Thanks. I will watch for other DU Canada and Calgary Stampede knives. Schrade made some quality SFOs for both organizations that look good in the catalogs.tongueriver wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 10:40 pm Nice. Keep your eye peeled for the DU Canada wooden handled Schrade folding hunter. And, of course, any of the Calgary Stampede knives. I gave a stag CS lockback (LB-7 type) to a fellow who did not care anything about it. Oh well.
I want one of these sambar Quebec-version "Canards Illimites" knives but it has eluded me for many years. The very first Schrade I "collected" was an English-text black delrin knife with a similar blade and burnt stag would be even nicer.
Thanks!
I do like that big walnut Son-of-a-Gun. It would look good paired with the "Lightning Express" knife. Thanks for reminding me about the "Duck Pond" thread. It's been inactive too long.koldgold wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 11:35 pm This is my DU Canada "Son-of-a-Gun"... Ken.
If you like Duck Knives, have a look in this Duck Pond.

I've basically made the same transition over the years. Delrin is a tough material and doesn't look "cheap" to me. I like what Schrade did with it but I had to basically stop buying the more common delrin Schrades so that I could afford the bone, stag, sterling and MOP when I come across it.
The handles on my Canadian 108DU look similar to these DU knives from 2000-2001. I think they are likely solid oak as well but they may be an oak "resin impregnated" Fibron-type handle.
