Nice Tom! What year do you think it was made?

I would normally have to say

But Paul A.K.A. KnifeSlinger told me:

"It was made by schrade walden, most likely 1950's. Handles look like fostarene, which was a plastic used at the time."

He also said it's the same Pattern as the Schrade Walden 708.

I had this Ulster bone handled swell center pen on my bench for a long time and finally found a blade to replace the broken one.

Love them handles OC! Nice save!

Some of these are stamped PEN, some not, but same pattern I think.

Thanks Lloyd, appreciate that. And sorry I missed your name in the OKCA show thread. My mistake, thanks again and great to meet you in Eugene.

I picked up a couple of pens recently in a group of knives.
Top is a 3 and 1/4 inch shadow Kutmaster with bail. Probably celluloid, but no signs of problems yet.

Bottom is a beer knife advertiser. There is no tang stamp, but it is 3 and 1/4 inch with a celluloid looking plastic handle material.
The printing on the mark side is Cerveza ideme media "Tropical". Pile side marking reads "Tome " Cerveza Cristal". Online searches indicate that this is a Chilean brand of Pilsner beer.
