Nice Tom!

What year do you think it was made?

I would normally have to say

But Paul A.K.A. KnifeSlinger told me:

"It was made by schrade walden, most likely 1950's. Handles look like fostarene, which was a plastic used at the time."

He also said it's the same Pattern as the Schrade Walden 708.

For comparison see here.:

Waking this thread up

John Hinchliffe - 1841-1858 - Solid ivory Leg knife - 2 & 1/8" closed and the small clip blade with swedge is approx 1 & 1/8"... Thought the long pull on the blade was pretty cool as well as the back spring contoured to fit the shape of the leg - the details of the carving were sweet - the tang stamp is partly hidden under the liner so "Beehive"/J Hinch/liffe... John Hinchliffe only had 10 employees and was well-known for fancy carved handled knives with the trademark of a Beehive - I have another John Hinchliffe knife - my other Hinchliffe is a quill knife and is carved MOP (posted under quill knives and a few places here).. the Hinchliffe cutlery was closed after his death in 1858 at the age of 48... he apparently was well-known at mid 1800 expositions for his elegant fancy knives... Originally I had slightly different dates when I posted the quill by Hinchliffe though the dates were overlapping in the mid 1800s - Tweedale has a more detailed historical overview from which this was summarized... sadly John Hinchliffe was buried in a pauper's grave..

First leg knife for me but patiently waited for a few years to find one that tripped my trigger... Thanks George

I had this Ulster bone handled swell center pen on my bench for a long time and finally found a blade to replace the broken one.

I just received these two in the 2023 POS exchange. Top is a 2 3/4" Imperial shell handle 2 blade pen, and the bottom is a 3 inch PAL single blade.
Thanks Kolvir!
