Couple of great looking knives EBM. How old is the Schrade? Do the tang stamp charts for Schrade track with their pocket knives?Eye Brand Man wrote:Here's a couple you don't see too often. Schrade cut co. Made by kinfolks and a WWII era camillus army/navy pilots knife.
You know i'm not to sure if the tang stamps on fixed blades track with the folders Maybe. I'm guessing this one's pre war . Super nice thistle top by the way Nice condition on that one, with the etch still visible. I really like the old Union Cut Co fixed blades.steve99f wrote:Couple of great looking knives EBM.

Cal, its a wood handle, came in 2 days earlier than expected.
The sheath was very stiff and dirty. A little saddle soap and Pecard's did wonders.Not an original sheath though as gunsil says the sheath was marked like the blade etch, "Kamper". Very pleased with it overall, the knife is in excellent condition. I think this was carried more than it was used. Looking at the checking with a magnifier, the diamonds are pretty well still pointed and the blade still has some factory finish on it as well as a decent etch. No signs of improper sharpening or other abuse. Couple of pictures for the record.
