Heavily modified 14 in a model 1 sheath?

GRI, I meant no harm to you when I first stated that the knife was "definitely" a 14...I was using your description for clarification. I apologize for sounding as if it was an attack, please forgive me...

And Welcome to the forums, there is a wealth of knowledge here waiting to expunge...

Scott, you are a true southern gentleman.

Well just a dog-gone minute there Buddy.. No need for attacking me now!! Us Bostonians are thin-skinned u know?!?

I would like to see the comparison pics with a Model 14...

Definitely a 14 with a cut down guard and modified handle. And a relatively late Johnson Mod. 1 sheath.
Welcome to the forum.

can someone repost the photo? I can't get it to show

here you go

You are indeed a gentleman Scott, especially for apologizing when you were not at fault. It was that cocky "believe what you want" comment that was the problem in my opinion. I hate to disparage anyone on the forum, especially a new person, but I think that was a bad way to get started on here. I have definitely learned here that it's always best to be cautious and open minded about what you "think" you know about RMK's.
