I was speaking more of the fact, with regards to Burnie's knife and sheath combination, Ron. That sheath certainly has Johnson traits...and, just for the record, dude: We are both way..."WAY" too young to have been in the shop in 1960!!
Best, Capt. Chris

Chris,

Could it be that Burnie's sheath has "Johnson traits" because Johnson copied Heiser (who in turn copied Moore)?





I could of been in the shop in '60, but I would have probably been picking my nose and getting in Bill Platts' way

You "still" pick your nose...and, no question about copy-cats. In all fairness to Maurice Johnson, he was a fine sheath maker and did a great job for the Randall shop. I was speaking more of the stamps, logos, model and blade length denotations, etc.
Burnie: Lost in all of this (well maybe not lost, but on the back burner)...NICE KNIFE!!
Best, Capt. Chris

Great comparison! You convinced me at least until something better comes along.

Thanks Capt.

However I'm still confused Is my sheath Heiser? Johnson?

Thanks, Stephen. Great job with those comparisons! I wish I could answer your question, but I have no clue.
