exclusive-life - Handcrafted knives by Bo Randall

		This fine reproduction of an 11" steel blade Smithsonian Bowie, which became famous in the 18th century, is handcrafted under the watchful eye of Bo's son, Gary. The style was made popular by the film "The Iron Mistress".
Bo Randall A coincidental meeting in 1937 at Lake Michigan between the legendary smith Bill Scagel and Bo Randall was responsible for the latter discovering his interest in knife making. Randall was so impressed by the balance, weight and proportions of "Old Bill's"" knives that his first knives were based on "Scagel's" models. Today, there is a broad palette to choose from, but anglers, hunters or trappers will find that they have to wait up to three years for their "Randall". Please also take a look at our Online-Shop and find some very exclusive accessories and distinctive works of table art. TOP		A typical characteristic of the "Bowie" - a straight knife - is the long, strong blade with a slightly curved reverse. The design of this knife is an exact reproduction of the Civil War Confederate Bowie Knife.
		The NASA commissioned Randall to create a robust knife for the first manned trip into space. The American astronauts were equipped with Astro to protect themselves against attacks while in space and also to help them to survive in hostile environments.
