W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	Originally Posted By: rodbrown Don't know if my lousy photos will help or not. Here are a 5-5, 5-6, 5-7, all with sawteeth. And a 5-8 with STN grind. The 5-5's sawteeth are the regular grind, when they were available. As the Cap said, that is not what you get if you order a 5-5 today. Folks, Rod asked me to help post these pics. File size Rod was too large to upload. Hope this helps folks, good luck! As always Rod is the Randall 5 Guy! Attachments ------ ------ _________________________ Warren

spark42 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/14/13 Posts: 782 Loc: Kentucky	D) Model #5 built as a combination: Carry & camp chores Not a big fan of saw teeth "but" that middle knife of yours Billy is outstanding. Guess I"m not to old to improve on my opinion. Dennis _________________________ RKS #4298 RKCC #CM057

Brent Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/06/16 Posts: 299 Loc: Mid Michigan	D) Also not a fan of sawteeth. If I need to saw or chop, I have dedicated tools for that, not to mention it saves an option. _________________________ Where ever you go, there you are

desert.snake Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/25/13 Posts: 1155 Loc: the other side of the earth	D) Model #5 built as a combination: Carry & camp chores I think, better 8, it's better chops. Work on wood, such as working with snares and the like, it's more like a hunter. Maybe I'm not entirely right, but I recently made a knife with a 23 cm blade for myself, this quite normal size. _________________________ Si vis pacem, para bellum

JE6245 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/02/14 Posts: 1064 Loc: Tallahassee FL	I have a 5-8 that I really like but, for me, I think it would be a little too large even as a camp knife. I pulled out a 5-6 last night to check it out and it seems to me to be plenty long enough for camp but not too long to carry. It has a walnut handle, finger grips and squared hilt and feels very good in the hand. So, I guess that means a vote for "D". _________________________ Jim E. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra Me 2020

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12867 Loc: Central Florida	I don't know the exact configuration Rick but I am sure it was a 6 inch blade. Several friends of mine, in Ocala, were friends with Ross and knew him from The Springs. All claim the knife was a 6 inch Model #5. They could be wrong but probably not. Best, Capt.
