I collect APFK Model #1's..... but I have a sleeper in the bunch.

This is a model #5 with a 7" blade. Note the lack of the finger dip on the spine at the hilt. The top edge is not sharpened...... but, it has a double hilt!

The handle is a great piece of stag with a brass pin.

The sheath is a wide flap Heiser.... Knife and sheath are early 50's.

I love those big "fish hook" choils from the 50's! I think the early 50's knives have the most elegant lines over all other periods.

That and the wide flap sheathes really do it for me.

Thanks Tom & Pat.... it's a cool piece.
