Randall Model #17-5 1/2 inch- ASTRO Model!
6 per year. That's it! The Model #17-5 1/2 inch (Astro) is one of most the difficult knives that Randall makes. Unique blade shape, stainless steel blade...'& double hilt'and a specialized handle all add up to a hard and timely knife to make.
With the Randall shop's current backlog, I only order a handful each and every year so as not to 'slow-'em-down' too much! I hope you understand. Designed by Bo Randall and astronaut, Gordon Cooper, this knife was made for The Mercury Mission space program...('We Seven')! It is totally unique and has seen little to no design and blade changes since it's inception!
Here's the particulars below:
Thanks and Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris
