Frank earned himself a spot in a ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ magazine in the 1930’s. These knives can be used for decades, because of Frank’s superior craftsmanship.

This is a hard-to-find, desirable Richtig fighter design. Mike Silvey thought so much of this blade style that he pictured this same Richtig fighter model on page 210 of his book, Knives of the United States Military–World War II. This knife measures 10 15/16″ overall. The blade itself measures 6″. The end of the pommel is stamped ‘F.J.R. CLARKSON NEB.’. The guard and pommel are brass. The pommel has an extended lanyard ring.
Note that the pommel also has a mark I have never seen before on a Richtig–the number ‘4’. Note that this number matches the number on the Cornish sheath.
The Cornish sheath is stamped at its top ‘ALFRED CORNISH OMAHA, NEB. 4’.
Note that the leg tie-down thongs are still intact–an incredible feature rarely found.
