Thanks to all that have participated thus far. This model was part of the post-World War II knives. From Randall Made Knives: The History of the Man and the Blades, by Robert L. Gaddis, pp108-109 Quote:
The model that got fifth spot in the photo was a civilian version of the Fighter and was named the 'Camper.' It had the Fighter's blade without the top edge being sharpened and was thus offered in the same selection of 6-, 7-, or 8-inch blade lengths. The hilt and handle shapes were exactly the same as on his new Hunter model. While only moderately popular the first couple of years, this style was eventually accepted by boaters, as well as hikers and backpackers. The heavily made straight blade has proven to be excellent for general camp chores and all-around outdoor usage.
From the current catalog, p.10
Quote:
Among users of this model is Bradford Angier, famed wilderness expert and author, whose special adaptation is the nickel silver hilt, black Micarta handle, wrist thong and compass. The late Ross Allen, internationally known authority on reptiles, also carried a Model 5.
Current Model 5's come in 5'',6'',7''and 8'' blades of 1/4'' stock. There is a model 5 with a 4'' blade of 3/16'' stock known as the Small Camp and Trail Knife.
Lady and gentlemen may we please see some Model 5's.
Thank you,
Kevin

My #5-6" "Bradford Angier adaptation" By the way, the blade is carbon and this has been one of my most used Randalls since I bought it in the early 80s... camping, backpacking AND canoe trips...it has one or two small spots but is in great shape overall. I mention this in light of the new restrictions on options...I really don't feel an over whelming need for stainless blades, personally. Tony

Since I'm really stupid about posting these pictures, I've tried to follow the instructions but just can't seem to get them right. Here's another picture of my model 5'd.

Here's the last picture, promise. Just wanted to add that the model 5 is now one of my favorite models, next to my Sportsman Bowies. Also wanted to add, sorry for the lousy picture quality. I just can't seem to get the macros to work on my digital camera.

My favorite Model 5 is this one that was owned by the famous shooting expert , D. Lee Braun. I purchased this knife in 1987 from Nate Posner of the San Francisco Gun Exchange who was selling the Braun gun collection at the time. This was the 34th Randall that I purchased in my short Randall collecting effort at that time. Braun was a marksman for the Remington Arms Company. (I would appreciate any more comments on Braun here if you have them) $200.00 was the price and this was two years before we started the Randall Knife Society in 1989. The knife has a seven inch blade and the sheath is Heiser. Hey Ron, what year was this knife made? Regards, Rhett

The butt cap has a piece added to it by the original owned that looks to be a type of epoxy with a Z made out of copper in it. The Z is for his last name. He also made a handle for another of his knives, a bayonet recovered off of Iwo Jima during the time the Navy & USMC were raising the flag. Quote:
Very nice, tell me more about the butt cap, love the nickel silver on the old ones...

I would like to thank everyone who has posted/commented today. All of the knives are fantastic and it's great to see members show such zeal in expressing their views on a favorite model.
And a very special thank you to Rhett. As we all know Rhett has had some health problems and it's good to see a post from him.

Hello Rhett,
My Dad knew Lee Braun. My Dad liked him, and thought of him as a gentleman and one heck of a fine shot.
Cheers,

Thanks J.P.,
On your ironwood #5, is that all black spacers up front and aluminum/black at the the butt cap? I have never seen that. Nice!

I just received my ordered No. 5 from over 3 years ago; 5" SS blade, Maple single finger handle,NS hilt, compass, thong, top notches, and non sharp top of blade. It's a beautiful piece just in time for my late elk hunt. I use mine.

Pappy,
WELCOME!
And here's to using those Randalls!
As I said above, my #5-6" is my oldest "user" and my favorite!
Enjoy,
Tony

Patrick,
My compliments to you on your good taste. I also eschew wood handles - but like you I 'compromised' on my Presentation Grade Desert Ironwood Tom Clinton and #1 - 8". There is something compelling about the aesthetic and look of Ironwood.
Great day to you and thanks for the 'eye candy'.

Thanks, Rhett. I'm sure there's still a big gap between what I think I know about old Randalls and reality. I'm always delighted when I find out I'm wrong because it means I've leaned something. The shop was not consistant in doing things back in the "old days", so you can rarely pin down just when an old knife was made. In quantum mechanics there's something called "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle". In dating old Randalls there also has to be a "Randall uncertainty principle". I think I've mentioned before that it wouldn't surprise me if the word "circa" was invented as a result of attempting to date old Randalls.  Best, Ron

Man, me too, great group. The No. 5 and 7 are my most favorite users. I have a "Brad" from the mid-70's that I have used for most of my adult life and seems to always be the one I go to when I am hunting or "out."

Patrick, your #5 with Iron wood handle is so out standing that I would like to ask all my Randall bretheran to keep an eye out for a source of a #5 - 8", SS, desert Ironwood presentation grade handle of at least this calibre for sale. The mid 1950's #5 - 8" I have has 'charminlgy aged' carbon steel and 'tired' leather handle. I would most indebted for any information of any that is available for sale.
My instinct was correct, this forum is such a delicously bad influence on a weak willed 'teenager at heart' Randall aficienado.
Many thanks.

Ok, I know we're on to the model 6 but I don't have any and this is my last model 5 to show off, too bad I didn't get the original sheath, I do have a JRB around here somewhere for this model but the black one looked good in the photo...

You have the perfect "all around" knife. I have had mine, a Bradford Angier Model 5-5, since 1975, and have used it almost exclusively until lately. I did add a military type sheath that also holds a Leatherman and a Diamond Eze sharpener stick. I know you will enjoy using your new Model 5, congrats!

I received this #5-8" today from Randall dealer Wayne Jordan. I ordered an 8" because it was the only length #5 that I didn't own. Also, I have very few leather handled Randalls. Top bevel is sharpened.  Forgive the washed out brass furniture. There was a harsh, bright sun out and this was a hurried shot.

Gary, I have a Model 3-7 with the same handle configuration and hardware. I thought it was a little unusual because I don't see too many leather handles in a model 22 configuration. I really like the way the feels in my hand. Your 5-8 is really nice.

I bought some fossil ivory at the Blade Show a couple of years ago. Just had the knife delivered last week. I was not home to take these pictures, I had my wife do that. The fittings are fine silver from Precious Metals Fabrication. In all honesty, the knife isn't as "great" as I had hoped. Maybe the FI isn't what I remember or maybe the pics don't do it justice. But it is a Model 5 and I will keep it!!!!!

Rod, if you are that "dissapointed" I'll trade you my old 5-6 with black micarta handle that's a lot better looking than your old "fossil ivory" handle. All joking aside, nice looking knife ya got there. Dan Snyder RKS #5537

Dan
Thank you for your "kind" offer. But I will keep the fossil ivory 5. Until I see it in person and get to handle it, I will reserve judgement.
I really like fossil ivory. The piece on this knife had no "bark", so I knew what I was getting. Alot of fossil ivory can not be "judged" until you get the bark off. I had two pieces, with bark on, bought at the same time, put on knives. One piece turned out excellent,the other so-so.
I am still on the look out for a superb piece.

David, ...YES! Though I like it all! That's a great looking #5. The thick Stag with the 5" blade gives it a real nice proportion. Enjoy! Tony

Keith
Reference your question:
What is the name of this finger grip option?
All I know it by is what is said in the catalogue, which is "Finger Grips".
You have to specify if you want them left handed and it was a $20 option in the 2008 catalogue. They are not available on smaller knives. If you want that list let me know.

Mr. Hicks I believe you can ask for two different styles of finger grips.
You can ask for #14 style finger grips. Witch is just on the bottom of the handle like the knife you asked about or...
You can also order regular finger grips that wrap around the handle.
I could be very much wrong on this but I do believe I asked the same question to Mrs. Valerie years ago.
Best, Jesse

Looks like it has one "red" spacer? Huh? Who installed the handle? Is that just a mirror / image problem I am seeing...or old age? Nice lookin' knife!
Best, Capt. Chris
It's brand new from RMK, through Sullivan's. One spacer is a little lighter than the rest.

Just picked this 5-4 up a week ago. I was going to flip this knife but once I handled and saw the stag in person I cannot see me getting rid of it now! Gotta love that knarly red stag! Quote:
Know that feeling well, probably 90% of my collection was purchased with the intention of flipping...Hey that's really nice, I'll just throw that in the safe and flip the next one

That's a really "Classy" looking #5! Very Nice.
BTW, do you take these photos in a light box? Nice even lighting with no hot spots (reflections)
on the blades.

Ken,
I see you've been busy lately getting a few new knives. That is some really highly figured IW and is very complimentary with the brass furniture. Thanks for posting your knife and another nice photo.
Best,
Warren

Outstanding wood is, well, outstanding. Interestingly, my dad's definition of a knife handle is stag, stag, or stag. And, if stag is not available, then stag is perfectly acceptable. Hell, of the half-dozen Randalls that he owns, all have stag handles. Whenever I buy a new Randall with a non-Stag handle, I need to convey its options, specifically its handle material, to him in a way that make it appear as though its handle were some form of Stag.

In my opinion there is no such thing as a "bad Brad", as the Brad is the all time all around knife for almost everything. Again, if there was one Randall knife that I had to pick over all of my collection, it would be my 1975 Brad, no question.

I posted this knife before on some thread but for the life of me I can't remember where. Anyway, this is another reason to post your knives in Knife Of The Week so they can be found. The original configuration of this 5-5 had just a plain stag handle and for all accounts was pretty much a stock knife with a nice fat stag handle. So one day I sent it to the shop for a face-lift and had finger grips, a thong hole and a compass installed. When it came back, I honestly thought they sent me the wrong knife. A total transformation that made a just an OK looking Randall into something really slick. These are some options I recommend if you're a little tired of one that you might have, and to dress it up a bit for just a fraction of a new knife cost. Best, Warren

That's really a beauty, for sure. Here's a picture of my 1975 #5-5" Brad with the stock JRB sheath. Notice it has 2 snaps; Pete Hamilton added the handle snap when I was visiting my brother in Tampa and we went to the shop.

I am not even close to being any type of photographer. But I did take some pics of some of my RMK when I was last home. My knives and I don't live together. That way I don't have to worry about cutting my fingers!!!! I will attempt to attach a few pics of wooden handled 5's that I have. <img src="http://http: //www.knifetalkforums.net/imageupload/63678-GunsandKnivesJune2008015.jpg"> ebony, snakewood, calf. buckeye, ironwood

Calf. buckeye. If I remember there was a discussion about this type of wood. Although the photos aren't good, you can see there can be a big difference in how the wood turns out after stabilzing.

Rod,
I am interested in seeing these great knives of yours as a whole. Can you get some pics so we can see the entire knife?
Thanks for sharing!

I am not as organized in listing/photographing/cataloging my knives as I should be. I had promised myself I was going to take two pics of each RMK and sheath I had when I was home. Didn't happen. I do have many more pics of RMK, mostly 5's, but again I am a lousy photographer.

Rod,
Very nice collection of Model 5's. I have a custom skinner that I purchased at the NY knife show last year that has a small piece of Olive Wood on it and it is really nice. Yours is just outstanding. Thanks for posting some really nice knives with some fantastic looking wood.
Best,
Warren

That black and white Ebony is really exotic Rod. That is the first handle I have ever seen with that wood.

I just had my Model 5 orgasim from looking at Rod's #5's. AWSOME for sure. Hard to imagine so many beautiful Model 5's. Too many to think about. Thanks Rod for sharing.

Thanks to all for the kind words. I got interested in wood through Greg Gutcher. Not including this past Blade Show, but the previous 4, we would search the Blade Show looking for unique wood. Dubie, it was Greg who found the Ebony and we had similar knives made. The sad part, his knife was burnt in the fire at Sullivan's. We just bought some Desert Ironwood, hopefully we will get a couple nice handled RMK out of the wood. I had started to try and get all 5 model 5's in fossil ivory, all dressed the same. But my fossil ivory burnt as well. So I have decided to get the 5 model 5's in stag. Perhaps not as "flash", but they will all look the similar. Attached is the 5-8" and 5-7". The other 3, 5-4",5-5" and 5-6" are in the pipeline. I have also attached the other side of the fossil ivory 5-7". All the fittings on this knife are fine silver. I do have other RMK with wood. 2-5" and 13-6" with ironwood. Model 7 with maple, 8 with mesquite, 12-6" and 12-8" in walnut. Greg was telling me he has some other wood that looks promising. Once he is feeling a bit better, we may start working on something new.

Hi all Well I had to show off my latest Model 5 purchase. Confession time first. These are not my photos. I bought the knife from a fellow forumite, these are his photos. I have not seen the knife in person. It is in my RMK "you store it" place in the USA. .JPG)

Use it in good health!

The "Brad" is still my all time favorite Randall and is always my "go-to" when I try and pick one to go in the field. Only difference is mine is a carbon-5". I also have a 5" SS set up the same onlt with a SF Maple handled. It's a beauty but I haven't used it yet.

Nice Model 5 and sheath Ken
Is the leather on the sheath thicker than that of the Randall Sheaths? It appears thicker in the photos?

Peter, you wrote: Is the leather on the sheath thicker than that of the Randall Sheaths? It appears thicker in the photos? Yes, it is probably 50% thicker than an equivalent Sullivan's Holster Shop sheath. Say, the "Ironwood Nut" in your signature gave me an idea. INC: Ironwood Nut Club.

You know, you don't see that many 5s with a Border Patrol Handle. It looks GOOD! Especially with the Radiused Butt Cap. It also looks like it's BEGGING to be used! Tony

Ken,
Is the official name for your shortened butt cap called a "Radiased" cap?
I think I've heard it called a "shortened" butt cap, "radiased" butt cap, "thinned" butt cap. . .and I'm sure there are others. I just want to know the official name so I'll know what to tell the shop!

I just want to know the official name so I'll know what to tell the shop! The original shop invoice has "BB--THIN & ROUNDED" specified as non-chargeable options for the Brass Butt Cap. I didn't know about THIN, and have generally used RADIUSED instead of ROUNDED. They may be the same.

That is a excellent looking Model 5. I do like the brass hardware. The green sure doesn't look green to me, but I have VERY old eyes!!

Thank you all for your nice comments. They are very appreciated. Peter, that's a very nice looking #5. Thanks for sharing. Micarta-green seems to be a very difficult color for todays cameras. Just like maroon Best, Peter

Great knife, Peter!
The BP handle with a square hilt and 'thin & round' buttcap look so good with the Model 5's straight blade.

Peter,
Great looking #5 ... like I said before, the Border Patrol Handle on the #5 works really well!
It's nice to see great looking Randalls posted on our Knife Of The Week!

Cap,
These are the chargeable options that I count, so please correct me if I am wrong: stainless steel, nickel silver hilt, aluminum/black spacers, stag handle, Duralumin butt cap (my understanding is that it is chargeable if the handle is not stacked leather), and wrist thong hole.

I enjoy seeing everyone's photos on the RKS forums. I felt like I should be making a contribution in return, so I bought a compact camera to carry with me at work. I hope to post some photos from time to time. I'll start with the knife I use on my job.
This is the hardest-working knife I own. It's a #5-4 in standard configuration: carbon steel, brass, and stag.

thanks for the effort of posting the pictures.

I realize this photo should be in the Capt's BAD photo thread, but to me it is more important to put it in the Model 5 thread.
I do admit that the photo is bad. I am looking at a light box and when I am home next, I will try and "raise the bar" at bit with photography. My posting skills are p.poor, so no telling what will show up!!
Although I am not sure, I think I have 30+ Model 5's.

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I looked at my spreadsheet of RMK and over 1/3 of my collection is Model 5's. Peter you a correct, 5's are my favorite.
I am back in Canada next month and will endeavour to try and take some decent pics of the 5's, at least.
If any of you have pics of 5's with old yellow or discontinued AGM would you please post a picture. I only have one yellow micarta handled 5, which is a BearCamp Special. Picture attached.
Finding an Old Yellow or AGM 5 is high on my Christmas wish list. Of course my wish list happens to run 365 days a year!!!
I also have attached a picture of an Old Brown Micarta, Low S 5-6 that a bought a few years ago.

Hi Rod
Here is my model 5 6" with AGM
It is currently at the shop getting a wrist thong and a black left hand sheath. I wanted a compass too, but the handle is a little too narrow for it to look good. It should be back before the end of the year. This was one of the knives that I luckily obtained at this years shop sale

Thank you for the kind words. I could not pass on buying it, when I saw the knife. I think it is a beautiful knife. As a bonus, it is serial number 1.

This picture is for you. I bought a light box when I was in Canada a week or so ago. I did experiment with the light box, but my photos are still pretty poor. The pic was taken without the light box.
I took this pic of all my 5's with my Olive wood handled one at the center in your honor.
As well, I have 4 blocks of Olive wood back in Canada, I hope to get stabilized next year. The plan, in the next year or two is to have a handful of Olive wood 5's.

Yes I have shown a few of them before, on close ups.
Capt.
I will attach a picture of the 5-7 you thought you may have owned. I did not take a pic with the sheath. But you are correct, it is a JRB with a white Norton stone. The knife has a NSH and I was told the handle was Curly Maple. I bought it of Ebay in May 2007 from a nice couple in the north west, Oregon,I think.

Thank you all, for your kind comments.
There are many people that have alot more knives. Perhaps not all the same model, but with some sore to theme.
I am very thankful to be able to collect what I want. There are times when I wish I had a Model 5 with this or that option. But all in all, I am happy with what I have and try to add a couple Model 5's each year. Come on Blade Show!!!
The search is almost as much fun as owning, in my opinion.

and this is the latest in the collection: # 5-5", in the "Navy / Marine Aircrew Survival" version, which I discovered by reading the great big book written by Sheldon.I immediately fell in love with it(causing a crisis of jealousy to my girlfriend, so I had to be medicated  ) again, the picture is not my work, but sooner or later I'll learn, I promise ...

Here is my Model 5-6 "Rafting Randall" that I was lucky to grab from Capt Chris today. Sawteeth, stainless, wrist thong, waxed sheath, brass hilt, but aluminum and black spacers. I think that was a mistake, but it looks pretty cool.

I was lucky enough to get through the phone lines to Randall on their annual sale in the spring, AND, lucky enough to be able to purchase my first and only #5. What an outstanding knife! The weight, size and overall feel will force me to take it to the woods for Fall hunting-can't wait.

Duke-
My #5 is my most used "user" and if I had to take one Randall, it would be my #5. You'll love how handy it reall is.

This thread has been dead for a while....
This little model 5-4" arrived from the shop this week.
It was ordered on 5/17/07 with a ship date os 3/22/12.
It's sooo close the the model 8. It's a handy little knife, light, small....easy to carry.
Wonder if Sullivans could make a pouch type sheath for it?
Also shown with another, slightly older 5.

Both those #5-4s are great, but that double hilt one is especially cool! Is it slab-sided?

Oh yeah, the "Brad" is my all time favorite Randall and the one that has the most continuous use since I received it in 1975. About as great an all-around knife anyone could have and use with confidence. Congrats on 2 great Randalls.

Rex, I like the sawteeth on the 5!! Hope to have one soon with them on it, especially now that I have understood that this option is still available. And here my only (at the moment) #5, with nickel silver hilt, custom supplied ironwood, finger grips and thong hole: it arrived from the States with the point damaged, so I asked to a talented italian knifemakers, Mr Roberto Bernini, to touch it up.

Thank you Ben and Tony
Ben I have a 5-5 that I have as a user. I also have a 21 that lives in the kitchen and I plan to use it (hopefully) when turkey hunting in the spring.

