My latest Model 18. This one has a tang that extends 2 1/2 inches into the handle. I like the wavy teeth. I am guessing 67-68.

Anyone know of any issues with the Model 18s handle's snapping off?

Thanks,

Patrick

Easy to see that blade started life as a humpback.
Nice 18.

Hey FLGearguy, I have used my O1 #18 5.5 to baton through seasoned hardwood, and soft pine as well, just to see if it could really, all I can say is bye bye baton, it gets seriously chewed up by the saw teeth, but the handle and blade are still as strong as before, no play no damage so problem.

Here is my #18-5.5 smile
Am I correct to guess it's from the 80ies?

1970's or 1980's. More than likely from late 1970's until around mid 1980's. I just picked up the big brother to it, postmarked shipping (USPS) & a post card from the Randall shop, initialed by Gertrude Landing (Ms. Landing, I always called her) from 1977. Nice knife you have there Peter!
Best, Capt. Chris
