Absolutely incredible Schrades. That sheepsfoot is almost comical, no wonder they had to put it on the other end from the master. You could reblade a Case 11031SH with that thing. :lol: Mr. Williams did a number on those beauties.

The only Schrade-Wolstenholms I have are 3-blade canoe SFOs from 1978 for Parker/NKCA (stamped Wolstenholm only but AFAIK already owned by Schrade at the time) and I carry my user fairly often. Weird that I don't often count them among the Schrades, though...

Four line Camillus, just shy of four inches. Very nice real pearl. Tight, snappy, centered, swedges, pulls, everything but milled nickel silver liners. Awww. Me like this one.

He had it listed at $175 and no one bit. When he lowered I thought that might be a good one to complement my Camillus 72's. Not really one of my targets so I didn't load for bear. ::poke::
I do want to send you a thank you for yours and Tom's tutelage the other day in the Case 100 year old thread. That knowledge helped sneak up on one Sunday night. I will post it in a few days. ::handshake::

Greg it is pretty much mint except for a small blade rub towards the tip of the master blade.I don`t know why people don`t start an auction at a low amount.A lot of people won`t even look at a knife with a $175 or a $99 starting bid.
Glad I was able to impart some of the small amount of wisdom I possess. ::handshake::

I enjoyed scrolling through this thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing their beautiful stockman knives. This one was made by J. Wiss & Sons of New Jersey in 1973. The company owned the Boker USA name and trademark at the time.
