Responding for Scott. Has to be addressed.
What a revolting development this has become.
Hey Scott,
The provenance has nothing to do with me.
The manufactured traits like RMK stamp, serif number stamps, no front edge beveling has documented provenance as shown by Gary Clintons examples. It illustrates, with proof that the sheath was made in 1960. Way before Maurice Johnson.
How did 1960 enter the equation? 1962 is the year that HKL sent their last shipment of sheaths. 1962 is the year GTR found MJ. 1962 is the year that the actual switch was consummated. So why is 1960 even part of this discussion?
Joe puts pictures of sheaths with those same manufactured characteristics out there, states that they are Johnson made. OK, fine. Where is the proof that they were made by Johnson? Just because he says so? Just observations? Hunches? Wouldn't hold up in court Scott.
I can't.............say it........caaan't.........saaay.........it
Am I lacking in communication skills, or are there some in this forum that don't understand the meaning of the word provenance?
Friggin BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to the first, and a big no to the second. Most everyone knows what provenance is expect you.
That is ALL I am asking, and I just get pictures saying its so. Talk about twilight zone!
Unfortuately, you are not
asking anything. You are demanding. You are lecturing, mostly about subjects you know little about.
He already states that many were made by HKL.
Yep, many were, and the difference between the two makers is pretty clear.
The East facing, and west/horizontal facing stamped sheaths for the most part are very different. Thus different sheath maker.
Thanks Scott
No, thank you for clearing that mystery up. I guess we can all sleep easier tonight.
