Interesting that Bo Randall was trying to get these 2 models into the military as official equipment. I'm sure it was disappointing,. But as we know, just a few years later, he had an impact on the space program with the Astro, derived from the m15. Great story.
Jack, your theory about Bo's commercial desires on these 2 knives is probably right too. How long would it have been though before these knives ceased to resemble Randall knives, what with budget and manufacturing concerns. Bo would have gotten his royalties, but what would those knives have looked like, in say, 10 years?
Regards, Sam
