I think I want to have a large Sasquatch to go with my Kilt. By the way I need my kilt resized as I went from 220 to 139, doesn't want to stay up very well.

Thanks actually feeling pretty good the last few weeks or so. Can't put on any weight but haven't been losing any more. I'm just really tired all the time.

Here's an interesting 7 spacer 2-8 from my same friend. Take a close look at the orientation of the handle relative to the (double) stamp:

Ron,
It appears your model #2 may have an etched trademark over the remnants of a stamped TM. As I understand it, the etched trademarks have been commonly used when the initial stamped TM is unsuitable and must be removed. Does this model #2 have left handed finger grips?

It appears the handle was put on "backwards" if you will. In othere words, with right hand grips, the logo should be on the obverse side of the blade. In this case, it is on the reverse side.

Rick / Joe,

Here are my friend's comments "I asked Gary Randall if the logo wasn't on the wrong side but he said no, "The handle is on upside down". It's also got a severe double logo stamping".
My own comment: It's most likely the handle was put on upside down, but the knife seems to be circa '58-72 and I'm thinking it's "possible" that during that time if a guy ordered left hand fingergrips that Bo may have accomodated him.
