I’ve read on a couple forums, that when Schrade / old timer went out of biz…
Soneobe bought up the left over USA stamped blades and sent to China to make finished knives…..
Is that true? 🤷🤷🤷🤷uote]
True, but as long as you know what you're getting they are good knives. I bought 3 of them from
https://www.smkw.com/ SMKW bought up a bunch of USA made blades and set them to China to have handles installed and sheaths. SMKW was selling them for the same price as the Chinese made knives. They came with a certificate with the story behind them. I paid less than $30 each for them.
This is the Chinese made version. The only difference is that my sheath does not include the sharpening stone and the blade is USA stamped.
https://www.smkw.com/schrade-henry-staglon-golden-spikeSince the blade is the most important part, I figured it was a good price for one of the originals. Especially since i see the same knife sell for $100 used. Well used in many cases. I could care less that the handle and sheath is made in China.
