The really interesting part is this one is basically a Model #16, but with the Model #1 blade.

But this one isn't hollow ground like the #1 is and it's FULL 1/4" thick tang.....

It's a very serious knife made for some very hard work/use.

The design came from the Korean War days. They wanted a Model #16, but with the Fighter (#1) Blade, so it ended up as the #16 Special Fighter.

That's exactly why Randalls are the stuff of legends! They're built like tanks!

The #1, #16 Special Fighter and #14 are the ones that really made the legends during the wars, WW2, Korea and Vietnam.

Well, that's different for you. So used to seeing your several blades per day setup.

Hope you have good travels. :cool:
