Rod!!!
...YOU ARE THE KING OF 5s!
Nice!
Tony

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I looked at my spreadsheet of RMK and over 1/3 of my collection is Model 5's. Peter you a correct, 5's are my favorite.

I am back in Canada next month and will endeavour to try and take some decent pics of the 5's, at least.

If any of you have pics of 5's with old yellow or discontinued AGM would you please post a picture. I only have one yellow micarta handled 5, which is a BearCamp Special. Picture attached.

Finding an Old Yellow or AGM 5 is high on my Christmas wish list. Of course my wish list happens to run 365 days a year!!!

I also have attached a picture of an Old Brown Micarta, Low S 5-6 that a bought a few years ago.

Hi Rod
Here is my model 5 6" with AGM
It is currently at the shop getting a wrist thong and a black left hand sheath. I wanted a compass too, but the handle is a little too narrow for it to look good. It should be back before the end of the year. This was one of the knives that I luckily obtained at this years shop sale

Great Old Brown Rod! I remember the day you bought that.... what a find!

Rod,

that BearCamp Special is simply gorgeous!
I love the way the FG are shaped

Best, Peter

Thank you for the kind words. I could not pass on buying it, when I saw the knife. I think it is a beautiful knife. As a bonus, it is serial number 1.

This picture is for you. I bought a light box when I was in Canada a week or so ago. I did experiment with the light box, but my photos are still pretty poor. The pic was taken without the light box.
I took this pic of all my 5's with my Olive wood handled one at the center in your honor.
As well, I have 4 blocks of Olive wood back in Canada, I hope to get stabilized next year. The plan, in the next year or two is to have a handful of Olive wood 5's.

Hey Rod ...
I LOVE IT ! THANKS!
Really nice photo! And YOU are the King Of Fives!!!!
And soon to be the Oligarch of Olive Wood!

Rod,
Great shot! I don't know where you got it, but I am fairly sure I used to own that old #5-7" at the bottom (6 o'clock position) of the photo. I had a #5-7" a #1-7" and a #2-7" to match. All had tight-stitched roughbacks with that maple burl for handles. I think (again..memory? What memory?) I believe I sold them to collector in the Ft. Pierce/Pt. St. Lucie area of Florida. There's a possibility it is not the same #5...but it sure looks like it! Great collection.
Best, Capt. Chris

Hi Rod
Great collection of knives

If we were closer I would give you a high-five
You seem to have mission to be the king of #5's
