Randall feature abbreviations

I have a Model 5-6 that came wrapped in white butcher paper. I was wondering if someone could tell me what the writing meant that's on the paper. Here's what's hadwritten on the paper:

"5-6SSnssquR/b BDH" Not sure about the slash; could be an "i" or a skinny "o".

The knife itself is a Model 5-6, stacked leather border patrol handle, stainless steel 6" blade, aluminum butt cap and hilt that's squared off on the top. It also has red, white and blue spacers. The aluminum butt cap looks like it could be rounded since it doesn't appear to have the sharp edege the Randall catalog shows.

Thanks in advance.

ss -- stainless
ns -- nickel silver hilt
squ -- square hilt
R/b -- rounded butt
BDH - Black (D?) Hone sheath

RDB=Rounded Duraluminum Butt

BPH=Border Patrol Handle

What's the matter? Don't understand the queens english?!?

Have I noticed that when deciphering the enigmas Scott teases us with, it starts with the blade, and works it's way to the butt, and finally the sheath? Is that the standard method?

Chuck,
Top edge is "not" sharpened, as a rule, on any Model #5. You can order (TB) a top bevel sharpened but it is a chargeable option.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Might as well call him Dr. DW with that writing. ;-)

Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated.

Chuck,
Haven't lost my memory altogether YET, I thought about this thread today that was posted several years ago.
Lo & behold, you even posted on it.. Too funny

just think how long it would take to get a knife if they had to write out all that stuff!!!

Ten Years!!! LOL

Somebody is writing it all out...just look at your shop invoice!

Larry

Sometimes, you're lucky enough to get a personal message from
Scott himself!!!!!

Tony, DW is better with abbreviations....he misspelled Red Sox.

Tony: haha, that's awesome.

Admiring the really sharp grind lines and the overall finish of your 14!

Larry

Outstanding! LOL

Who can guess which is the shop's writing, and which ain't?

The second one is not shop, and is a bbq order.

Pap

If that's a BBQ order, that's worse than some people ordering coffee at StarBucks.

The second one might get used to CUT some BBQ!

The 2nd one looks as though Aaron may have been wrapping that one. He uses an "eye-friendlier" printing style than Scott (Ha-Ha)!
Best, Capt. Chris

What does the "R" stand for on this one? I think its and R.

Eric,
Let me see the knife and sheath & I can probably tell you. It could be red micarta. Is the handle red micarta?
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: It looks like a 5" Jack Crider Special to start with.

Yes, Capt. Chris it does have Red Micarta. Thanks again!
