thanks George,

I love the hunt and as soon as I date the knife I will start the hunt of the correct sheath.

Well Bill, that looks like mine. I bet they are the same time period. I have a late 60's sheath but it is a 8-4S and won't fix the knife, to short. what year is your?

Nice knife you have there Bill.

You must have a sheath that fits the old grind Model 8.

Here is a custom 8-4X sitting in one of the safes.

do you know the year they changed from the old style grind to the current grind like yours and mine? I think I need a Maurice Johnson rough back to match the knife.

Max, the 1962 catalog shows the old grind and the 1963 shows the new..... so there abouts.

Powers was carrying and old style in 60 when he was shot down..... I do remember that.

thanks Tune,

I have always wondered about that and never thought to ask.

I'll write that down in my Randall log book. I try to keep track of this type of information.
