Here is another NASA training Astro that surfaced a few years back.

I would also like to interject a point made by Joe Dorsky some time back that these knives were ordered for survival training.
Joes comment about the following photo:
" I don't know if this is one of the actual knives delivered to NASA for survival training, but may be one made available to support staff, NASA officials, and/or those in some way affiliated with the program in some fashion."

So to be clear, they were ordered for training, but as we know, some wound up in Staff, and other officials hands. We also know that one rode up in space with Gus Grissoms as well.

Hopefully more of these Randalls will surface. Perhaps even the original Astros that belonged to the astronauts. We know where one of them reside, in the Randall Knife Museum in Orlando FL that belonged to Major Gordon Cooper.

The knife that Joe commented about above
