Randall Model 4 – 4 1/2″ Small Game Skinner w/ Thuya Handle and Brass Hilt
The Randall Model 4 – 4 1/2” Small Game Skinner is a finely crafted knife designed specifically for skinning small game. This model features a blade length of 4.5 inches, made from durable 3/16” O-1 tool steel stock, which provides excellent edge retention and sharpness for skinning tasks.
Blade Design
The blade of the Model 4 is characterized by its upswept design, which enhances its effectiveness in skinning applications. The curvature of the blade allows for precise cuts and minimizes the risk of damaging the hide or meat during the skinning process. The thickness of the blade at 3/16” ensures robustness while maintaining a lightweight feel, making it suitable for extended use without causing fatigue.
Handle Specifications
This particular version of the Model 4 features a handle made from Thuya wood, known for its attractive grain patterns and comfortable grip. The handle measures approximately between 4 1/4” to 4 5/8”, providing a secure hold that is essential when performing detailed work such as skinning. Additionally, the brass single hilt adds both aesthetic appeal and functional safety by preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade during use.
Weight and Balance
Weighing in at approximately 4.5 ounces, this knife is lighter than larger models in the Randall lineup, making it an ideal choice for hunters who prioritize portability without sacrificing performance. The balance of the knife is carefully engineered to ensure ease of handling, allowing users to maneuver it with precision.
