1-6 New One!

1-6 New One! - 10/20/15 08:24 PM

Just got this one. This is the best handling one I've ever had. The handle is shaped in such a way it fits my hand absolutely perfectly. Like if I grabbed a ball of clay, squeezed it and then the shop made a mold of it. It's incredible.

I can't find the paperwork I have on it, so I'm not sure of the options, but I think I maxed out, right? Stainless, stag, nickel silver hilt, nickel silver butt, wrist thong. Right?

Sweet #1. If you have a NS hilt you gotta have a NS buttcap.

Gorgeous stag!! The polished areas are so white even at the hilt!
Not something you see very often. Yours comes under the heading of premium. Good Get!!

I wish I could explain how it feels. It is not completely round. It sort of sticks out a little on the side. It almost looks crooked when you look at it from the butt straight down toward the tip. When I saw it, I thought well, this doesn't really look that good. But when you hold it, it's literally the best fitting knife I've ever held and it's no exaggeration to say I've held a thousand over my lifetime.

I found the paperwork and I actually made a mistake--it's a duralumin butt cap, not nickel silver.

The #1-6 is a great knife. It seems that most out there are 7" versions, but the 6" just looks right.

Great stag on that one, Cap. Like the no hone sheath too.

What color are the spacers on that #1 Chris?

Originally red, white & blue but, of course the wide old blue spacers darkened to black, in time.
Best, Capt. Chris

Hemingway--Initial impressions can be so deceiving. I think that knife may be all wrong for you and you should consider letting me take it off your hands (pun intended)!
