Fonz, put a punch blade in this one and it looks like the same time period as yours.

That peach seed jigging drives me wild! Absolutely beautiful knife.

Lately I have been smitten by stainless schrade cut co's. They are just few and far between.

I'm sure someone here will know, when did schrade start making stainless steal knives in the "cut co" period?

I picked up this Aerial at the Easton,PA show last month. I liked the look of the equal end knives, The seller wasn't sure weather or not the handle material is original. I'm posting this to see if anyone can say. Either way, this is a well made knife in nice shape.

Here's my latest pick-up

Case xx 62087
1940-64 this knife was made closer to the 1940 date because of the tall "S" in the word Case on the shield, towards the end of this period the "S" was shorter.

I have one just like it Steve99f. I would presume handles to be celluloid and original. ::tu::

daddynewton,

I really liked the red of the handles so it was an easy decision to pick it up. Thanks for confirming that there is at least one more out there just like it. :mrgreen:
