Very attractive knife all around!
Best part is the handle shape - Border Patrol, but the most subtle I've ever seen.

I know someone who wants this shape BPH on a #14. How do I accurately describe it so it is shaped as nearly exactly as this is? (Standard black or green Micarta is his preference, so I'm not seeking the oh so elusive orange G-10/Micarta handle material.)

Cap, I can indeed clarify this one w/o a doubt...

There were in fact 6 made (the first ever Maroon Micarta) for the "Randall Dive Team" as we called ourselves...9 employees (a few spouses were among the 9) with one outsider to fill the class)...

There were 4 BPH handles, one SFG and one with the four-finger grooves...MINE...the one Eric now owns was indeed the one made to my specifications, but alas, I could not afford this in 1984...so Jack Crider took possession for an extra few bucks for me...

I have only sold 2 knives away and regret them both terribly, but at least my Commemorative went for the down payment on my first house and has been a great investment over the years...

Thanks for the comments guys
I just specified BPH,and it is more subtle than most of my other knives with BPH. I don't know why other than the knives are all hand made. I do like orange

Now that combination belongs in Bronco Country!
Great looking knife and vehicle combo!

This is an interesting knife. It has a few odd things about it.

It's a 1964-ish Model #16 Diver with a Low S stamp.

The sheath is a pancake style which was common on the 16, but it has a stone pouch which is not common.

It has a tenite handle, but what makes that odd is that Low S knives were usually considered past the tenite handle period.

The tenite is secured using the single screw, filled hole method, usually seen on brown and black micarta.... very unusual.

Last is the etching on the back of the blade. There is the owner's name, but also the blade has been etched as a ruler. You can see the numbers 1 thru 6 from the tip to the hilt. Of course the hilt is 7"

Joe Dorsky and I discussed it and he recalled some guys that were abalone divers using these and using the ruler to size the catch in some way.

All in all a pretty cool knife.

Orange still available? If so from where?

I found two slotted blocks a few years ago and had this 16 made and I have a Buxton fighter coming with the other block.
I don't currently know of a source for more.
Sorry I am not more help

This is the Model 16 that I picked up at a knife show back in the early 80's. I did a bit of ocean kayaking back then and this was my main blade for that:



I gave it to my son-in-law on the day he married our daughter. They used it to cut the cake:

#16 with Pancake Sheath with DACOR rubber O-ring. 1980's rig is my guess.

1980's vintage with pancake sheath. Strap keeper loop sewn onto the tab that holds the rubber ring.
