Thanks Chris.

Mitchell, any idea what year Bo first had access to Sambar stag? Your late 40s Robert Green fighter is obviously Sambar, but not sure about the two from 1943.

The 48 catalog mentions imported stag handle on the model 8. The older catalogs only say "stag horn". Good question. Ron and Joe would have a better idea than me.

Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. To the collecting community, it's like finding Lucy, or an 1804 silver dollar, or a Walker dragoon. Tune, I thought you'd hit it out of the park with the chain link #2, turns out that was just a dribble down the first base line. Your new fighter is going to be tough to top. Will you have it on your hip, at BLADE?

Wally, I am hoping to have enough information on the knife to create a worthy display in the RKCC area. Of course it will be available for show, tell and fondle!

Woo-hoo !

Wow!!!

That is a very cool knife.

Perfectly! Indeed treasure!

Only 3 finger grooves, since the index finger has its own place...

When you hold it as designed, it's very comfortable Wally....

It's also a large diameter handle which changed quickly when Bo changed to leather.

I bet it is comfortable, partly due to the teardrop shaped quillion.
