We have got some good stuff going on here lately.
I recently received an email inquiry from a man in Slovakia and he has asked questions about a Schlieper fixed blade in his possession. He was interested in any info I might give on his knife and he sent me photos which I now cannot find (go figure). I do have some good close-ups of the stamp on the ricasso and I suspect it is a legitimate Eye Brand. One of the words stamped is KOPASSUS and a search reveals that to be an acronym for a special forces unit of the Indonesian military. I do know Schlieper did some volume of business in that part of the world.
Any other thoughts out there? Age? Etc?
I'll post the ones I have and I have asked him to sent the others again so I'll post those when received.

Now that's an interesting knife right there. I'd live to get my hands on one.

certainly appears as a contract knife. i do'nt recall seeing "ice tempered" on knives made before the 80s. HiPower

When the knife your grandfather/father carried or put up is handed down to you...treasure it...open it up from time to time...and by all means, keep it!
