Wally Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/08/06 Posts: 2444	Whatever the count is, (pretty sure it's not 7 spacers) it's not standard. So, getting the count right maybe wasn't such a big deal, or could there be another reason? Regardless, it's an oddball.

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2121 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Wally The SS blade marking would make the blade be 1963 ish vintage. If the handle is leather, the spacers should be 3 thick, 2 thin.

BoBlade Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 1673 Loc: Kalifornia	Looks odd because of one thicker than norm red spacer. There were some thickness variations over the years coming from different suppliers. The further you go back in time, the more often you see them. Likely the guy who assembled this one grabbed some spacer stock that had been sitting in the barrel quite a while. Nice knife. _________________________ Ron Mathews RKS No. 4223
