TAH Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/26/05 Posts: 2382 Loc: USA	Dumb Question Alert! I have read that the reason sawteeth vary in size on the Model 18 is due to the age of the "wheel" that cuts them. Why do the sawteeth on these different vintage Model 5s appear to be the same small size? In other words, why don't we see Model 5s with large sawteeth? _________________________ Tom RKS #4233

Billy Poyner Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/25/11 Posts: 2184 Loc: Mississippi	It is my understanding that teeth on the 18 are cut to be straight up and down and other knifes at an angle.Read that somewhere or was told to me.Can be verified by disclaimed by Scott,Capt etc.Have quiet a few with saw teeth including a couple of 5's _________________________ Billy Poyner RKCC CM 021 RKS 5030 NRA Endowment Proud to have served my country 67-69

W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	Looks like the teeth on 5's are set to cut on a pull stroke. On 18's either push or pull. That what I see, could be totally wrong. _________________________ Warren

Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5414 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	I would guess that the grinder "wheel" gets changed at a certain level or depth of use. Maybe gets used on other projects so the teeth stay more uniform. _________________________ See Ya, Chief RKCC CM-037 RKS #5154 If you put off following The LORD just remember......They don't serve breakfast in hell!

W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	But the point being depth and angle of cut of teeth appear different. Take another look at 18's and 5's. Survey says..... _________________________ Warren

Dirty_Water Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 2302 Loc: central fl.	Tom you are correct...size depends on the sharpness of the wheel, and even how much wheel is left the process...since we do not do very many Sawteeth in the front room, the wheel tends to be a newer wheel and we are able to keep the teeth more of a fine cut. We also purposely tend to make the teeth fine for the front room knives (not 14 room)... _________________________ ---DW--- Scott RKS #014 HE IS RISEN!, HE IS RISEN INDEED!

LarryWW1246 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/20/06 Posts: 1855	To all-- About three years ago at Blade, I saw an older Model 1-5 stag with sawteeth. I should have measured and counted the teeth--they were small, and maybe as many as 16-per-inch! I kick myself for continuing to look at all the stuff this dealer was putting out--when I turned back another dealer had stepped in and piled this knife and several others aside to buy them.

mic214 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 05/27/08 Posts: 239 Loc: Colorado	My dad’s birthday is coming up next month. He has been wanting a Randall for a while, so all us kids got together and got him a Model 5-4. It just arrived today and it looks beautiful! The stag on this one is awesome:) _________________________ Mick Olson
