Lee - you are correct, there are a lot of similarities between the two knives, did not mean to sound however I sounded?

Pretty sure the hard-to-read curved tang stamp from UTICA is pre 1960

That Imperial is about like the first knife Daddy got me,I was 4 or 5, and a bigger boy begged me out of it. Welcome to the world Lyle.

Dimitri is that Schrade faded or did they make a lighter french ivory?

Hi Lyle, the knife appears unused to me never sharpened the color looks pretty consistent with what I have seen.


Do you have a knife from Schrade that is darker?

Thank you, you are right, it is a Challenge, going clockwise, a Lawton, 1900 or so, an Electric, a New York Knife Co, Cattaraugus and a Dwight Devine Ulster.

As far as I know. Kind of hard to tell when there's no documentation on them.

I have 1937, 1948, 1953, 1958, 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983 and 1988.

Makes a real nice historical progression for Schrade tang stamps.
