Hole diameter too large, non chamfered, evidence of exit delamination. Not shop done.

I recently obtained this 1970's Model 2-5" separate S,Packawood, NS hilt and NS butt cap. Supposedly this was a special order knife by Frank Centofonte who made himself a knife with the Packawood and is unusual. Thoughts?

Mike -

I don't think that is a separate "S"

It was sold to me as a separate S but the small stamp and distance to the hilt, it isn't as pronounced. I may have to send it to you.

Pap

small stamp only had a small 'S' that was inclusive to the logo as is yours.

Small stamp with separate "S" used the standard size "S"

Thanks for that information. Still a 1970's build, yes?

Pap

without having in hand I would appear to be the case

I don’t remember those thick spacers in the 70’s. I love em and wish they still used them.

Duke McCaa and I made a little trip to pick up some hardware which would qualify as "These Old Randalls"

What is the last knife? Also, about what age?
