This one is really cool and super rare Randall. A 4 1/2″ Model 11 in a riveted model “C” sheath! This is the smallest riveted “C” sheath I recall ever seeing. I have had 1-5″ and 2-5″ in riveted sheaths but not for a 4 1/2″ blade. It is quite possibly a one off. It is also only the second field knife I recall seeing in a riveted “C” sheath, the other being a model 19.
The 4 1/2″ carbon blade is mint. I see no issues at all.
The black micarta handle feels great in the hand and has seven spacers at the brass hilt.
The brass butt has a wrist thong.
The sheath is absolutely stunning and a real joy to look at. It has three rivets, one at the toe and two at the throat.
The original gold paracord is on the sheath as well as the wrist thong dating this knife to around 1971-72.
