Produced in response to the greatly elevated demand for Randall knives during WWII, the Springfield Fighting Knife was produced by the Northampton Cutlery Company based on design specs and a prototype knife supplied by Bo Randall himself. Production was limited, due to restrictions on wartime material and an unwillingness to compromise on the high-quality steel needed to make a proper fighting knife, with only around 500 believed to have been manufactured. The knife measures 12 3/4 inches overall, with a 7 7/8 inch carbon steel blade, outfitted with a 1 1/2 inch sharpened false edge and the scimitar flanked address reading "RANDALL MADE/SPFLD.MASS." on the left side of the blade. Brass cross guard, with red, white and black spacers on either side of the leather washer grip, an aluminum pommel cap and a hexagonal pommel nut with leather thong. With an unmarked Randall-style brown leather sheath.

Fine overall, the blade has crisp original polish with an overall light gray patina, a very small patch of oxidation on the right side, and sharpening marks on the edge. The guard has an attractive, aged patina with some small scratches and dings. Grip and pommel show some scuffs on the leather, light oxidation on the pommel nut, and wear and cracking on the leather thong. Sheath is also fine with tight stitching, oxidation on the metal fittings, and scuffs and scratches.
