I got it !
Please Capt. tell me if this little #5-5 is same age of Rod B. #5-4
I do love those old line...handle is perfectly matching blade lines...elegant...balanced...really well done !
A) carbon 5" blade
B) thumb notches
C) 7 spacers
D) BLK micarta
E) fingers grips
F) unlined thonge drill
G) butterfly rough back sheath marked 5 5

I do have three little #5-4 nice but newer than Rod one.
Ron, your little 5 is a beauty and...5-4 sheath with pocket is a plus...

"Vintage" looks similar Guido. Of course, there's no way of knowing exact dates. Terrific knife.
Best, Capt. Chris
