W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	I'm taking a second look at the "oddity" Cap is speaking about. First I thought it might be the camera angle but if Perry authenticated that knife as a 20 and I'm not disputing the fact, that blade does not have the "belly" and profile of a 20 as we know it. The whipped cream is that awesome caramel stag and fingertips. Now that would be a rare knife in every sense of the word. That sheath almost looks like it would work with a 8-4X.

I think it was ordered by a customer for specific task, probably surgically cutting around the anus of a critter and then having a decent amount of belly to allow for fast, easy skinning! It would only make sense that a "one-off" sheath was needed as it would have rattled around pretty good in a standard #20 sheath. Old Maurice did a good job...I think! Glad ya'll like it. I do too!

Because my camera and I don't always get along, I don't have any up to date pics. Here is an old pic of a couple older Model 5's. One is dressed as a fighter.

If I have a few hundies to throw around, I'm buying a knife not camera stuff! _________________________ Pat Remele RKS#4413 SHAG# 8 RKCC# CM096 NRA Member

Not as "flash" as Mitchell's or Billy's, though. I have a decent small camera and my wife has a bells and whistles Canon. Truthfully I am lazy and not really interested in photography! Your correct, knives are more fun than cameras. _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.
