Eric Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/18/15 Posts: 1668 Loc: Michigan	My latest Model 18. This one has a tang that extends 2 1/2 inches into the handle. I like the wavy teeth. I am guessing 67-68. Attachments ------ ------ ------ ------ _________________________ Eric

Shelley Knife Enthusiast Registered: 05/31/14 Posts: 144 Loc: New Zealand	Hey FLGearguy, I have used my O1 #18 5.5 to baton through seasoned hardwood, and soft pine as well, just to see if it could really, all I can say is bye bye baton, it gets seriously chewed up by the saw teeth, but the handle and blade are still as strong as before, no play no damage so problem.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12884 Loc: Central Florida	1970's or 1980's. More than likely from late 1970's until around mid 1980's. I just picked up the big brother to it, postmarked shipping (USPS) & a post card from the Randall shop, initialed by Gertrude Landing (Ms. Landing, I always called her) from 1977. Nice knife you have there Peter! Best, Capt.
