There some big knifes!

Yes they are. Quite a pocketful! I tried to like one but it was too ungainly for edc in my construction work and in hunting and fishing. I sold it on to someone else and went back to my smaller 897UH.

Pictures for the record. Never seen one before until tonight. You know where. All I can say is incredible.

Well, as I said, it didn't take long to find an 858 of interest. It is a Schrade 858 Catawba Valley Knife Club knife that was customized by Herman Williams to a 5 blade in 1986. This knife has dark genuine stag handles. Each of the five blades is etched with an example of industries and/or place in the Catawba River Valley. Nickel silver grooved bolsters and brass liners. The nickel silver shield is engraved C.V.K.C. Clip master blade tang stamped "SCHRADE+ USA 858". It is etched Catawba Valley Knife club 1986 1 of 60. second blade is a small clip, etched with an arrowhead Old Fort McDowell county.Third blade is etched with a chair and Furniture Drexel, NC. Fourth blade is etched with a loaf of Sunbeam bread, Valdese, NC Waldensian Bakeries. Fifth blade is etched with a picture of a wine bottle, Wine Icard, NC. Has three backsprings. Length 4 5/8" closed, 10 3/8" open blade on each end.

You gota a truck too Bill? I gonna have to get me one. They make them big enough to hold a real...er...I mean a fixed blade knife like the SDU15OTF? I guess I could knock out the front and back glass and slide it through the cab. Or build a ladder rack for it.
