Great looking knife Wally - liking the 105 in the background.

Wally,

That's a beauty!

I would carry that anyday. I am a "Lefty" too, so that set up would work for me just fine…

Nice old 60's 1-6 brownie. This one looks to have the same shallow choil as my 5-8 earlier in the thread and I'll have to get a comparison photo of the two posted.

Wow Dwight looks new. Great find.

Hey boomer, even though your choils are shallower they still make a pretty sharp turn. With that west facing stamp and leather characteristics, plus the bottom quillion is a bit longer than the top, im gonna guess 1960.

Yeah, i looked on pg 137? You five has identical choils. As 62, 63, 64 came along the angle thinned out.

Blade grind changed in 1963 with a larger ricasso, with a byproduct of a different choil shape.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Here's a side by side with the 5-8.

I am drooling over that Model 5, fantastic.

Yeah, no kidding Pappy gorgeous pair of vintage Randall's. Good for you Dwight, congrats.
