Another oldie, but goodie from the collection I bought. This knife was featured in Hunt's first book. It's a 1943 chain link, model #2-7" in a Moore sheath. Both are in neat mint condition.
Gaddis states that Bo made 1245 knives in 1943. The first Model #2's were made in April, 1943. The assumption is that the chain link thong was replaced with a drilled thong in early 1944 when Bill Platts was hired.
If you had to guess, how many model #2's were made with chain link thongs?
