It also has a branded top snap which is not present on my other Heiser’s. Bottom photos compares it with the sheath of of one of my other 4-7’s.

BoBlade Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 1673 Loc: Kalifornia	You're welcome, Dwight. I'm always happy to shed some light if I can. If you have Pete's book, that sheath I mentioned is identical to yours in terms of snaps. _________________________ Ron Mathews RKS No. 4223

coachblalock Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/03/16 Posts: 1874 Loc: Lake Fork, East Texas	Brand new from last week! Model #4-7 with lots of curve. Black Micarta commando handle with nickel silver hardware I can see myself using this'un to slice Brisket, Beef Ribs, and/or Baby Backs! Attachments ------ _________________________ "Filet that fish?

LarryWW1246 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/20/06 Posts: 1862	Coach-- Wonder if they would grind it with the trademark side of the blade left flat, and the bevel on the opposite side only?!? That would help right-handers life me slice straight. Larry _________________________ Larry W. Williams RKCC #CM-041 ABKA #046 RKS #1246

coachblalock Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/03/16 Posts: 1874 Loc: Lake Fork, East Texas	Well Larry, I never thought about goin’ that far with it! I was just gonna put an edge on it that would shave frog hair and go at it like that! Brisket, Beef Ribs, & Baby Backs can be et with a crooked cut just as good as a straight one.

crutchtip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 2851	Originally Posted By: BoBlade It's a surplus Korean War era Heiser 1-8 sheath that the shop cut down to 7" and used for 3-7's and 4-7's. I've seen more than a half dozen over the years. There is one in Pete's book on page 70 bottom left corner. I have an interesting question for folks to ponder. When Ron says "the shop", he doesn't mean the Randall shop. So, what "shop" do you guys think did the work? Heiser? Local? Discuss. _________________________ www.rmkcollector.com BUY-SELL-TRADE
