Inspired by a request from CPT George W. Ingraham, a U.S. Army Medical Officer during the Vietnam War, the Model 18 is a survival/fighting knife featuring a hollow, tubular handle for the storage of critical survival items. This version features a 5.5-inch blade crafted from of .25-inch-thick stock. The saw teeth on the back of the blade are designed for cutting through aluminum to escape from a downed aircraft and are not intended for cutting wood. Its handle is constructed of 1-inch stainless steel tubing silver soldered to the blade tang and its .25-inch-thick oblong brass guard.  The butt end of the tubular handle is threaded to accept a knurled brass cap and O-ring that seal the storage compartment and keep it waterproof. One of Randall’s most iconic models, this remarkable knife comes complete with a handcrafted leather sheath.
