Stunning, Mr. Loomis, Stunning!

Speaking of "The Sergeants Three".

Once there were Three Bears and Three Bears two (too?)

A pair of Model 12-9"-#14 Grind Bowies flanking a Model 12-9" Sportsman's Bowie.

Notice the differences between the blades of the two Stainless Bowies on the left & right. A testament to the crafting of handworked metal and the experienced eye.

Great sets y’all.
Walker

Big fan of vintage model 11's, three great examples, I'm Jealous.

Small & large Stanaback Specials and a #12-6", Little Bear Bowie in Jade micarta.
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

26's Jade=Black=Canvas

I like those 3 jade micarta knives! But as always y’all do not disappoint with the posts.
Walker

Cap,

That Jade Micarta is nice!

Tom Flynn

Thanks Tom (& everyone else). I just wish I could find "MORE OF IT"!
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Capt
I wish you could find more of it too.
As I know someone that thay flung a craving on

I really love that dark jade, don't care for the light, almost translucent, jade that everybody and their brother uses. How old are the knives that are handled in it?

Something like this Billy!

Cap,
I have one piece of slotted jade. It's soon going on FB with some other micarta.

"WHY" wouldn't it go to your Florida buddy instead? I'll pay!
Best, Capt. Chris

A little late for Three-fer Thursday but Ta-Da!

That is an awesome combo!

A pair of Model 12-8", Bear Bowies, flanking a Model 12-6", Little Bear Bowie.

All mounted in nickel-silver and David Warther's resin ivory.

Very nice, Buck. How do you like the resin ivory?
Walker

Awesome trio Buck, I like that handle material

NASA "Trio"...

How 'bout carving sets? They're (almost) always "3-of-a-kind"!
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

unless you just have 2 of a kind...

:-)Rocky

Going off of Rocky's two of a kind - a pair of carvers in ivory.

sweeeeet!!!

:-)Rocky

Beauty Cap!

Here's a set I got from you-great stag. Dale Doris Walnut Presentation Case.

Tom Flynn

How about close (or very close) blade designs...Model #26, #28 & #25...4"...4 1/2"...5"...
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Damn Captain you been holding out!

Ranger Green

Treesome...4 sure!
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Cap, can you give a demonstration on how to use the sharpening steel? I just manage to make a knife duller.

me to!!

:-)Rocky

I’m with Tom and Rocky. Excellent idea!
Walker

I would like to see that, also!

Although rudimentary at it's initial start, I have begun a thread on this topic and "stuck" it atop this forum. I will amend it as time (and personnel) allows.
Hope this helps,
Capt. Chris

Couldn't find my old photos so I just did a quick "re-shoot" on this "Trio"! An "almost" perfect three-fer. I just have to get a wrist thong done on the "GTR"!
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris
* RMK GTR, #7-4 1/2 & a #4-4 1/2...in AGM (antique gold micarta) from the year "Y2K"!
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

I like those.
Really caught my attention.
Thanks for posting!

Very nice 3 fer.
Shoot870p

Those are three great knives!

It's that day again! Check it out:
3-knife set in maroon and Gutcher oxblood sheaths.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

Nice ones Cap!

Pap

Nice!

Very nice! I'm assuming a 1 of a kind set with those oxblood sheaths?

Very nice Capitan !!!

3 Model #10's outta' The Captain's "STASH", built during Dave Griffin's watch. Austrian flame maple, Scaled elephant ivory & shop-supplied green micarta.
Back during this time period the green micarta was canvas based and was OD green in color...great stuff!
All 3 are drop points and the ivory is a 4 1/2" blade! Dave "butched-up" the OD green handle and I have used the crap out of it.
Happy 3-fer-Thursday!
Capt. Chris

Note that the "green" ain't so green any more.

And the handle is scalloped like the Crider Special.

Larry

It's also far more thick! Dave's influence.
CCS

Members,
It took me a bit of time to dig through The Captain's "STASH"...but I knew I still had this "3-fer" and wanted to share them with you.
The top #4-5" is the oldest and still has it's original Heiser sheath. The other "2" came later but are "still" 7-spacer knives..., sheathed in tight-stitched, Maurice Johnson, Baby dot snapped sheaths. These 2 are from the late 1960's-early 1970's.
All 3 were RMK shop-made, according to Pete. The lower one is interesting by it's much more unique blade shaping. Similar to a Bowles Special but 2 decades earlier. Just an interesting "trio"...I hope you agree.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

AWESOME

I agree with Billy, but the pinned stag is Awesome plus, IMO.

Great comparison
Thanks for posting.

Thats a great trio there....
also is the one with a WRIST THONG hole done like that at the shop?
thanks

3 dandys for sure!! Wow!

Pap

Kelly,
100% RMK shop-done. This was looong before ferrules.
Best'
Capt. Chris

I am gonna offer an opinion. Unless a custom order, which is unlikely, it wouldn't be out of the question that that bottom knife was "tipped" and "repaired" at the shop. I believe ti started life as a model 4. Note the center bevel line is not in line with the tip as on the model 4's. I don't think RMK was making anything resembling a Green River Skinner prior to the Bowles knives that I have seen, until now

Joe,
I hear ya' and get where you're coming from..."but"..I had a #12-9" made at the shop in 1984 with a #18 style hilt Black micarta #14 style handle "&"...Tiny "sawteeth". It was not uncommon for the shop to custom-make a knife for a customer until late 1980's..."&" Pete remembered it. Could it have been a regrind of some type. Of course,,,,just sayin'.
Capt. Chris
PS: I sold that #12-9" to Glynn Martin (The guy who made the "original" wood-burnt signs. I saw it here, or FB, or Ebay for sale a few years back..."however"...in my defense, at that time...I always thought I'd be able to get another..???
CCS

this?

That's it! Thanks Bob.
Capt. Chris

that's a beauty....how many owners?

I was the original. Glynn Martin was #2. No idea past that.
Capt. Chris

I remember that one. I see that as a "custom" order, but don't see that in the green river style piece. My .02
