There was a #2 to match it also. Best, Capt. Chris _________________________ Capt.Chris Stanaback RKCC/RKCA Founder RKS #016 NRA Lifetime Member CAPTSTANABACK@aol.com WEBSITE: www.captstanaback.com

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2120 Loc: Ontario, Canada	I was told that the wood on the bottom Model 5 was Curly Maple. It is somewhat similar to the handle material on Miles' knife.

Max thank you for the nice comments. _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.” — Nelson Mandela

Sidney_Redford Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/20/05 Posts: 1621 Loc: Blue Ridge Mtns. Va.	Rod I think the 5 with Maple handle is a great looking knife, I have the same wood on a custom rifle but the Tiger Maple looks more like a Tiger (real) than yours. Would you be interested in selling? _________________________ Sidney Redford NRA Endowment Member RKS #84 NRA Life. Shag # 11

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2120 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Thank you Sidney, but no. I may have sold one Model 5 in the 20 yrs I have collecting. But I saw the error of my ways!! 5's are all I collect/accumulate and I keep everyone. _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.” — Nelson Mandela
