Very cool knife, Tune. The ruler was common on many dive knives in the 60s and 70s. smile

Just picked this up last week. A/2C Daniel L. Reider's RMK model #1.
All I know is he was a career Air Force guy and traveled extensively during his time in. What's your best guess on the era this was made. 50's ... 60's ... ???
What are the chances the sheath is original to knive?

I've looked thru a bunch of pics here and did not see many #1's with this style hilt.

Thanks,
Charlie

Late 1950's knife and sheath. The lugged hilt helps it stand out from the crowd, in a sea of Model 1's. Should have a grey stone in the pocket.

Nice find!

Here's one you won't see everyday. A WW2 Bolo in a Clarence Moore sheath. It has a Springfield butt cap and nut.

In 1943, Randall sales were exploding and a man named bill Larsen started making Springfield Randalls in Massachusetts under license from Bo Randall. He paid 50 cents per knife royalty. In his first payment to Bo he sent 100 butt caps and nuts as barter. Seeing a Spingfield butt on and Orlando blade is pretty rare.

Anyway.....it's cool!!!!!

Yes cool indeed, they ground out all the original choil. Some blades had special DNA. Thanks for the post.

Didn't suggest that. Think we're on a different page. Wasn't saying it was reground.
