I think you are right on Attila. Nice knife!

mid 70's to early 80's

Joe, assuming that stone is original, it would have phased out by the mid 70's, no?

Yeah, it would be on the early side of the date range, but as you know "earlier" stones dribbled out on occasion. I am wondering whether the stone is original or not. Not a big deal.

You started to see that spacer arrangement on non-leather handles around 1973 or so and it ran until around 1984. I should have been a bit more clear as that was the range for the spacers, not necessarily the date that particular knife. Also, ivorite really didn't come into its own until 1976-77.

Good stuff, thanks for elaborating.

Thanks a lot for all the precious informations!!... And how about this one? same as the #3-6"??

You should probably post these questions in the general forum

Attila, Yes, it's very much the same as the model #3.

The white (unmarked) stone, is that the A.G.Russell stone?

That is what I have always called it Wally.......
