Here's a strange one (to me anyway)

This one is on Ebay, and I can't figure out if it's an old one or not.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0649471422

It has a single Eye etch on the blade which leads me to believe it's a newer one,
and,
It has the arched C.Schileper tang stamp, which could be new or old
but,
It has a plain shield.
plus,
It has smooth bone handles.

I'd like to bid on it, but I would like to know what it really is first!

Thanks!

Keith,
Not old.

Anything with a laser etch like that isn't very old. It is a nice knife though.

IH,

I should have been more descriptive on age.
I meant older for Eye Brand knives.
I think most people consider Eyes that are from the 70s and even until the early 80s as old.

I've seen quite a few Eyes on Ebay recently in patterns and combinations that I haven't seen before.
A friend of mine who's an Eye distributor has been having a hard time getting Eyes, which makes me wonder if their production has been scaled back.

I'm wondering now if they're doing more outsourcing with our friends in China.

You can get one new online for $60.00 or less.
