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.

"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.

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.
