How well is the construction of the Randall #18? I know Randall's are a well made knife, But meaning it is a Hollow handle knife and the weakness tag that most of them carry(excluding the Reeve Model's),Can it take the normal abuse of what a field knife could? I know This is Randall's survival Model. Any Info would be appreciated!
Thanks
 
I had one for a number of years, and carried it through some interesting days.

I ended up being not particularly fond of it (and the whole hollow-handle concept) for other reasons, but I can't fault it for not being sturdy. Randall has changed the method they use to secure the blade to the handle at least once over the years, but I'd be amazed if you can get it to fail at that junction with just your hands, no matter what you're doing with it.
