JerryG Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/04/11 Posts: 327 Loc: WI	Here's one I picked up at a local knife show a while back. Not sure why only one pic shows, first time I've tried to post a pic. Truth be told, this is my first attempt at taking a picture worthy of sharing here Attachments IMG_2474.JPG (483 downloads) ------ Edited by JerryG (08/11/15 06:57 PM) _________________________ Jerry

Aurevoir Gopher Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/08/12 Posts: 110 Loc:	As promised, here is the 5-5 I just received as well. Totally loved the grind lines and old spacers and the fact it is not perfectly straight from handle to blade. A slight downward curve really aids in cutting. Also loved the fact the blade was dead mint and the handle had taken on a nice patina. Now the blade is hair poppin' sharp and ready to go out on adventures. I've had six of these and this one I believe is the keeper. A thicker blade than others, squared hilt that I'll actually keep square, and just feels the best in my hand. I'll take a picture of my current 5-5 with black Micarta handle and show the difference in thickness. Thought I'd throw in a picture of it with my two favorite folders. Both have bank vault lock-up with absolutely no play. The black on is polished water buffalo horn and S30V steel. Edited by Aurevoir Gopher (08/12/15 11:57 AM) _________________________

JerryG Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/04/11 Posts: 327 Loc: WI	Thanks for the compliment! With a bit more practice, I think my photos might be worthy of their subjects. I've never been a big fan of stag either, at least not on users. This one just felt right when I picked it up.... so I took it with me! _________________________ Jerry

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2141 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Just picked up this leather handled 5-5 with sawteeth. Took a pic to compare an other 5-5 with sawteeth. Quite a difference where the sawteeth start and finish in the two knives. After looking at the pictures, I am not sure the top knife has a Model 5 grind. The top bevel starts a lot further forward than most 5's!! Any thoughts???

crutchtip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 2850	difference is the location of the RMK stamp which affects the grind/teeth. At least it does on these two examples. _________________________ www.rmkcollector.com BUY-SELL-TRADE

Dirty_Water Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 2304 Loc: central fl.	Looks like Crutch is correct...you can really see why we substitute the Combat Companion blades when a 5-5 s/t is requested... _________________________ ---DW--- Scott RKS #014 HE IS RISEN!, HE IS RISEN INDEED!
