I have not idea how you draw on a picture like that. But thanks. It is a great way to eliminate possibilities.

Was it bought from Showtime??? Just kidding, that is a really cool #11 for sure. Has anyone contacted GTR or anyone at the shop to make a statement about it? Regardless, it is a real neat RMK and a cool design.

Well...for one thing, 1/2" or better would have to becut back at the tang end. Look how much farther out the trademark is on your outline. Also the angle is much more severe...or not? Who knows. Looks like a #12-8 at the hilt traveling upward...not an #11.
...to me anyway, Capt. Chris

Folks,
I was simply talking about the grind.
I do no have another, older #11 to illustrate if there was a change or not.
It origionally was just a shot for the build that Capt is doing.
It has nothing to do with the knife, and if the grind diffeence has been discussed before, then please, forgive me.
:-)Rocky

Rocky,
There is nothing to forgive. If I remember this knife from before it is a vague memory. (Something that occurs more and more these days) I think your Father picked it up, second-hand? If so, who knows (or wll ever know) the exact origin of this blade. It sure has way-cool old micarta and spacers...and it's a "keeper" in your eyes. That's all that really matters.
One thing a lot of folks do not know (and I am just reminding myslf of) is this: Gary Randall's first "job", when he started making knives for Bo, was cutting thumb notches! That little bit of trivia gives this thread some legs!
Best, Capt. Chris

Seeing Ron's post of the old thread brought up a question.

rocky, how long has your father had it?

the reason I ask, that knife or one like it was at the Blade Show for several years. IIRC, it may have changed hands a few times at the show over a several year period. I don't think it had a sheath with it though. So that would indicate there was more than one like it unless a sheath was added if your knife and the knife at Blade are one in the same.

Crutch,
I know it costs $100, but ths knife looks like an "authentication candidate". It could be very bad...or very good news!
Best, Capt. Chris

The consensus here doesn't seem to be whether the knife is right or wrong, but rather how, when or why it looks like it does. All authentication is going to do is cost Rocky or his Dad $130-140, once you factor in shipping both ways. Waste of money. In the end, they still have the same knife and probably no more info than what has been spoken of here, at no cost. I agree with Pappy, cool knife. Rocky's Dad has good taste grin
