Randall Model 4 Skinner – Desert Ironwood

Description

In September of 1939, W.D. Randall began stamping his knives with the same mark you see on them today. Being a fine knifemaker, a great businessman, and a master in the art of self-promotion helped W. D. Randall to become the best-known maker of handmade knives in the world.

The Model 4 Skinner has a 4-1/2″ upswept skinning blade of 3/16″ O-1 tool steel at 55-56 Rc. Handle is Desert Ironwood, with a nickel silver hilt and black and aluminum spacers. The blade has lots of belly for skinning game, in fact more than most of their other skinners. Measures 8-7⁄8″ overall. Weighs 4.5 oz. Wrist thong. Leather sheath. This is still one of Randall’s most popular models.

Due to Randall’s high volume of orders, if A.G. Russell Knives does not have this knife ordered delivery is currently taking about 10 months. If ordered directly from Randall the wait is currently about 6 years.
