I think the maker was William Henry (or something like that). He had a shop in Eustis and often cloned a Randall pattern. The "pattern" perhaps...but not the "quality". Johnson made sheaths for a boatload of folks...this guy included.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Blade grind, spacers, etc. are totally different than you would see on the Randall. I just want to know who this guy, "James Thorpe" was. Think the seller got "Raymond Thorpe","Jim Bowie", and "Jim Thorpe" mixed up?...CCS
