Where does the Scrade below fit into things? [Linked Image]

I ask because some of the Scrades posted earlier look very decent knives and streets ahead of the rubber handled version we get here in the UK...

Hey Blacktail, that little one with the thong on it, 3rd one down. I got one of those little gems and it is indeed a good one for skinning out a whitetail. I like those little blades for that kind of work and that knife sharpens up quite nicely too. Mine is somewhere around 30 years old.

Moonshine,

You can heat a needle and touch the handle, if plastic it will melt.

Just a thought.

GPA, Sorry for the slow response ; I forgot I posted this!

The knife shown has been available in the UK for at least 10 years (maybe more?) and is still currently available...

I owned one for a short while before passing it on to a youngster starting out hunting...

Sorry but don't recall where it was made but they are currently sold under the Old Timer/Schrade brand...There is another version available without the guthook.

Edited to add it seems that this range is made in both the USA and China depending on the exact model..See this link for details: Moonraker knives

Regards,

Pete

Pete,

I think all current Schrade...Old Timer...and Uncle Henry knives are marketed by Talyor Brands and manufactured in China. If you run across a USA made Schrade, it is of older manufacture, and you should probably buy it.

GPA,

I have to say that the modern Schrade 's I've seen in the UK don't look a patch on some of the earlier models posted in this thread and if I chance on one of these model's I would certainly buy it especially if it has a carbon steel blade..

Thanks for your help and comments,

Regards,

Pete

TopGun- While a good idea in theory, I'd rather not risk damaging it. Thanks to the excellent advice from GPA I called Canal St. and found out that they did at one time make some of that model with the bone scales. After fondling it for several cumulative hours and examining it VERY carefully, I am certain that it is bone. After the discussion with Canal St. I am almost as certain that it came from the factory that way. Just as a side note- my father got a brown 1560T Old Timer AND this one for his birthday last month. Now he has one to carry again and one to put away for my son to inherit wink
