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.
Well, Rick found it! I don't know how after 30 years, but he did!

Here's a pic of some of the 1st group of 10:



Here's a pic of S/N's 47 and 50:



Here's a pic of S/N 47 next to my S/N 49:



Talk about Old Yeller before and after pictures. What great material!

Rick: Amazing scrims for being so early! Thanks for all your help.

Best,

Ron
