Mick, very nice #10-3! smile

Received today, thank you Capt.Chris!
This is a very good job, I can not catch the right angle of shot,
this rosewood has some property,
its layers shimmer like a tiger's eye (stone)

I was also surprised with the way the wizards
in the workshop chose a tree - on the end of handle
the layers coincide and are set mirror, this is cool!

That Ol' Captain's a crafty pirate! Sneaking in those business cards, what a self-promoter! Glad it arrived safe and sound!
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris (Aargh!)

Interest, of late, was shown for an oddball Model #10-7" that was listed on Ebay. I personally think the knife is ok. Scott doesn't recall any Model #10's shaped this way.
I dug into a couple of safes and was able to find "2" (& "Only Two") examples of similar shaping. Both have brown-stitched sheaths, indicating late 1990's. I thought both were made on Dave Griffin & Jed Peckham's watch but was just not sure.?!
Scott and I have had some discussion about these, specifically the dating and Scott is sure that Pete & Charlie were up front, doing what is now Scott & Aaron's jobs. I will bow to the "Young Maynard" on that one.
At any rate, I dusted them off (No: Not literally) and shot a couple of photos. The 5 inch inch is handles in 'Ol green canvas micarta and has 3/8" scales! The 7" has some of my Brazilian rosewood, also in 3/8" thick handle material!
Hope this helps, Stay sharp:
Capt. Chris

Interesting knives, Captain. I hadn't seen anything like them before (excepting for the handles on the Crider Special).

Great knives Capt! I'm developing a love for 10s lately. Seems like there's no shortage of variations in this model.

Steve--

Stepping in here where I admit I don't know everything.

But, the Model 10 that initiated this thread was questioned because the handle scales had been contoured other than the standard cutout on the bottom for the forefinger.

Capt. Chris showed two Model 10's that had the slabs contoured, but done in different ways. That goes to show what might have been done back when they had more time to take a customer's request into account. Notice haw much thinker the slabs were on his two knives.

The standard Crider Special had a cutout top-and-bottom of the handle, but the thickness of the handle scales were not shaped/contoured otherwise. However, we might not be surprised to see one of these turn up.

They are neat knives, wish I had bought some of the "odd jobs" when I was seeing such stuff years ago--I might have had something to share if I had done so.

Larry

This just go to show us that even what we think of a standard knife has many variations.
Thanks to every one for sharing.
