Schrade Walden USA (Taylor)

Post by kossetx »

Evening folks, I have 2 of these knives. A bone trapper I've had for a while and a blue bone trapper I piced up in today in trade. The fit on both is good. Open smoothly, have good snap and no gaps. I noticed immediately the finish on the damascus knife was better. Smoother and no variations in finish. Anyone know anything about them? I read on BF the damascus knife was made by GEC. Can anyone confirm that? thanks

They are made by Bear and Son. All of their 'Schrades' have no handle pins.
