That looks like a Model #5 Joe. Nice knife. I have a 7 spacers Old Yeller I'll dig up and shoot for the purpose of showing people one from that era.
Best, Capt. Chris

That's what makes it so rare -- it's a model 14 that looks like a model 5. You don't see those everyday. grin

Dennis,
Looks like white lineal micarta to me. White lineal micarta was used by the shop for a very short period of time. It fell between the disastrous "white crap" that the shop tried as a replacement for Old Yeller. That stuff checked up and there are more than a few knives out there that show these faults. I recently re-handled a Bear Bowie-#12-8" because of it and that has already been shown on this forum (BMK did the handle/ Amy the sheath).
Lineal micarta was replaced by AGM and the Model #10-3", shown below, is the only example I have of it in my STASH. Rare? Probably. Scarce? For sure! Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
PS: It isn't as yellow, in real life, as it looks but it has yellowed over time...CCS
Best, Capt. Chris

Interesting. The description for this material shows a darker color than either my handle (middle) or the Captain's handle (bottom). I suppose there are many possible variations due to age, light exposure, etc.
