I ordered this #5-6" on 06/09/2004, and it arrived last Monday. The hilt is nickel silver, and there is etching on the blade.

You have the perfect "all around" knife. I have had mine, a Bradford Angier Model 5-5, since 1975, and have used it almost exclusively until lately. I did add a military type sheath that also holds a Leatherman and a Diamond Eze sharpener stick. I know you will enjoy using your new Model 5, congrats!

I received this #5-8" today from Randall dealer Wayne Jordan. I ordered an 8" because it was the only length #5 that I didn't own. Also, I have very few leather handled Randalls. Top bevel is sharpened.



Forgive the washed out brass furniture. There was a harsh, bright sun out and this was a hurried shot.

Gary, I have a Model 3-7 with the same handle configuration and hardware. I thought it was a little unusual because I don't see too many leather handles in a model 22 configuration. I really like the way the feels in my hand. Your 5-8 is really nice.

Excellent looking Model 5. Any Model 5 is 1st class in my eye.

I agree with Pappy.That model 5 looks like it needs to be used.

All are very nice. I especially like the stag on Ken's knife above. Beautiful!

I bought some fossil ivory at the Blade Show a couple of years ago. Just had the knife delivered last week. I was not home to take these pictures, I had my wife do that.
The fittings are fine silver from Precious Metals Fabrication.
In all honesty, the knife isn't as "great" as I had hoped. Maybe the FI isn't what I remember or maybe the pics don't do it justice.
But it is a Model 5 and I will keep it!!!!!
