Something that may be of interest is that those early knives to be scrimshawed were made specifically to be sent to me for work. All these knives carried that unusual spacer combination as you can see in my serial number #001 which Gary sent me to photograph a few years ago. It's entirely probable that all ten model #8s were 4-5/8" blades. I may have a photo of those model 8s.... if I can find it.
Hi Rick,

Thanks. Good info and great pic! If you can find out any more info about the 8's or post a photo of them, I'd really appreciate it. Note: I took a look at your scrim at 30X: There's a whole lot more going on at that low altitude than meets the naked eye! If someone sent me 10 knives to scrim (Assuming I had the talent which I don't), I'd need to live to 110 before they were finished up!

Coincidently, I just noticed one of your early 12-6 scrims come up on e-bay (S/N 012):
