Brass hilt, leather handle and peened tang. 2nd a late 40's early 50's 5-8, NSH, leather handle and peened tang as well. Neither of these knives came with sheaths, so now I am on the hunt for sheaths for both of them. 3rd knife is a 6 option 5-6 with Ironwood. Shipped from the Shop a while ago, but I only got it at Blade.

Michael_Mason Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/12/06 Posts: 1937 Loc: Orlando, FL.	I didn't know you were a Model 5 fan Rod, is this something new ?? I have a Model 25 with shop supplied ironwood that has that orangeish tint to it too. I like the looks of that wood. Nice knife. _________________________ Michael

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2144 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Thanks you all for the comments. I think finding at least one sheath for the old 5's will be one of the most difficult/longest searches in my RMK collecting "career". Peter, I had got the knife on Thursday morning and left it at the hotel the rest of the Show. I did not want you to be stressed over an Ironwood knife that was not yours. Besides it could be embarrassing to see two grown men wrestling over a knife at the Blade Show! Truthfully I forgot about bringing it back to the Show. _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.

Good move on leaving it the hotel as more of us than Peter would have been after that lil Beauty!!! _________________________ Steve Daugherty RKCC CM #051 NRA Member FlA Knife Makers Assoc.

tunefink Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 4068 Loc: Bambalam	I think it's worth noting that Rod has officially moved to the dark side.... "40's knives" It is a slippery path that leads to no good...... except more knives. All kidding aside, Rod scored two of the oldest model 5's I have seen in just two weeks. Yes, he has a sheath hunt on his hands...... _________________________ Always, buying, selling and trading. www.randallmadeknife.com
