Hopefully he used a Randall.

TAILOR KNIFE!!!!!

Thanks everyone! It was a fun little project. As for how I cut it?

Chief wins!

Tom,

I believe I only have one knife, an 11-4.5 with a rawhide lanyard. Got it years ago and at the time didn't know it was original. Good for you on the project, it's all good.

Thanks Warren. Seeing some of your collection here on the forum, I'm sure your Model 11 is a beauty.

Tom,

Here you go, with old brown as a bonus.

Again at the time didn't know rawhide lanyards were the time at the day. In any event small window and hope it contributes to your thread.

Rawhide lanyard or not, that is one tasty #11. Man oh Man!!

Pat,

One of only two old brown micarta 11's I know exist. Joe D. Has the other. This one has a rawhide lanyard I never knew existed.

Great Thread Tom. Guess I can add a couple of pics......with their story. These pics. have an Uncle Henry I've owned since about '75. During a week long hunting/camping/walking trip in 1977 my WWII & Korean War vet buddy/very close friend braided that leather thong onto my Unc. Henry as we sat by the fire on the 3rd evening out, sharing a quart, fresh venison backstraps and tales.
The Randall #8 was the 2nd one I ever purchased, has gone on every hunt since, is my favorite for many reasons, has a close twin I gave to my son in the woods to field dress his first buck (carried it in my pack 2seasons without him knowing). I bought it from Perry @ Spaceport; had bought my 1st Randall from from Rhett at his Meadows of Dan store.
They are laying on top of a leather guitar strap a tailor made for me in '72 so that heavy Les Paul wouldn't keep falling off.
I miss all those men.

hay Warren....don't forget about me....
