My Glades Hunter arrived this week. For those who are not aware of it, it is a limited offering through Spaceport Cutlery. See: http://www.spaceportcutlery.com/tek9.asp?id=40&pg=blank

Mine is #34. Even numbers have standard stag handles, and odd numbers have crown stag. Here is a shot of the Glades Hunter by itself:

And, these shots show it with its special alligator sheath:

Here is a shot of the back of the sheath, showing the stampings. It also shows a closer view of the blade etching.

And yes, I am very happy with its stag handle:

The photo above also shows the squared top of the nickel silver hilt and the blade's thumb notches.
 
Looks like a No.4 with a 7 inch blade. During WW2, No.1 went to North Africa and Europe, No. 4 with the 7 inch blade went to the Pacific Theatre.
 
Beautiful knife, currious on the question of which knives went to which theaters during the war, once agian beautiful piece of stag...
