Randall Made Knife Identification with pic

[Redmann45]

Trying to get info on what I believe to be a Vietnam era Randall Made knife.
6" blade, black micarta handle with lanyard hole and a compass in the butt. It has a half nickle guard with alternating red white red black red white red spacers. The sheith is a #6 with an SP-13 Bear soft Arkansas Pocket stone. Any information would be greatly appreciated.http://picasaweb.google.com/101901270284511453057/RecentlyUpdated?authkey=Gv1sRgCPnEqJWysun7Jg#

I am going to take a pretty good guess and say its a much newer Randall.

Looks like a Randall Model 5 with Micarta handle.

It could have been 10-15 years old when you bought it 19 years ago.

Looks like a model #5-6" to me in the Bradford Angier configuration - I'd venture to say it's a late 1960's model.

It's a beautiful knife and Still has original edge

 

[Redmann45]

It also has serations on the top rear of the blade

Sufler is right - that stone type was first used in the very late 1960's, probably 1969. The seven spacer configuration was discontinued for the most part by mid 1972. As stated, it's a Model #5-6 in the 'Bradford Angier' configuration...a cool older Randall knife :thumbup:

Thanks, I had it for years and always curious as to it's origins.
