Some stockman in two-three-and four blades.The last picture is kind of unique in that the scales are clear horn and there are no bolsters.No mark that I can see.

This is the largest stockman's knife I have ever owned, 5" closed! This thing is a brute :shock:

Beautiful wood handles with Birdseye rivets, knife has never been used.

50 years ago the first 897uh was offered in the schrade catalog. Seems like they should be in the conversation about stockmen knives. Schrade sold a few of them. Even though they were mass produced I think they were a very good quality knife.

Those are impressive. I believe they pre-date Imperial Schrade's brief ownership of the company. Schrade/IXL amplified that pattern by putting bolsters on it, ebony handles, different etch, faux hallmarks, etc. and those are really impressive also. Here is one that Herman Williams did for me in red-dyed stag.
