Sorry to resurrect a 3 year old thread, but it's my thread, so I did it.

Today, I was reading The Story of Buck Knives, which is a book on the history of the company. On page 32, there is a testimonial from Ross Allen after using Buck knives on his expedition of the Okefenokee Swamp in the early 60s. Personally, I was thrilled to discover that Ross Allen was a Buck man as well and I would still like to know the configuration of Allen's Model 5 if anyone has new information.
