All About Pocket Knives

I'm not familiar with these - am I understanding correctly that the same automatic knife can be found in Schrade, Case & Remington livery?

That is correct.

I remain hopeful that LT, Eric, Cal, or many of the other Schrade aficionados might see this and comment. Besides have the equipment and being most qualified to make a knife like this at the time, Schrade most likely owned the patent for the design. My guess is the pattern was moderately to highly sought after and most knife makers wanted one in their catalog portfolio (aka livery). Therefore they got Schrade to make them.

Here are some relevant catalog pictures and links to other AAPK posts. You will notice Schrade themselves had 2 patterns - with and without a swing guard.

Wow - that's as gnarly as it gets! You just don't see that kind of stag on the Case knives made today.

That is really nice! The "knarlier" the better. Is "knarlier" even a real word?

It is now!

That is a fine old Case! You probably didn't find that at a yard sale.

Thanks guys!

Not a yard sale find, but a fair find for the keeper roll

Nicest 75 I've ever seen, probably some of the nicest stag too.

Awesome snag!

I do have two additional pics of the 75 in the daylight, to depth of the pile side is hard to capture, but it’s impressive

Thanks for the words! I have a pic of my 75 stag pile, very selective about which ones I add. I’ll post the pic sometime

Nice stag Zack!

Case when they were still at the height of their powers.

That knife is even more breathtaking in the sunlight. Thanks for the extra pics!

The ground rumbling from the March of the Stag 75s.

Incredible!

Thanks all, 75’s come with some great stag.

The 75 is my favorite pattern, and that one is an outstanding one for sure!

Zach,
Pictures like you are showing makes a newbie stag collector, like me, weak at the knees! They are incredible. It also gives me something to shoot for when shopping. About how old are these knives? Thanks.
