I had never really had the itch to add a Springfield Fighter to my collection. Many I have seen are either well worn, or are later production knives that lacked the quality deserving of the Randall trademark. Until now....

I believe this knife is early Larson production. Mosser sheath with staples instead of rivets. The seller said his Father bought it then stored it in the basement for years. It's never been carried, but his Father must have sharpened it....both the stone and the blade show light marks. The sheath is in excellent condition.

The blade was wrapped in a waxy brown paper and inserted in the sheath. I don't know if that's how Larson shipped them.... but it sure helped preseve the blade. No rust....no pitting.

Here's one I dug up out of the "Bottom" of one of my safes. Pretty-much an old (for me) "tricked-out" Model #2-6". Quite a few unique features. Hope this isn't considered too "new" for you folks.
Best, Capt. Chris

The first batch are all the photos I took of the "leather", including 2 with the knife. These are special features and knife "only"...Enjoy!
Best, Capt. Chris

WOW...that is old for you Cap. Is that handle as flat as it looks in the pictures? What's the material?

I had a time getting the photos to load. Yes: It's a "slab-sided", Center-cut, Elephant ivory, 7 spacer, seperate "S" Model #2-6". One of the most unique fighters (or any other kind of Randall) I own. The knife, which I've had for a few years, is absolutely pristine. No checks or cracks..."yet"!
Best, Capt. Chris