Thank you all for the kind words. If you are into Micarta on your RMK, I really think the Capts. Bone Linen is a very good option. We never know, as nice as it is today, it may become collectible like AGM or Old Yellow.
The bad news with Bone Linen, you have to deal with the Capt.!!! For those of you that don't know the Capt. or me, we are good friends. Actually he is a better friend to my wife than me!! It might have something to do with her good looks or my ugly face!!

Those finger grips add something to an already special knife. They seem to make the wood grain stand out more.

Thanks Gents.
Rod:
Would like to hear more experienced Randall people's thoughts on the finger grips. My personal opinion is the nice wood looks even better with the finger grips.
The FG's do however, make photographing them much tougher (too many complex surfaces to throw glare).

Doug
I have not "used" a RMK with finger grips. By this I mean, skinning a deer, cleaning a fish or something similar. Therefore I can't comment on how they work, if the handle was wet/slippery.
Grain wise, you get a much better exposure/area with finger grips. There is more surface of the wood exposed and the indent of the grips themselves can change the graining of the wood. I agree nice wood generally looks better with finger grips. I have also had an instance where I thought I had a great block of wood, but when I got the knife back from RMK, the wood was not as nice as I had expected. I had thought the swirls, lines would go right through the wood, but it was not to be.
I am a lousy photographer, so I can not help you there with the light on the different angles.

Here is my model 5 5 inch that I received today. It was ordered on July 10 2008 and was scheduled for delivery on May 30, so the shop is ahead. Another great knife from the great folks at Randall, and someone picked a great piece of fat dark stag for me Options are nickel silver hilt and butt plate, wrist thong, and my name etched as well as a left hand sheath. It will be a great choice when I need something a bit more elegant than my model 28 Peter

Just remember Peter, that the Model 5 is not just a pretty face. You really need to take it out and let it show you it's about the best all around knife there is, IMHO.

The RMK shop must have been very confused seeing your name, but no Ironwood on the order.
Great looking stag on the knife.

I know this will surprise the heck out of most of you, but I acquired a couple of Model 5's at or just before the Blade Show.
1st off a post war 5-7. Brass hilt, leather handle and peened tang.
2nd a late 40's early 50's 5-8, NSH, leather handle and peened tang as well. Neither of these knives came with sheaths, so now I am on the hunt for sheaths for both of them.
3rd knife is a 6 option 5-6 with Ironwood. Shipped from the Shop a while ago, but I only got it at Blade.

Nice knives, I can see why you didn't show me the one with ironwood at the Blade Show, as I might have grabbed it from you.

Great #5s!
That 6 option 5 with the ironwood is crazy cool!
The top bevel makes it look a little like a #15.

Thanks you all for the comments. I think finding at least one sheath for the old 5's will be one of the most difficult/longest searches in my RMK collecting "career".
Peter, I had got the knife on Thursday morning and left it at the hotel the rest of the Show. I did not want you to be stressed over an Ironwood knife that was not yours. Besides it could be embarrassing to see two grown men wrestling over a knife at the Blade Show! Truthfully I forgot about bringing it back to the Show.

I collect APFK Model #1's..... but I have a sleeper in the bunch. This is a model #5 with a 7" blade. Note the lack of the finger dip on the spine at the hilt. The top edge is not sharpened...... but, it has a double hilt! The handle is a great piece of stag with a brass pin. The sheath is a wide flap Heiser.... Knife and sheath are early 50's.

Here's my latest. It features a remarkable handle. It is an 8 incher, stainless, nickel silver, aluminum & black spacers, and some killer bark elephant ivory!...Right?
Not really. At first, sometime even second, glance this outstanding piece looks like a way-cool piece of elephant ivory. Take a look for your self.
Best, Capt. Chris

A couple of #5 beauties. These 2 would really take some engraving on the hilt nicely IMHO.

I love them all, especially the 5" with the Hawk/Falcon scrim.

Guido, I agree with Rod and Jim, the falcon scrim and that model 5 are outstanding! The others, too, are real usable classy knives

that sheath does look a bit odd, almost like pig leather with all the small holes... i bet it holds the knife nice and secure though!

Thanks for the comments and advice. The knife is only new to me. Purchased it from an individual. It had never been used and had a very dark patina on the brass. It is now a user. So your suggestion that it is from the early 90's is quite feasible. I'll order a 26 pouch sheath. Thanks.

Well we had 10 or so inches of snow about a week back, last night it was warm and raining so the snow left and we have a nice muddy playground left! Illinois winters are so random and can change at anytime. Today is rain then possible ice! This is why I love stainless steel! Here's a few shots of yesterday's mud/rain/fog Randall playtime!  Modified grip for choking up! Love the choil sometimes!  Split up some nice dead standing seasoned cherry!  Stainless stays fairly clean!   Proper lanyard use for most situations!

looks good! gona be a user? Right now the #5-4" is a inside user, not an outside one (yet). I'm having too much fun right now with this #19 standard from back in the day. It already has scratches and character so I don't mind if it gets more. I can't believe how fast apples stain carbon steel.

Just got back from Tulsa and..."What A Trip"!! (Take that in "all ways possible") I thought I'd share some pics of a way-cool Model #5-7" that I took in trade at the show. This knife should interest a lot of folks.
* VietNam War vintage knives
* Military knives
* Hunting knives
* Stag handled knives
* Johnson roughback freaks
* Artistic/engraving fanatics
* 7 spacer dudes
Come one, come all. This is a splendid example of a knife that ain't pidgeon-holed into one area. I have seen (even tried) some blued blades before and most just don't get it. Whomever did this one...Nice Job!!
The engraving does not appear to be signed but looks like examples I have seen (and owned) by Louie Sanchez! I mean every single area that could be scratched on is covered on this "old, squared" style brass single hilt. The stone is white but may not be the original. It is slightly thinner than current stones but seems a tad too abrasive.
Anyway: It's a nice conversation piece...so: PLEASE: Have a conversation.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

Capt.
Your opinion, does it appear that the front of the sheath has been waxed or polished? Not Sullivan's type waxed, shoe polish type wax/polish. I ask this, as the stitching on the front looks darker than the stitching on the back.

Is it my imagination or does the back of the sheath say it's for a Model 1-7 ?

I really like your "new" knife, Captain. The engraved guard and concho are wonderful. It appears the concho is sterling. Great find!

I thought I would bring the Model 5 thread to the top again. In the last 1 1/2 years I have bought/acquired two older Model 5's. Neither had sheaths.
I bought a sheath for the 5-7 a while ago, but only recently found a sheath for the 5-8. It isn't perfect, but considering it is around 60 years of age, it is not bad.
I have come to realize buying older sheaths, by themselves, price wise, can range between, "not bad" to "dear, we need to take a mortgage out on the house".
The 5-7, which I think is a late 40's to early 50's, based on the spacer arrangement. BUT I have been wrong before, many times!!

