Wally, I apologize for not having any photos but I made a pair of Model #1's for a customer back in the mid 1980's. "Both" knives (1 in 6" & 1 in 8") were special-ordered with "C" style sheath as well as "reduced hilts". Both sheaths had "handle-wrap" keeper straps. One, BTW. was tight-stitched and one was not! I have ordered 1 or 2 more over the past 4 decades since...but scarce, to be sure, they are! Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
With the picture quality being what it is, nailing the sheath down may be just wishful thinking. Does the position of the stone pocket tell us anything? Anyone think it's a 6 inch blade?

We need "Larry W" (or one of those "engineer types) for this one. Using a ruler and comparing the handle length (which should be 4 3/4" or so) to the blade length of the sheath leads me to a 7" knife. Of course: Your mileage may vary! Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Might be a 6", depending on where the point of the blade bottoms out.
