A Bit of a Rattlesnake

[tobyrogers]

I usually don't ask about current E bay auctions because it seems to run the price up but this one is so odd I couldn't help myself.#6611077118 is advertised as a 141.The tang stamp does read Schrade-Walden 141 but I think it's a 147/497.It even comes in a 49er sheath.Wrong tang stamp or end of days parts knife?It seem to show some age so I don't think its a parts knife.Arnold

It looks more like a 491S, not a 497. I think the 14_ series evolved into the 49'er series and retained the same last 2 numbers describing the blade style. I could be wrong.

Or you could well be right.
