Took Delivery On This Blackjack Today - 07/14/17
It's their homage to the Randall Model 1. Excellent knife. This one has a black micarta handle.
I've had two other Blackjacks for thirty years or so. Their manufacturing plant was at a different location then, but were known to be excellent at that time, too.
It's now one of my favorite knives. I just love the way it feels in the hand. The handle is more hand-filling than those on my real Randall Model 1. Super sharp convex edge from the factory, but a few swipes with the compound loaded strop and it flies through paper like it's not there.
