I read somewhere that Current Blackjack Knives offerings are contracted out to Bark River Knives, which is Mike Stewart's current company. Bark River has a fine reputation for quality work and is a US company. The Randall copies that they produce are of very high quality indeed, on a par and sometimes surpassing current Randall quality (I have a model 12 Smithsonian Bowie from Randall that is just covered with grinder marks that weren't polished out). Since, quality-wise, there isn't that much difference between a Blackjack and a Randall, you'd pick a Randall simply for the history of the name.