Thank you Mike. Yes the 5 is my favorite as well. The 1960's Model 5's are still my focus, but sometimes my collecting focus becomes blurred, hence the older ones!

The hiride sheath is from last summer, Danny made it and it really helps when doing tractor time.

I got an interesting knife in the recent Rock Island auction. It was desribed as a #5 with six inch blade. However, the photo showed a "dip" in the blade just in front of the hilt with thumb notches. I thought maybe it was a #1. I got the knife last week and the thumb notches on the blade look odd. There are three photos attached. One shows the knife and sheath, one photo is a comparison of the new knife (on the right) and a correct #5 and the third shows the new knife with "dip" and thumb notches up close. It looks to me like a previous owner might have ground the "dip" and added the thumb notches. What do you think?

A bit curious, but I wonder:
1. Is the clip sharpened?
2. How is the sheath marked (I think it looks like a Johnson sheath--not to start a long exchange on this, but maybe it is marked with the nominal model number?).
We know you can order a Model 1 with a single hilt.
What we don't know is whether the shop might have installed the Notches into the "dip" on a Model 1?

To my eyes, it looks like the top of the notch was ground down. They appear flatter on top.

Could the notch also be requested flattened like the one on the right demonstrates?

Thanks for your comments, gents. For whatever it's worth, the clip is not sharpened. The sheath is a Johnson rough back, tight stitched and, in addition to the Randall stamp, is only marked "6" on the back. I guess I'll call it a #5 for now.
By the way, the knife is named to "Bill Redburn". Rick Bowles told me he did this special for Mr. Redburn which is why the scrim is not numbered. He also said he thinks it was done about 1978-79.

- - - - Buckspen You might want to see if you can get Rick to give you something in writing on that. I have only seen 1 other Bowles scrim on a Randall that wasn't numbered & the man who bought it from me had Rick add a number. Just a thought.

David - I've been in contact with Rick Bowles by e-mail about this knife and he has confirmed the provenance. I'm hoping he'll write me a formal letter but I do have copies of the e-mails and photos.

Capt. Chris--
Your logic is that it is a Model 1-6 (with the Model 1 "top" not being added to a Model 5 per Shop practice or policy).
Which makes sense because why add the divot that characterizes the Model 1 to a Model 5 anyway?
And it is left for us to assume that somebody wanted Thumb Notches added into the Model 1 divot. Perhaps that somebody "thought" that the divot plus the notches would provide improved purchase for the thumb or finger that is placed forward of the hilt.
Since it apparently has never been a "user," perhaps the original buyer simply wanted something that nobody else might have ever ordered, but that person probably did not foresee that he would create a mystery to intrigue and befuddle us of the future!

Larry -
The "divot" is a finger relief. It is designed for your forefinger (pointer) when grasping the hilt for edge up fighting (Bo's preferred style) offering a more comfortable grip. The top quillion of the hilt goes between the forefinger and middle (bird) finger.

Thanks for the compliment! With a bit more practice, I think my photos might be worthy of their subjects.
I've never been a big fan of stag either, at least not on users. This one just felt right when I picked it up.... so I took it with me!

Just picked up this leather handled 5-5 with sawteeth.
Took a pic to compare an other 5-5 with sawteeth. Quite a difference where the sawteeth start and finish in the two knives.
After looking at the pictures, I am not sure the top knife has a Model 5 grind. The top bevel starts a lot further forward than most 5's!! Any thoughts???

difference is the location of the RMK stamp which affects the grind/teeth. At least it does on these two examples.

Looks like Crutch is correct...you can really see why we substitute the Combat Companion blades when a 5-5 s/t is requested...

Thank you for the clarification. I had never thought of that, but it makes sense.
Scott
I thought, when I first looked at the pic, it was a CC blade. But the knife is too early, for that.

Here's my Model 5-6" carbon steel blade with sawteeth! Nickel-silver hilt, all red spacers, stag handle with compass, and black "C" sheath!
Don't see a lot of newer Model 5's with sawteeth......

That is an awsome piece, maxpastor!
How far through the handle does the tang reach on the Butt Plated models, halfway? 3/4 of the handle length maybe?
Or in the ones with an inbedded compass?

I have never cut a handle off any #5 of mine, but most short tangs have had enough weight in back end to balance weight of blade plus guard with center of gravity either at index finger or at guard. Assuming a normal proportion tang circa 1/2"x1/4", I could see about 3/4 of handle length. The back part of tang/handle takes very little stress and think anything past 3/4 main need is for a pommel hangar.
Nice knives there, Bill. I would be scared to death of the 8 option jobber but a rarer and rarer thing and a beauty. If someone has posted a 9 option #5 here, I do not recall one and have watched this site for a while, long enough to see many early posters no longer here, and they had some humdingers.

nothing to be afraid of Lofty, the original owner had something in mind for this knife and is very usable. just thing of the bragging rights at Deer camp.

Thanks Lofty, that's sturdy enough.
This piece inspired me to to change my order from a Model 1 7" to a Model 5 6"(carbon),black BPH, with reduced brass hilt & butt plate.
My thinking is that the reduced hilt will accommodate a pouch sheath.
Very sleek and elegant user!

Gustaf, here are the specs on this one from Capt. Chris
Max,
Your new acquisition has 8 options! They are:
* Stainless
* STN (Sawteeth/No sawteeth grind)
* Nickel silver hilt
* Aluminum & red spacers
* Maroon micarta handle (or possibly "CW")
* Border patrol handle shaping
* Nickel silver butt plate
* Wrist thong
On top of that you have a ninth option (reduced hilt) but it is "non-chargeable". You also have a black sheath ($30 charge)and, because of the STN, a long "TB" (top bevel sharpened) which is a chargeable option with a standard #5 blade grind..."BUT"...(I know: I can't help myself)...it is "standard", therefore non-chargeable, with the STN.
Helluva' knife! Hope this helps,
Best, Capt. Chris

You're a stand up guy, providing info maxpastor!
As a user, I went for the standard grind & brass fittings, I enjoy the patina of old brass and a well used carbon steel, and someone needs to bring that steel back home to Sweden, right...?
(it's most likely made in Germany now though...)
I do like the standard sheath, but find the pouch with dangler attachment more "field friendly" - hence reduced hilt.

(it's most likely made in Germany now though...)... I like carbon steel with a nice patina as well. Here is my #5-5, not in Germany but on holidays in Italy, though

Maybe it's already been discussed in the past, but I wonder why Randall built/builds the #1 and #5. they are so similar that I see no need for both.

O K, rod you can have all of my model 5s. go wait by your mailbox until they show! Actually I have no model 5s. I have had one in my 20 or so years of collecting, but I sold it. I kind of wish I still had it. It was a 5-5 with sawteeth, stag handle and a JSB sheath.

