That's a keeper Dave. Great knife!

Ooh boy, it's fantastic knives...

This is a Model 1 with a handle of stabilized Spalted Maple and nickel silver hardware. Spalting is the result of fungal attack and the tree responds to it by creating barriers that result in black lines and interesting wood patterns. Maple shows this characteristic better than most wood. The spalted wood is usually stabilized since the fungal attack may result in the wood being too soft for knife handles.

Great model 1, I really like figured wood and that is an excellent piece on the handle

I'd like to add a recent addition...this Model #1-6".. to 'The Knife of the week thread'

Here's a few more Model #1-7" knives to add to the thread.

Rex,
Great collection. The #1 is my favorite also. I have been trying to find a few of the vietnam models for my collection. Thanks for showing.

Very nice #1's Rex. I really like those Vietnam Veterans.

Rex,
Those #1s are Number One!
I especially like the first one with the leather handle. A Classic!
