Merry Christmas to ME

Got my Christmas present today. A MINI 5! I am happier than all of Santa’s elves. Wood handle.
Model 5-4” just for reference.

What is the history of the Mini-5?

Looks to have rosewood.

Wonder when it was made?

And blade length?

Nice pair. Some of my favorites are Model 5-4's.

Great woods shared here.

My "favorite" natural material is stag for variety of color, texture, and long-term durability.

Second choice is wood because of the variety of color and reflectivity in grains of different species. And when it is stabilized it competes with stag for durability.

Glad to see the images in both threads.

No history and do not know DOB. The blade measurements 3 3/8” compared to 3 7/8” for the 5-4”.
Just another RMK mystery.
I corresponded with Pete Hamilton for a few years, back in the early 2000’s. He said he had seen or known of one. Can’t remember his exact words. One thing that stands out was, “ I would not buy one without a sheath”.
The sheath was a big factor in me buying it.

Rod! You did it! Now you're looking for a double S, right?

About the sheath(s).

The top one is obviously an after-market. I have some for user knives as well.

The bottom one is...from the shop? Is it marked on the back?

No Larry this is an after market sheath I got Brian/Treeman knives. The sheath fits in my front right pocket. I do have the original as well.

The bottom one is...from the shop? Is it marked on the back?

I do not know where is came from, other than the knife was stored in it, from the looks of the sheath. No markings on it. I ask, because I do not know, did any of the mini sheaths come from the "standard" sheath makers?
