Original U.S. Vietnam War Italian-Made Randall Model 2 Knife “Copy” with Leather Sheath

Original Item. Only One Available. Randall Made Knives, usually referred to as Randall, is an American custom handcrafted knife manufacturer founded by Walter Doane "Bo" Randall, Jr. in the U.S. The knife making shop and showroom is located in Orlando, Florida. Randall began making knives as a hobby in 1937. His son and grandson continue the family trade along with 20 craftsmen producing about 8,000 knives per year out of a shop on South Orange Blossom Trail.

This is a very interesting Italian-made “Copy” of the Randall Model 2 knife, originals of which sell for well over $1,500. This example was made around the 1960s and would have been a great private purchase fighting knife for U.S. Soldiers fighting in Vietnam.

The knife has a well-worn 8” blade with ITALY stamped at the ricasso. There is some scattered oxidation spotting near the tip. The overall length is 12⅝”.

The leather sheath has a diagonal securing strap just like the original Randall sheaths. It is marked with a stylized H on the back of the belt loop and a small snake at the front tip. A very interesting sheath!

A great 1960’s Italian Made Randall knife copy which could have seen use in the Vietnam War. Comes ready for display.
