Members,
It took me a bit of time to dig through The Captain's "STASH"...but I knew I still had this "3-fer" and wanted to share them with you.
The top #4-5" is the oldest and still has it's original Heiser sheath. The other "2" came later but are "still" 7-spacer knives..., sheathed in tight-stitched, Maurice Johnson, Baby dot snapped sheaths. These 2 are from the late 1960's-early 1970's.
All 3 were RMK shop-made, according to Pete. The lower one is interesting by it's much more unique blade shaping. Similar to a Bowles Special but 2 decades earlier. Just an interesting "trio"...I hope you agree.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

I am gonna offer an opinion. Unless a custom order, which is unlikely, it wouldn't be out of the question that that bottom knife was "tipped" and "repaired" at the shop. I believe ti started life as a model 4. Note the center bevel line is not in line with the tip as on the model 4's. I don't think RMK was making anything resembling a Green River Skinner prior to the Bowles knives that I have seen, until now

Joe,
I hear ya' and get where you're coming from..."but"..I had a #12-9" made at the shop in 1984 with a #18 style hilt Black micarta #14 style handle "&"...Tiny "sawteeth". It was not uncommon for the shop to custom-make a knife for a customer until late 1980's..."&" Pete remembered it. Could it have been a regrind of some type. Of course,,,,just sayin'.
Capt. Chris
PS: I sold that #12-9" to Glynn Martin (The guy who made the "original" wood-burnt signs. I saw it here, or FB, or Ebay for sale a few years back..."however"...in my defense, at that time...I always thought I'd be able to get another..???
