About Randall Made Knives

The story of Randall Made Knives didn't begin in a boardroom or a high-tech factory, but rather on the banks of a Michigan lake in 1936. That was where Bo Randall first witnessed a handmade knife being used to scrape a boat, a moment that sparked an obsession with creating a blade that was completely solid, durable, and reliable. By 1938, that spark had turned into a reality in Orlando, Florida. Bo set up shop with a simple, unyielding standard to handcraft the finest knives possible, refusing from the very first day to cut corners or compromise on quality.

What began as one man's dedication soon grew into a profound family legacy. For generations, the Randall family has kept the anvil hot and the grinding wheels turning. Bo eventually passed the torch to his son, Gary, and the family tradition continues to thrive in the very same Orlando workshop. Every single knife that leaves the shop carries with it decades of accumulated knowledge, passed down through hands that know the precise weight, balance, and edge of a truly exceptional tool. It is a testament to the enduring power of American craftsmanship and the bond of a family dedicated to a singular, honest craft.

Over the decades, these knives have quietly become a part of American history. They have been carried into the deepest wilderness by hunters and outdoorsmen, relied upon by everyday citizens, and trusted by American military members on the battlefields of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and beyond. People choose a Randall because they know it is built for the moments when failure is not an option.
