What a cool knife, Joe, all the way down to the lanyard.

to me, a double hilt Little Bear reminded me of the SOG Bowies. Now that the 4 Fighter is out, I don't disagree that it resembles the SOG plum blade type allot, save for the upsweep of the blade. A SOG knife has a clip point like a model 1.
I guess the "two peaks" is the only real similarity

There was a very limited version of the WWII Hunter that had a double upsweep. It was a double hilt and sharpened clip away from being a small Commando:

Is the bottom one the one you got from me at Blade years ago? cool piece with stepped choil.

Anyway, those resemble the Little Bear quite a bit.

That's the one.

I can now see the resemblence to the Little Bear that you speak of Thanks and Merry Christmas.

I got yesterday. Excellent work of masters RMK!
I like the blade balance, fine tip, very comfortable handle
Knife took up his duties - sliced meat, vegetables, fruit,
whittling couple of cuttings for hand tools.
Sharpening from store is not blunt, excellent steel.

In next time order with stainless steel.

It is interesting to 4F model possible reduced hilt?

p.s.
Sorry for the blurry photos

p.p.s.
To transport the handle has been dismantled via my frend - Joe Tousignant. Clay is very strong connects the skin layers.
Had to use a gas-torch. Leather slightly burnt.
Soon I will be polishing the handle - will smooth surface and beautiful. Or install other material handle.

looks like you are on a mission...

interesting looking knife..

So, Gary Randall had never set eyes on a Commando until one day a customer brought one in for repair, and up until then, only knew of them from one photo of Robert Taylor wearing one?

And I am very sorry the above knife of Desert Snake had to be disassembled for import. Almost as sorry that I never saw the knife apart. I would love to see details of end of tang, and the bottom/hidden side of the aluminum butt of the knife.
