EDO Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 1027 Loc: ITALY	Quote: Wonderful 3's Edo thanks for sharing them with us. Kevin Quote: Thanks Dale. Yours are great too! So many beautiful #3’s in this thread; Ron’s picture of old #3’s is phenomenal. But the one that really catches my eye is Edo’s, with the antique gold (?) Micarta and finger grips, brass butt plate and thong… wow. I’ve been thinking about what to order for my boys, now 12 and 13, as an identical set, name etched, to arrive for HS graduation. And I’ve been leaning toward the #3-5, but now I think I have the complete configuration. Just like Edo’s—spectacular, not too big, not too small—a real show piece, but a great user too. Perfect. I’ve always liked the pretty #3-5 in antique gold and finger grips Randall shows on the foldout in the catalog but I’m not sure I would have thought of the brass butt plate—seals the deal. Thanks, Gary Ps. That bottom picture of Dubie and Tiger screams for a caption… Something like, “OK! I’ll sign it! Just take it easy.” Thank you!! If you give me your email address I can send better pics. _________________________ RKCC CMI-002 RKS Member EDO Photo Contest

BoBlade Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 1673 Loc: Kalifornia	"Papa bear, Mama bear and Baby bear" Here's a 3 on steroids contrasted with a 3-7 and a 7-5 all from approximately the same era (late 50's / early 60's). The blade is 8 1/2" out of 3/8" stock. _________________________ Ron Mathews RKS No. 4223

7033grip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/10/05 Posts: 5148 Loc: Winter Haven, Florida	Ron, It "JUST" says Papa Bear? That's amazing. Was it stamped in from Maurice? I never heard of a personal stamping on the back of a Johnson sheath. Can you show us a picture? Andy Thornal had the only personal stamp on the front.

Topos Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/02/07 Posts: 556	Tom: Your "Everyone has seen this photo before but here it is again!" is as if one has to explain going back to view a Mondrian at the museum. An M1A1 and 1911 A1 , and even if you have to put a Randall on them [grin++], is always satisfying viewing. Thanks.
