"Only mandatory for items being sent through the postal system, not for boxes going on a shelf"

Jerry, the knife owner had to mail the knife back to Schrade in Ellenville. The address given by Schrade for mailing back your knife has no ZIP.
I don't understand your comment. What am i not getting ?

My bad. I wasn't paying close attention. Again.

[kootenay joe]

Not a problem Jerry. Often it is i who misunderstands, so i need to ask.

So Ken, the SCC+ 886(?) was made by Camillus for Schrade ? whole or in part ?
kj

Schrade had Camillus make the compleate 886UH knives, as Schrade owned Camillus.
The 886UH was sold in Department Stores, as a cheep alternative to the Schrade 885UH [no replacement guarantee etc.]
The Schrade 'Buck 301 knives, were too hard to repair, for warranty - So, Buck had the 301s made by Camillus until about 1976.
Dale Vincent has paperwork, from Schrade to Camillus - indicating Camillus made Blades for some of the Schrade knives...Ken
From left to right: One Buck, Four Camillus and Six 1968 to 1966 Schrade made knives.

I liked it too. I bought it at an antique shop in Ashtabula Ohio awhile back when we were visiting my sister-in-law. I couldn't believe it when I looked at the edge and saw it had never been sharpened.That is why I elected to leave it as is.

Here is one I just found at an Indian Artifact show........ I went to see arrowheads and found a guy with knives....

From the tang stamp it looks like it was made between 1941 - 1946 I think.

Yep, Rogers bone handles, steel pins and probably steel liners and bolsters. I think you nailed it Mike. I have one just like it that has a chunk out of the mark side handle. Beauty handles, eh?

Yep, all steel... Yep, i like the scales. That is what caught my eye.
This guy had several knives in a case marked "any knife in this case $30"... I needed some more money.
