This is a beautiful example of a Model 2, with some nice options, and representing the end of an era. This was made in 1992, at the tail end of the supply and use of Westinghouse “Ivorite” micarta by the shop. Documentation of original order sheet included.
The 5″ stainless steel blade is flawless.
The Westinghouse “Ivorite” micarta handle has mellowed to a nice pale yellow, lying somewhere in the middle of the color spectrum of how this material can age.
The flanged and scalloped brass butt is aesthetically pleasing, and also lends to the functionality of the knife should it ever need to be used.
The Sulivan’s sheath does not appear to have had the knife in it, save for the fitting of the keeper snap.
