Ron & Mike,

Here's a 7-5 that was just listed on eBay. Look at the difference in the spacing of the hone pockets. There's more space above the hone pocket on the Jim's sheath which makes it look like a sheath for a 6 inch blade. Why is that? Also, the hone pocket on Jim's sheath is sewn on three sides. The eBay sheath is sewn with the sheath edge.

For comparison, here's a 3-6 from eBay.

The top knife has been damaged, look at the edge. I bet it's been shrunk down a bit length included.

Good eye, Tom! There's something else: A Model 7 should have a small stamp (The newly listed e-bay 7-5 has this). It looks like Jim's stamp is the standard. Could be something to Ben's observation that the blade has been altered in some way after it left the shop. The other e-bay 3-6 you posted a photo of is a 4-6.

I'd still like to hear from Jim on the sheath numbers and the handle and blade length.

Best,

Ron

Good eye on the stamp, Ron! I couldn't tell if the bottom knife had a slight hump or not (maybe I'm seeing things I want to see crazy), but the sheath is marked 3 6, which I believe was interchangeable with the Model 4 at the time.

We need Jim to chime in one more time and solve the mystery.

All,
Sorry for the slow reply. Been on the road for two days. The back of the sheath is stamped with 3 and 6

Thanks, JF. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so sure about things and this is one of those times. blush

Best,

Ron

Ron,
I absolutely "wasn't sure" and that's why I mentioned that no one had "asked the question". If you think about it, that's just one more cool thing about the "oldies". You can't "cookie cutter" one model.
Thanks to all who posted and commented on this interesting piece. It's part of what gives this forum "the glue".
Capt. Chris
