Wonderful 3's Edo thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks Dale. Yours are great too! So many beautiful #3’s in this thread; Ron’s picture of old #3’s is phenomenal. But the one that really catches my eye is Edo’s, with the antique gold (?) Micarta and finger grips, brass butt plate and thong… wow.

I’ve been thinking about what to order for my boys, now 12 and 13, as an identical set, name etched, to arrive for HS graduation. And I’ve been leaning toward the #3-5, but now I think I have the complete configuration. Just like Edo’s—spectacular, not too big, not too small—a real show piece, but a great user too. Perfect. I’ve always liked the pretty #3-5 in antique gold and finger grips Randall shows on the foldout in the catalog but I’m not sure I would have thought of the brass butt plate—seals the deal.

Thanks, Gary

Ps. That bottom picture of Dubie and Tiger screams for a caption…

Something like, “OK! I’ll sign it! Just take it easy.”




Thank you!!
If you give me your email address I can send better pics.

"Papa bear, Mama bear and Baby bear" Here's a 3 on steroids contrasted with a 3-7 and a 7-5 all from approximately the same era (late 50's / early 60's). The blade is 8 1/2" out of 3/8" stock.

Ron, you need that Model #3-4" I was showing to Tiger, to round that set out.

Did the sheath on Papa Bear say 3-8?

Tom: My plan is to ask Rick to scrim a pair of Zacharias fighters on your goggle lenses when you're not looking.

Dubie: Damned straight I need it! The Papa Bear sheath just says "Papa Bear"

Ron, It "JUST" says Papa Bear?

That's amazing. Was it stamped in from Maurice?

I never heard of a personal stamping on the back of a Johnson sheath. Can you show us a picture?

Andy Thornal had the only personal stamp on the front.

Dubie,

Please don't take me seriously when I put up a smiley face. That knife was made for display and didn't come with a sheath.

Tom:
Your "Everyone has seen this photo before but here it is again!" is as if one has to explain going back to view a Mondrian at the museum. An M1A1 and 1911 A1 , and even if you have to put a Randall on them [grin++], is always satisfying viewing. Thanks.
