Well, I guess I better get it out of the safe and take another look at it. I bought it in an Amoskeag auction a couple of years ago. It was described as a Combat Companion. I think the sheath is stamped CC on the back, but I will look and get back to you.

I believe it to be a Model #5 Bruce. The "CC" with sawteeth is forged and cut differently. If that is Johnson roughback, it would be rare in "CC"? I do not recall one, as the non-catalog denotation and entry into it for the Combat Companion was later??
Curious? Not impossible, just curious.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Capt. Chris - I was mistaken. The sheath is stamped 5 5 on the back (and it is roughback). I have attached more photos of the blade and the back of the sheath. Do you think the sheath and knife are correctly matched? It wouldn't be the first time I bought a knife with a non-original sheath.
I guess I'll have to change my designation of this one to a #5-5!
Thanks for your comments and the photos.

- Bruce Buckner

I think that "mistake" worked to your advantage Bruce. That knife/sheath package is as right as rain and, in my opinion, came from the shop...just the way it sits?
Nice knife, Capt. Chris
PS: Johnny Johnson roughback...not the old man...CCS

Capt. Chris--

For us novices, and to help us keep track...

1. When did the CC start production?
2. If we order a Model 5 with Teeth, what are our choices in blade length?
3. I vaguely recall that these days if we order a Model 5 with teeth that we are going to get the CC forging and not the Model 5 forging. Is that true?

Thanks for clarifying.

Larry

CC with teeth only holds true for a 5" Model #5. 6, 7 or 8" are cut on Model #5 blanks. The RKCC version of the CC was early 1990's or perhaps a bit later, if memory serves me. A search of the RKS CD's would probably cut the time guessing out. It was a couple of years past those that the CC came into play as a non-catalog model.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
