Produced sometime before 2007, when Stout moved up from Journeyman Smith to Master Smith in the American Bladesmith Society. Overall length is 16 3/8", with an 11" drop point blade featuring a nearly straight spine with thumb serrations near the guard, "J.S." on the right ricasso and "STOUT/Gillham, AR." on the left. Single finger alloy guard, with a series of three alternating red/bright spacers leading up to the two-piece full coverage burl walnut grip. Excellent with a few minor spots and handling marks overall.
