Let's see what this thread will bring out out of the shadows. Post your TRUE oddballs.

I'll kick it off - This knife is a Model #1 with a 5-1/2" blade. I saw this knife on Steve Zimmerman's website, but thought it was a regrind. Burnie bought it and put it in my hand at Blade Show. It is not a regrind.

The sheath fits like a glove. The blade is very narrow and light. I have a 5" fighter from the same time period and it is too wide for this sheath.

It has 7 spacers, black micarta handle and a lugged hilt.

One off Taxidermy knife created by Gary Randall in 1968 and presented to Dick Dove after speaking with him inside Denmark's Sporting Goods. Stashed away in one of the safes.

OK...I'll play! Although not as ancient as many we all have, this one is "officially rare"! It's (only) 45 1/2 years old, i.e. June of 1971 but I have "never" seen another! Last photo shows the knife on top of the original sales receipt. What I like most is the fact that the guy got a 10% discount!! (ALSO RARE!!)
Good thread Mitchell...(Even though I had to go downtown to my safes to retrieve this package from my "Hidden Stash"...(Ha-Ha)
Best, Capt. Chris

This one may be a Gambler prototype. It was authenticated by Perry Miller in 2014.

Not nearly as much of an oddity, so far as rarity, but a hard-to-find Model #8-4 1/2", Trout & Bird. They were made for John Newell, owner of the Orvis store in Winter Park, Florida. I understand the shop has, either closed down, or moved location. Too bad.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Stainless was "AEB-L"