Very nicely optioned 5-5 Eric, great stag too. The 5-4 with the reduced hilt has a small Gambler look to it; I like it.

That is an impressive "hunk" of stag on the 5-5. Good start to collecting 5's. 5's look great and function very well too.

According to the seller, it was a Rhett Stidham knife. White Poly Pearl, but I have no idea what material that is. Eric

I have studied the Model 5's just a little, but one thing I am not sure on is if the thumb notches are standard or an option??? when I read the description on the catalog I don't see the notches as a standard option.
just curious

They are standard. I tried a few years ago to order a 5 through a dealer, without thumb notches. No luck.
Now to contradict myself, I have at least two 5's without thumb notches. Perry told me that this happened once in a while to older 5's. I don't know if they were ordered that way or it just happened.

Thank you Attila for the kind words.
I am hoping I can find an older 5 at Blade this weekend. If so I will post a pic.
I have a couple knives I am going to pick up, a 5 with 6 options and a Model 1.

Thank you.
It is my favorite knife.
This one is rare randall knife, in Japan. Welcome to the Forums. It is my opinion that Model 5's dressed like yours are a bit rare in North America as well. I have a couple, one with black micarta and one with yellow micarta. They rank up there as my favorites as well. Although I will probably never use the sawteeth, I do like the look of small sawteeth.

I called the shop to see what they had on the bench around 1987 or 88, my son and I got matching 14's, while I was on the phone I got a 5-4 for a buddy going on a sheep hunt in British Columbia.
I was so envious of his knife, a perfect small hunter. I wanted one for years but never got around to ordering one.

JB, number one rule: don't buy a Randall for someone else that you have always wanted. the therapy for the Regret is much more expensive than the Knife.

Yes, regret in this case was about twice as expensive as in '88. But the situation is remedied, looking for mine in the spring.

Real purty Model 5. I have a similar looking one but carbon steel and a compass plus all red spacers, but no sawteeth. Will it be a user?

Peter,
THAT is a great looking knife with cool options. Really like the squared-off guard and sawteeth.

I have had my Model 5-5 for several years now. Out of my small collection of Randall's, it is the one that I use the most. I find the 5" blade is perfect for packing on the belt while out in the woods. Here is a pic that I took back when the knife was fairly new:  This my "Outback" rig. The Model 5 makes a great combo with my S&W 629:  We get a few unwanted visitors around the ranch house at times:

Nice setup and the Model 5 is my favorite of all the Randall models.

For all around use, it is hard to beat a Model 5, IMO.
Great combo, a 5 and 629.

There was no date on the box, so the only indication is the stones. The plain white ended in 1973 and the India marked stone started in 1989-1990. But was the India stone just chucked in the box????? My guess is that the India stone doesn’t belong. Thanks, Eric

Thanks fellas. I picked this up at an estate sale and after I bought it the seller told me he thought the owner had carried it in Vietnam. I talked to a family member of original owner (he is now deceased) and was told he was an E6/SSG with the 101st Abn Div and carried the knife in Vietnam in 1966. She remembered him stating he bought the knife in country for $20 and brought it home after his tour so unsure of it's origin prior to that. I have no photos of him with the knife but the story is good enough for me as it's going in the keeper pile - wish it could talk. There's a few other photos of it in the "This Old Randall" thread.
It's a cool old knife and I got a good deal on it but it was over $20...

Christmas time in February. This is a long story.
When we lived in Ireland, a good friends brother gave me a chunk of Yew wood. We moved back to Canada and the wood got put away in a safe place!!
Finally got off my rear and talked to Greg Gutcher about having a Model 5 made with the wood. Had it stabilized and here is the finished product with a black no hone sheath. Did not even wipe the blade.
As well, in the package, was a high ride sheath for my red and blue handled 5-4. I am so happy, I could almost do an Irish jig!!

Thanks for sharing Rod. I wasn't familiar with Yew before. It turned out great.
As far as watching you dance...........maybe not so great.

Wow, that #5 looks great, Rod! I have to admit that I wasn't familiar with Yew wood, so I looked it up. What a beautiful tree!  Gotta wonder how many Randalls are out there with Yew wood. Including yours, maybe one?

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Tom, yes Yew is unique to this part of the world. I gave Greg enough wood for three knives and I have a bit more. He had two made. I declined on the second knife, so I know there is my knife, and one more out there, with yew on it.
I am going to start searching for some more unique woods.

I know we had discussion about Model 5-5's and the blade "shape" going to a CC shaped blade.
Here are four 5-5's with ST. I know the Bear Camp special is the original grind (not CC), as this knife was made in 1982. It is SN 1. Anyone have opinions about the other 3???
An aside, the leather handled knife, which I bought on Ebay, comes with a great story from the seller. He states he used the knife to cut/kill a rattle snake, that had bit into a friends boot!!

Rod to me that is the sexiest blade shape Randall makes.
Just almost impossible to get anymore because of the 5 option limit.

I agree it a the best looking blade and IMO, the most usable, over all, of the RMK.
If RMK offered the 5-5" with ST and the "old" grind, I would have a herd of them.

Some of you may not know, but Billy Poyner and I are good friends.
I got a text this morning from him, of a Model 5 he just got with Thuya Burl. I thought he was supposed to be working at that time of day, but apparently not!!!
Anyway I think the Cap dropped off the Thuya Model 5 at Billy's last night on his way to Tulsa.
I know Billy is going to post a pic tonight, so I thought I would beat him to it with a pic of my Thuya 5. This Thuya Burl, I supplied, and I got this knife in 2012. I also have another Model 5 with shop supplied Thuya, but I have not had a chance to get to our PO Box in NY state to pick it up.
It will be interesting to compare the two pieces of Thuya, Billy's and mine.

I was looking at the knife on my phone when you sent me the pic earlier. Your
handle appears to have more "eyes" than my piece of wood.
Thuya is great wood for handle material. IMO.

Outstanding Model 5. No such thing as a bad #5 IMHO. Good looking woody.

Here is a pic of my Model 5 with shop supplied Thuya.
The last pic is some of my RMK in boxes. It has been moving day/week/month.
After 33+ years of marriage, 13+ different addresses, living on 4 different continents, we have hopefully made our last move..
My wife, Denyse, and I agree, moving sucks!!!

Thank you Tom. My value is going down as I get older, but my older RMK's are becoming more valuable. I think that is why I am "allowed" to buy older knives!!

Sorry it must be my Canadian accent. We bought another house and we have moved my RMK to the new house. They are being stored in boxes at the new house until we get the safes moved to the new house and then they will back in the safes.
Safes will be moved on Thursday.

Fresh from the Captain with his Bone Linen. #5 - 6"
I wanted a knife that somewhat resembled the one worn by Gen. Westmoreland.

