I have owned many Randalls. Carried a Model 14 in Iraq 2008-2009. Read a comment below about the Blackjack being exactcopy of the Randall one. That is not true. The guard on the Blackjacks bottom part curves down to much and it digs into the meat between thumb and index finger. Randall does not

I agree the blackjack doesn’t have a false edge ether but it’s a decent knife if you want that General look

I have a question for you. I have a Randal 14. I notice it is a little too top heavy for my taste. It is a well made knife. But you can lose it when you need it most. My self I prefer a sub hilt knife with a slightly smaller blade. It is not as top heavy and the subhilt makes it harder to lose. How is the balance on that other knife?

With a shoulder holster like that, you still thread the belt through the loop, to keep it in place.

The knife part of the rig is a production assessory to the Shoulder rig but I'm not sure if it's still in production I got mine on clearance on la police gear but try looking it up you might find it. .

I think if you need a combat utility knife the Randal is better witch I will talk about in the review although I don't think it's the best fighting blade . But the blackjack is better for the money for if your going to hunt or camp with but its not the best for that use.

Oregon Native Except in humid and marine enviroments. Also a Randall is custom made and the blade is forged. Blackjack is barely semi custom and uses stock removal. Both are great knives, but the Randall has more soul to it.

Blackjack is an exact copy of the Randall 1. But the Randall will have a resale in 20 years of 10x what you paid. The Blackjack will be a great paper weight!

I wouldn't call the black jack an exact copy it close but the Randall has an false edge and the blackjack dosn't also the blackjack has an convex primary edge. But it's a pretty good facsimile if you want a randall type hunting knife for the lower price

Mine won’t be a paperweight because I actually use it. I actually think most Randall’s end up paperweights because people just want them to show off and collect. Not many people actually using them the way they are meant to.

But the A2 steel is alot better and i prefer a convex edge. And hidden tang knive can give you better balance. Forging does not make a knife stronger as someone said here.
@Hissatsu5
3 жыл бұрын
I agree a2 is generally better than a simple carbon steel and forged knives don’t always= better but people who do forge knives tend to have better heat treat over stock remover makers, not always but it’s more likely. The Randall didn’t wow me considering it’s price tag but I think once you get to the abs range of smiths the work put in to a basic blade will always out perform a factory/ stock removal blade

Good review. While the Blackjack is definitely good, the Randall is certainly better. Thank you for not making a ridiculous claim like "the Blackjack is better quality." That would be like stating a Honda Civic is better than a Lexus. Nothing wrong with the Blackjack, and it is the cheaper of the two, but it of course can't compare (quality-wise) to the Randall. One small correction; the Randall steel is 440B, not 440C (small point).

Some of the most expensive(mono steel) knives in the world are made of 5160,1095 and 01. Now you can safely say those steels are better then this stainless but all of those hi carbon steels are cheep blade of materials what you are paying for is the time it takes to forge the blades and with Randal you are also paying for the name also because it's such a small operation with a huge fan/collector base and when it comes to forgoing a stainless steel for a dive knife you don't have a lot of options.

No one actually uses their Randalls, just too damn expensive. They are somewhat over rated too. Blackjack is a good blade at a fair price.

john Mutton yes the big differences between the two are the Randahas a false edge and the bark river is convex ground . But the thing about randals is most of the time you can sell them and get your money back .
