Who made these USA made new Schrade?

SMKW has these in an email I received today. They say they are made in the USA, just wondering who the manufacturer is? I suspect it’s Bear, but not certain. Priced about 75 dollars, so at the low end of a USA made knife, which really makes me think Bear. Any thoughts.

The handles/jigging sure looks Bear.

Since it's USA made, I'd have to presume it's either Bear or Utica. I'm leaning towards Bear too.

I agree, it looks like Bear to me also.

I looked up Schrade on SMKW and it pulled up a list of 37 knives, of which only 15 were in stock. Made me wonder if they're getting rid of some of the older Chinese made stuff?

Smith and Wesson acquired the Schrade name and intellectual properties not too long ago. They said they'd be bringing Schrade production back to the U.S. and I think this is one of the results. No idea who the maker is though.

Thanks for the input. I looked up pictures of Bears stockman knives and definitely see similarities. The nail nick is different, but then I found pictures with the same nail nick so it looks like we have a winner.

Whomever the maker, its a step in the right direction. Now if some one would get the Queen name back onshore, preferably not Bear. They deserve to be quality, made here.