Super knife and a Waltham compass to boot! Any idea when the shop moved the lanyard hole from top to bottom?

Great looking Model 5.
I have 3 Model 5's in the Angier "mode", one of which was featured in Sheldon's book. All the thong holes are on the bottom.

IIRC most if not all thong holes were relocated to bottom as "standard" probably in the early 60's.
I think one reason is with the handle drop, often there was not much material to work with between the tang and the top of the handle.

Capt.
now that you say that I agree it does look very light. I'll know more when I receive the knife. if so, Mr. Moore may not be the original owner. I remember reading a thread by Scott, in regard to the name being part of the providence of a knife and I am excited to have an older named blade, hope it is just the camera work and it an original owner. when did Randall start etching names??? I believe the unlined throng holes were from around 64 to 72 if I have the dates correct. I see a gray stone in a photo of the sheath (only the edge) so we may know more if it has the yellow writing on it. that would fit the time frame.

I looked at the catalogs on Tunes' page, the 1942 catalog mention inlaid initials, or initials on a silver disk. The 1945 catalog priced etching at $1.50.

that makes since Wally. inlaid on separate material. and the Solingen blade stamps were etched from 55 to 79, Now I don't know if Randall etched them or Solingen. but I imagine that Randall was etching on the blades by that time period.
great info
thanks

received the knife today:
It did have the yellow letters stone. the name is very small and not very deep, so Capt. Chris may be correct about it being a newer etch, letter mic out at .077" tall. JRB sheath, over all the knife is in very good condition, compass looks really good.

Your new #5 has nice lines and proportions. I like the squared off guard and dropped handle. Really nice package!

My Model 5-4 should be here in the next few weeks. I ordered it with a black micarta handle without a lanyard hole hoping that the handle might be a little smaller in diameter. Don't know if it works that way or not, regardless it should be a nice user.

Today I watched the site of the Captain. In the recently sold knives, I noticed this beautiful model www.captainchrisstanabackrandallknives.com/index.php?/main/catalog/1234So, one photo turned out very unusual. It reminded me of one of my old knife from AG Russell. An interesting form of the bolster could have been if it had not been for reflection (Just need to mentally turn the constriction (or expansion) down, and not up)

Well, here's my old(new to me) #5-8"; unashamedly borrowing pics. from that photographic genius, Miles W.....& a few from me. I was really pleased to get this knife, hope to have the good fortune to use it as my hunt/hike/fish/camp-knife. Toward that goal I sent it North toward Jim Behring and Rosco sent it back with an outstanding new sheath, using a beautiful piece of tanned beaver tail (Thanks Pap!). I have no idea about when this beautiful blade left the shop. You fellas'?
So guys, whaddaya' think??

Chief,
I was admiring the grind of this blade last night. It's quite unique, however this may sound funny, I do not have another #5 to compare it to.
Crazy!!!
anybody out there have any "saw teeth" 5's they can post up???

Capt,
That grind!!! It's hard to believe these are hand made...the quality control out of the shop is incredible!!! the grind is an exact match!!!
You would think that a sharp eye could catch some differences, I see none!!!
Of course, my eye is not what it used to be...the cocktails are, however!!!

Rocky
Literally in the door from a two day gun match. I am gone early tomorrow, for the day.
BUT I will get a pic or two of 5's up on the Forums on Monday.
Rocky
These are not new(er) Model 5's. The one picture is of 5 model 5's with ST. The second pic is of the 4-5" ones in the first picture.
I have no idea why I can't see the first picture. Camera/pics and I are not on the same planet!!!

Guess I've just never spent much time looking at the #5's, and lees with the saw tooth option. The blade shaping is outstanding!!

Dumb Question Alert!
I have read that the reason sawteeth vary in size on the Model 18 is due to the age of the "wheel" that cuts them. Why do the sawteeth on these different vintage Model 5s appear to be the same small size? In other words, why don't we see Model 5s with large sawteeth?

It is my understanding that teeth on the 18 are cut to be straight
up and down and other knifes at an angle.Read that somewhere or was told to me.Can be verified by disclaimed by Scott,Capt etc.Have quiet a few with saw teeth including a couple of 5's

Looks like the teeth on 5's are set to cut on a pull stroke. On 18's either push or pull. That what I see, could be totally wrong.

I would guess that the grinder "wheel" gets changed at a certain level or depth of use.
Maybe gets used on other projects so the teeth stay more uniform.

But the point being depth and angle of cut of teeth appear different. Take another look at 18's and 5's. Survey says.....

Tom you are correct...size depends on the sharpness of the wheel, and even how much wheel is left the process...since we do not do very many Sawteeth in the front room, the wheel tends to be a newer wheel and we are able to keep the teeth more of a fine cut. We also purposely tend to make the teeth fine for the front room knives (not 14 room)...

To all--
About three years ago at Blade, I saw an older Model 1-5 stag with sawteeth.
I should have measured and counted the teeth--they were small, and maybe as many as 16-per-inch!
I kick myself for continuing to look at all the stuff this dealer was putting out--when I turned back another dealer had stepped in and piled this knife and several others aside to buy them.

Hopefully that plays out Mick. As you can see there's a parallel side story going on that's all about cake cutting Randall's. Wishing your Dad many happy days using his new Randall.

I am sure he will be happy to put his Randall to the task! Both of my kids cut their wedding cakes with Randalls that I gave them (A Model 14 and a Model 16) for the blessed event. I think I have read somewhere that you were notorious for using Randalls to cut cakes too......

Dad has always been a knife guy, but never had anything as nice as a Randall until now. He really loved getting the Randall!
We live out in the country, so that is an NEF 12 gauge leaning up against the wall. Just a little something to have handy for unwanted critters....:)

Great picture. Love the Model 5 over all others. I have favorites, but the Model 5 will always be my absolute favorite.

Well it appears that there is some issues with PostImage now, so I am re-posting the photos of my old Model 5-5 that I gave to my daughter a while back:  As with my 12-9 with the 14 grind, it too was called upon to do a little work out at the ranch:  This is the 5-4 that all the kids chipped in on for my dad's birthday:  And this is dad using it to cut his birthday cake:

I was going to take pictures of the wooden handled Model 5's I own. I got one picture and the rain (showers) started.
Got another dozen or more wooden handled ones, when I get time to take their pic.
From the top: Ebony, Olive wood, Olive wood, Thuya and Yew.

Now Billy, you know it is against my religion to get rid of ANY Model 5’s. I can only buy. I do not understand trade, sell, give away, dispose, etc. when it comes to 5’s.

