MB used actual screws on some of their production to hold the scales.

Here's a Ney York Knife co. Walden. It's 3 1/2" closed. Bottom bolster is engraved with NYC. Maybe you could help me date it?
Thanks,

Dave,
It is not true love.
It is just knife LUST!

First of all, I think you'd call that a beauty. As far as a knife name, I'd call it a Serpentine Teardrop Jack. How can anyone not be entranced by that swedged spear blade with the long pull. Marvelous.

Im going with Jerry. Serpentine Jack and the swedge is better in hand. Thank you for the replys.

Here's a NY Knife Walden Stag trapper. I feel the tang stamps make it newer. Plus it has U.S.A. stamped on the rear tang of the main blade.

I am not positive but that may be one of the commemoratives Schrade did.
Eric, Dimitri, LT or Hal may know.

I agree it looks like a newer stamp. I don’t see any pins in the bolsters. If Schrade made it, it would be made with the Swinden key, so there would be no visible pins in the bolsters.

I think that commemorative edition came from the 1990's but not positive. There was a 4" stockman too. I had one with the original box and paperwork a couple years ago. It was distributed with "Made by Imperial Schrade" on the packaging. I thik there was a muskrat pattern as well.
