, they don't just straight forward copy the Randall Made knives. I mean, yes, most of them are obviously based on Randall Made knives, but they add their own flair to make it their own.
Yup, while Blackjack knives pay homage to the Randall knife designs, their convexed blades make them a different animal.

I made sure to add one of each into my eclectic collection, both worthy of representing American made fixed blade knives

UPDATE: I ended up not getting the Blackjack model 14. It seems they were sold out and never bothered to update the site. Ended up getting a Bark River 1909 Michigan Bowie for $300. 1/4 inch A2 steel with a 10” blade sounds good in my book. It’ll be a good replacement for the Cold Steel Trailmaster and Fallkniven Thor I sold a whole back.

Mike Stewart knows his heat treat. He's been making knives in A2 for a long time.
