Published in 1963. Found this at a yard sale years ago.

Here's another shot of the cabin with the photographer's comments...



"We took a side trip from the Alaskan Highway to Hudson's Hope, British Columbia. This is the cabin that Bradford and Vena Angier lived in during the early 70's. They were writers about the wilderness that inspired my imagination when I was young. I have several of their books."

Look at the size of that screen on the windows....now that's some large mosquito's!

Okay, Ron, show us the actual knife.

Close, but no banana

Not even close, the pin in your handle is much smaller. Nice try!

Helluva good try!!!

Tom / Rob,

It's really a worse try than you think: The knife photographed in Bradford's "Wilderness Cookery" is a mid 50's Model 3-6. The knife I posted a photo of is a C 1950 Model 7-5. If you look closely, that's a small stamp on the Model 7. The only era that a Model 3-6 or 3-7 carried that small stamp was in the 40's.

As a side note: The pin in the 7-5 is nickel silver. That only happened on a small percentage of knives around 1950. A number of years ago I had a bet with Doug (Silverknife): He claimed they were aluminum. I think he still owes me a beer

Best,

Ron,

It's a beautiful 7-5. Those old knives have such sexy lines. I'm sure Angier would have been proud to carry it as well.

I found this at the Randall Museum from Bradford to Bo.