My first Randall and my camping/hiking knife. Felt so good in the hand I became a bit obsessed with Randall knives since I got it. The history is fascinating and there is so much to learn. Already saving up for a version of a little bear bowie that I am currently lusting after. .jpg)

I also like the 5 with the 6in. blade. If I could only have one Randall it would be the 5-6 although I really like the 25's and the 26's. What am I saying I like them all! I also am quite fond of the Rick Bowles Special. The hilt is NS just looks like brass in the pics. Can I send this knife back to the shop and have ST added?

Here's Pap's first Model 5-5" Bradford Angier setup from 1975. This one is retired, but it has a lot of stories associated with it. Sorry for the poor shot of, what appears to be, an etched stamp. Will try and get a better one tomorrow.

OK...I'll play. I bought this for myself, with hope it would be "transformed" by Christmas. It was and I want to thank BMK & Amy @ Warlander. Card under the tree read: "To the greatest guy I know!"
Love, Capt. Chris (Ha-Ha)!

A #5 6 That I bought with a broken tip and a pretty big gouge in the side of the Micarta. The RMK Shop fixed both issues.

SGT Eldridge, the file size of each of your photos is too large for the photos to post. You need to reduce each photo's file size. The total file size of the three was nearly 4 MB.
If you're using your smartphone to transmit the photos, email them to yourself. The prompt will ask you for your chosen file size. Each photo should be no larger than 500kb, so the three together should not exceed 1.5 MB in total. After you have emailed each them to you, drag them out of the message, and put them in a marked file folder. Then, when you are ready to "publish them", just indicate the photo you are using and post it into the File Manager. These three now total less than 500kb.
The alternative is to use a phone photo editing app like Google's Snapseed, a free app.
Some of my learned geek friends here may have an easier method. Hope so.
Here are yours....

I use photo resizer app, then after re sizing, I also rename the photo so it's easier to find and post.

I have no idea why I could't post a photo, only the attachment. Then I post the WWII #2 above and it works. I tried multiple times in the other thread.

When I click on a photo a box comes up and in that box you can click on edit a new box comes up and you can resize, flip, or rotate left or right. Then I change the pixels to 750 and the other box fills its self. Then I click out and it asks it you want to save, which you do. That works for me hope it will for you also. This is a couple of pics of a handle that has turned darker on one side than the other.

Yes I just saw that, that is the first time this has happened, usually the pic post up, as you can see from some of my other post here on the forum. I think I will try again. Same thing again. I guess I need to check my setting.

I don't put pictures from my Smartphone. I email them to my desktop, then pull my email up and save the picture on my desktop and name it. Then I pull the picture up and then right click and hit resize. I do Small, then rename it again. Then upload it, to the forum. I have no idea how to do it from my phone.

That is a great looking knife Mike. Congratulations. Will you use it or just admire it?
Peter, Mike does not have to worry about me. Our common border is still closed. I have some real good friends “storing” knives for me until I can get to my US PO Box. Very frustrating not being able to cross the border or go to Blade.

Great get, Pap!
That one would be handy for lots of different things!
I don’t know why, but the first thing I thought about was cuttin’ a good tender steak with it.
Maybe some of that elk you killed earlier.

Great knife. Got me thinking!
Rod, we will miss you at Blade this year.
I was bringing all my 5's to get your opinion.
Ah well!

I just bought two dozen Model 5's, 5" & 6"with exotic wood handles.
Maybe I can sneak them in without Rod seeing them, now that David & Mitchell have left the "low-rent neighborhood" and gotten into those "high-rent district" wall booths, joining Duke McCaa and Chris Stanaback.
Rod won't need to visit "us poe folk". I don't think I have more than sixty to sell, all told.
Here's one of them that absconded already in spalted sycamore. M5-6", SS, NS1-sq, ASP-blk, CW, FG.

David and Buck
You sure know how to make a fellow sad! But if you have some orphan 5’s looking for a new home, let me know. In reality I am pretty much focused on Low S and Separate S 5’s.
But I have had a brand new orange handled 5 sitting in our NY PO Box since March of last year! Frustrating,
Buck if I ever get a spare minute I will post a picture of some wood handled 5’s Greg had made up for me a few years ago.

I have a question, I don’t remember being asked before.
On older Model 5’s, once in a while, you find one without thumb notches. On newer 5’s, single hilts, they all have thumb notches. BUT (Capt will be happy seeing that word) on 3 newer Model 5’s, with DOUBLE hilts, there are no thumb notches.
I understand thumb notches on a double hilt would not be very useful. Can anyone answer, if you order a double hilt Model 5, is thumb notch delete “automatic”?

Rod, I would guess that is the case. What would be the point?
As an aside, here is an odd duck, and I presume it was counted as an option. Who the heck would order a model 1 like this? Not the most comfortable using the finger relief for edge up method. Looks like SJ went right from the notches to the teeth or vice versa, and didn't miss a beat. Late 60's piece.

Joe and Capt
Thank you both for your replies.
BTW I tried, a few years ago, to order a single hilt 5 without thumb notches. RMK said unable.

Yes sir, T/N are not neccesary for double hilts and are deleted automatically just as they are added on the 14's and 15 CDT's single hilts at no charge...

yep, late for that. My guess is 5" stainless model 5's were not in great demand, so the blade languished in the shop for a bit.

Odd dating, as well. for that sheath and an un-lined thong hole.
Cool knife,
Capt. Chris I have no idea if the thong hole was shop done. You would think it would be lined at this point in time, but who knows. maybe it slipped thru the cracks, then again, maybe it didn't. ....of course, if the sheath were a "long-ago-replacement" things wouldn't appear odd at all.
CCS What makes you think the sheath was a "replacement"?

Maurice Johnson had two machines, with one having a looser stitch pattern. You see some of his from the early 60's with the loose pattern. I don' know if it was the same machine he used in the 80's, but I am going to guess not, but who knows. The main machine he used to make the "tight stitch" pattern did break on occasion, and he used the spare while his main one was being repaired. So it is not impossible to have a looser stitch on what we might consider an earlier appearing knife like this one, but it is not common.
In any case, I went and looked at the sheaths that go with the few examples 5" bladesI have, and Capt. is correct. In my haste, I seem to have put it with the wrong sheath. I will have to rephotograph it and repost.

Rod, that is a super display for sure.
For us not in the know would you describe the different “stages” of the blade forging in your display?
Thanks

Thanks everyone for the comments. The display was put together by ?? and I bought it from Mitchell. He has a similar one with a Model 1. Perhaps someone can shed a light on how these displays came about.
Walker I do not know the names of the different “steps” in the production process. The blade starts out as a bar of steel, but I do not know what each step is called.

I agree with Mike, I would be ordering a 5 if I could get a Gat award handle on it.

Thank you Mike and Alan.
The handle feels very good in my hand. And the micarta is a great color, although my photography does not show that.
