It's been several years since it was discussed and I don't know what threads and I'm to dumb and lazy to find them.

There is several people that have made comments about said feller on aapk. These are supposed to be some that he produced, shame he didn't just put his name on them and sell them.![]()
Thanks for the close-ups Homer. Some great looking knives in there. Appreciate the help and pics and have a great weekend bud.

Re: BONES BONES BONES
Hard to tell who made what? Have a Ulster Model 98 & a Schrade Model 881 with Federal Shield is about the only difference that stands these 2 apart love the Peach Seed Jigging which I think is outstanding on a knife. The Ulster has something on the main Clip point that I thought was interesting (Property of the US Govt). Very Light have to get it just right in the light.

Re: BONES BONES BONES
KK: Hate to be a doubter but could that bottom one be some kind of plastic? It looks shrunken at the bolsters. I have a Gov't. Schrade that is plastic peach seed just like it. There was a long discussion somewhere on the forum about those Gov't.issue knives. I hope it's bone, but....? J.O'.

Re: BONES BONES BONES
Thanks bud, but unfortunately the "Chris Reeves" is $40 counterfeit. Nothing authentic on it. The other two I was told are fakes too, but they are so well done it blows me away. Thanks again.

Re: BONES BONES BONES
Nice knives. Love that jigging. A similar one just came in. Walden 880. Thought it was an 881 when I pulled the trigger. Very similar.kennedy knives wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 7:11 pm Hard to tell who made what?

Re: BONES BONES BONES
Got this gem about 3 years ago and it’s one of my favorite knives. Not sure if the covers are stag or stag bone but either way it’s a terrific knife.

Here's an old Schrade Cut Co. Jack I have with similar jigging..IMG_0451 (2).JPG
Very nice of you to mention, gonna make me blush. Thanks thanks thanks. But I have to say it's just watching others around here like JohnR and Case XX, Knifeslinger, and others who continuously bring out the beauties of old who deserve the real mention. They taught me all I know and more. Thanks to them and thank you.
