crutchtip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 2851	Purchased in 1950 is a 2-7 named and documented to a Korean and Viet Nam war vet. From the original owner. One of the very early ones when I started to really get into documented knives. Note the blued blade. Good story on this one posted on the website: http://www.rmkcollector.com/knives-collector-interest/joseph-h-red-comptons-model-2 Attachments ------ _________________________ www.rmkcollector.com BUY-SELL-TRADE

desert.snake Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/25/13 Posts: 1162 Loc: the other side of the earth	By the way, the model 2 is very similar to a dagger of Tutankhamen. Especially the one of stainless meteoric iron (10% Ni, 0.6% Co). We can it even repeat in miniature (original 13" blade): stainless, reduced hilt, 8 inch blade, concave handle, smooth collar and gold G10 or G11 / FR5 Glass-Cloth Reinforced Epoxy Quote: FR5 Glass-Cloth Reinforced Epoxy NEMA grades G11 and FR5 Glass-Cloth Reinforced Epoxy - natural color is typically yellow green to amber. This grade is similar to G10/FR4 but has a higher operating temperature and superior mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The main difference between NEMA Grades G11 and FR5 is that FR5 is a fire retardant grade of G11. Attachments ------ ------ _________________________ Si vis pacem, para bellum
