Stoddard's Special #183.
-5" carbon tool steel blade. Top edge not sharpened. Thumb notches.
-Stag handle with brass square-top single hilt and butt cap (with thong hole). Brass and black spacers. A "chunky" piece of stag that sits nicely in the hand.
-Blade is stamped with "Randall Made Orlando, FLA" double scimitars logo.
-Reverse of blade is etched "Stoddard's, Inc. Boston, MA-SN. 183".
-Black leather Sullivan's Model A sheath with "SS" stamped on reverse above RMK logo. "Randall Made" on metal sheath snaps. "Fine India Made In USA" stone.
-Did anyone ever determine how many of these Stoddard's Specials were made? I note Bob T.'s earlier comment that his was very late in the run and is numbered 238. Any higher numbers seen ?
-On a personal note, I really like this knife. A great design blending the Bushmaster and the Trapper.
