Payment Types Accepted: Personal Check, Money Order Description: For Your Consideration, Here's one of the most historically significant knife models that was ever made (just my opinion) This knife was made in Orlando Florida by Randall while we were still sending men to the moon with Apollo 15-16 and 17. W.D. Randall was approached by NASA in 1962 to design a knife that would be able to cut thru the skin of the shuttle in case of an emergency during splashdown. The rest is history. This knife was available as a regular catalog model starting in 1963 for civilian purchase. This is one of those examples. Early Astros are rarely seen. Book is included in purchase of knife.
