I know this will surprise the heck out of most of you, but I acquired a couple of Model 5's at or just before the Blade Show.

1st off a post war 5-7. Brass hilt, leather handle and peened tang.
2nd a late 40's early 50's 5-8, NSH, leather handle and peened tang as well. Neither of these knives came with sheaths, so now I am on the hunt for sheaths for both of them.
3rd knife is a 6 option 5-6 with Ironwood. Shipped from the Shop a while ago, but I only got it at Blade.

Nice knives, I can see why you didn't show me the one with ironwood at the Blade Show, as I might have grabbed it from you.

I didn't know you were a Model 5 fan Rod, is this something new ?? grin

I have a Model 25 with shop supplied ironwood that has that orangeish tint to it too. I like the looks of that wood. Nice knife.

Rod,
Great #5s!

That 6 option 5 with the ironwood is crazy cool!
The top bevel makes it look a little like a #15.

Thanks you all for the comments. I think finding at least one sheath for the old 5's will be one of the most difficult/longest searches in my RMK collecting "career".

Peter, I had got the knife on Thursday morning and left it at the hotel the rest of the Show. I did not want you to be stressed over an Ironwood knife that was not yours. Besides it could be embarrassing to see two grown men wrestling over a knife at the Blade Show! Truthfully I forgot about bringing it back to the Show.

Rod, Very gracious of you to protect Peter from his inner demon...... The mighty Ironwood!

Good move on leaving it the hotel as more of us than Peter would have been after that lil Beauty!!!

I think it's worth noting that Rod has officially moved to the dark side....

"40's knives"

It is a slippery path that leads to no good...... except more knives.


All kidding aside, Rod scored two of the oldest model 5's I have seen in just two weeks. Yes, he has a sheath hunt on his hands......

Hey Rod,

That 1st #5 is fantastic.

You have to bring that one to Saskatoon!

Cheers,
