I think the Bear Hunter was a German made Schrade, in the LB6 or 7 mode. I guess it came after the close of the factory and before the China made knives.

EDIT: Come to think of it that pattern was stamped SCHRADE, so this Bear Hunter is not likely the same.

I think it may be one of the offerings from Frost. Could be China or could be made in the same factory as H&R.

he says his dad gave it to him when he was a boy.. i don't think he is boy now. so it isn't a newer knife.

Now that I think about it, wasn't it Boker that did a Bear Hunter brand a few years back?

Edit: Here's one on Ebay.
