Rocky, I was kidding, I had to blow up the picture to make it out myself. Zeis has been top of the line since pre WWII. I have a Leupold HAMR w/Delta Point on my Colt AR. I can't afford Zeiss or Schmidt Bender.

There's a quote you don't see every day...

(usually "Leupold" is on the back half of that sentence)

This is all quite interesting guys but subject for the Blades, Bullets & Bows forum. Let's get back to Model #14's..."please"?
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Here are a couple with teeth>

Nice ones Billy, I like teeth.

Oldie but goodie. God Bless Our Troops !!!

Model 14 with Teeth. Yellow print 2-tone stone.

Question for the knowledge bank.. bought a #14 brass double guard, "C" sheath,black micarta handle with finger grips in 1981(new) from a Cutler in Australia.

Seem to remember it had 2x brass slotted screws in handle with exposed tang on top edge handle. Is my memory wrong?
Haven't seen any resembling it here.

I know it was wrong to sell it.. but it just didn't fit my smallish Man hands. I did keep the #18 and it served me well.
Still does.
Thanks, Wayne

Ok. So if I was to replace the #14 (7.5 inch)and I just don't like the finger groove handles, which would be the more comfortable in Micarta, Border Patrol or Finger groove (1x)?

Considering I have smallish hands, thinking towards the Border Patrol handle.
Opinions would be appreciated as I've not held either, let alone used one for long period.

My #5 7 inch just doesn't have the mass required for dealing with Jungle or coconuts. I want to down size from my current Bush knife (Busse Battle Mistress)which gets quite a workout when living on Tropical Islands for 6x months each year.
Thanks Wayne

Border patrol can still be turned "Blade up" in your hand where it feels weird with finger grips or single finger grips.
If that's not an issue I'd go with border patrol or single finger grip.
