Description

RARE CUSTOM COMBAT KNIFE LOCKNIFE
This interesting knife was made in the seventies by the Locknife Co. and resembles a Randall Model #14. Its blade length is 7" and its overall length is 12". Most notable are the little attention of details. First, the black micarta handle is slimmer and more contoured than a Randall. Second, instead of a keeper strap, a snap at the pommel secures the handle to the sheath. Third, the sheath is fully fiber-lined to afford better protection, perhaps during jumps or air/sea insertions. Fourth, the stone is longer, wider and is attached to the back of the sheath to prevent loss while providing a better profile for grunts. Finally, the guard and pommel are stainless steel. In fact, it appears that lessons learned from the field were incorporated in its design. It is marked "LOCKNIFE, INC, INDEP. MO." on one side of the ricasso and "700, MADE IN U.S.A." on the other side. The pommel and sheath are marked "U.S. Patent" with the latter also marked "700." It is in very good, unused condition with minor fine scratches and tiny pit marks on the blade. The winner will also receive a copy of the Locknife Co. brochure (note that this model is not listed in the brochure). Several stag handle, single brass hilt Locknife hunters were offered for sale at the Tulsa Gun Show for over 00 each. For more information, please refer to the Locknife articles by MR Reisberg which appeared in the October 2005 and August 2006 issues of Knife World publication. A copy of the articles will be included with the knife.
