Here is another shot of my son's #5-6":

Here is a Flush of Model 5 knives made with 4-, 6-, and 8-inch versions, and with "5" and "7" cards to finish it off:

Here is a scan of the Bradford Angier #5-6" knife that appeared in the 09/1972 issue of "The American Rifleman" magazine:

In my opinion there is no such thing as a "bad Brad", as the Brad is the all time all around knife for almost everything. Again, if there was one Randall knife that I had to pick over all of my collection, it would be my 1975 Brad, no question.

I would like to add an awesome knife to this fantastic thread:
5-6" TS, black micarta, squared nickel silver hilt, lined thong hole, white faced compass, JRB sheath, unmarked salmon stone
I am enthusiastic

Litch, that's a beautiful late 70's combination.

Those old Maurice Johnson sheaths age well.

I posted this knife before on some thread but for the life of me I can't remember where. Anyway, this is another reason to post your knives in Knife Of The Week so they can be found. The original configuration of this 5-5 had just a plain stag handle and for all accounts was pretty much a stock knife with a nice fat stag handle. So one day I sent it to the shop for a face-lift and had finger grips, a thong hole and a compass installed. When it came back, I honestly thought they sent me the wrong knife. A total transformation that made a just an OK looking Randall into something really slick. These are some options I recommend if you're a little tired of one that you might have, and to dress it up a bit for just a fraction of a new knife cost.

Best,
Warren
