Some background. Her father was Lt Herman E Ernst. He flew P61 "Borrowed Time" with the 422nd night fighter squadron from July 1944 until the end of the war. He was one of only four P61 pilots in WW2 who reached "ace" status. He had 5 air victories against enemy aircraft plus he destroyed a V-1 flying bomb. Wonder where his knife is now?

Randall is right up there at the top of the wish list for most knife guys. I read or heard just recently (I think Hickock 45, maybe) that the waiting list is 7 years. To have one from Korea or Vietnam is a treasure. To have your father's from WWII is a priceless heirloom and should not be sold.

1941 is when the U.S. entered WWII, the knife cost $15.00 back then according to the expert. In today's money that equates to $267.00. You can't touch a new Randall model 1 today unless you're paying $550.00 or more.

I don't believe the Springfield Randall's were technically made by Randall. A man named W.F. Larsen struck a deal with Bo Randall to essentially copy their knife and put the Randall name on it. They were actually made in Northampton, MA, which is around 20 minutes away from Springfield, but stamped SPFLD. Mass.
