CrazyCajun Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/08/12 Posts: 2040 Loc: Central Florida	That's a looker!! The guy I bought it from got my number from a mutual friend. He had bought it 30+ years ago. After talkin a bit.... come to find out, he's the dad of a good friend I went to High School with that lived 2 blocks from me in middle/high school in the 70's before I moved to NuAwlins. I hadn't seen him in 40 or so years when his kids were sneaking out at night to party.... and he caught us!!! _________________________ Steve Daugherty RKCC CM #051 NRA Member FlA Knife Makers Assoc.

CrazyCajun Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/08/12 Posts: 2040 Loc: Central Florida	Oh no.... that one might have even hit me between the eyes... No markings even close or at all, inside or outside. Stitching however is similar and sheath is of very good quality. Will take/post additional sheath pictures. Back has 2 slits for belt to go through not a single belt loop. Thanks!! _________________________ Steve Daugherty RKCC CM #051 NRA Member FlA Knife Makers Assoc.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12676 Loc: Central Florida	It's not the original sheath Steve. The Johnson sheaths' sold at the shop along with Walt's knives, had the Randall stamp and knife size on the back. If your knife is Walt's large size (and it looks like it is) there would have been a G 4 stamped on it. Also. No slit back loop. Best, Capt.

Someone may know the sheath maker.. Thanks! _________________________ Steve Daugherty RKCC CM #051 NRA Member FlA Knife Makers Assoc.
