Joe,

Nice model 1 from the 40's! Do you have the original sheath?? If so, what does it look like?

IMO its from 1946-47 based on the thick spacers, brown button snaps, right handed sheath, and sheath rivets.

Here's a pretty little Fisherman-Hunter that came up on e-bay about 3 years ago. Any comments?

No useful comments, but ones of appreciation for sure. My favorite model is the 8 just because of the overall shape of the blade, but the 7 is close behind (when it comes down to it, more like tied ). It has the graceful shape of a model 3, but being so delicate makes it a great user design. The ones I have are so light and well balanced that they are a pleasure to hold and use. There's no real effort needed to use them. One thing I have noticed about the guards on these older knives, like this one, is that they have a slight upward sweep to them where you put your thumb (haven't seen this look on the new ones). The last older 7 that I added has the same shape to the guard on it... reminds me of the old Scagel look. I love it! There are lots of interesting things about the knife you posted, the handle (ivory?), the pin, spacers, and the sheath jump right out at you. Do you have this knife in your collection? Although I cannot comment on when it was made, it's most definitely a nice one.

Guys,
GREAT KNIVES!! Thanks for posting them..
Ron,
Is the sheath Heiser or Moore? The stone pocket flap seems to follow the contour of the button.I think it's Heiser because the Moore sheaths followed closer to the button???
Great knife..
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!

What does that stone say on it? What are the demensions of the stone?




IMO that is the rarest of all Randall stones "Black label No.1 Washita Pen Knife Piece". I've only seen three of them. Coincidentally all with ivory handled Field Knives from the '47'- 48 timeframe.

Killer knife, Steve!

I'm looking for at least one more comment. Anyone else?

Thanks

Steve,
That's a beautiful example of an old 7 too. You guys have got me wishing I had a little extra money to spend, I'd go shopping for one.

Ron,
From this angle it looks like a model 4.

Ron,
That's what's so great about seeing these oldies.I wish we could handle them as that's the way to really learn.
Most of the Moore sheaths I've seen have less leather around the button.The sheath I saw last week looked almost identical,at first I thought Moore,stamped Heiser.
Great learning.....
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
