I guess I have two questions.First can anyone help me with information on these.I got this one the other day and can't find anything on them.My second question is for Larry if he sees this,Are you going to add a section on the older knives for us who try to collect them.I mean the137, 141,147,148,49's and knives like this 166.I hope so.Arnold
 
Toby,
I can't quite make out the tang stamp, is it Schrade-Walden?

These were listed only in 1970 and 1971 and that is about all I have on them other than 12" OA and 7" blade, which you already know. There may have been some archived posts on them though. LT knows them I bet.

Ha... since that post, I've bought a Buffalo Bill Bowie. Simply put, life was not worth living without it. One of the most handsome modern Bowies ever made, I think. Although I do like the Buck 124 Frontiersman.

ps.. and how about that 'woodgrained' sheath? The grain of both knife handle and sheath looks great together.
 
Phil,I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that liked that knife.Now if someone could just give us some information about them I would be happy.Arnold

Phil,
Start saving your pennies (and nickles, dimes and quarters, too!). It's possible that Canal Street will be coming out with a Bowie later this year. :-)

How much are children bringing on the open market these days? Or is it too late to sell by the time they are teens?

Canal street bowie? Oh my. I'm going back to collecting what I started on... shell handled Imperial and Hammers.

I mentioned the sheath. Here is some detail pics. Wondered if Paul would find it interesting. I don't know how they did it, stain of some sort? Anyway, here is what I call my 'excellent user grade' 166, focusing on the leather;

Phil,

You sure have some very cool knives :thumbup: :thumbup: .....especially that one GREE.....aw, nevermind.

Your friend,

Bill
 
Her I am. The "woodgrain" finsh on the sheath is a process using antiquing stain. The streaks or wood grain come from lighty wiping part of a heavy coat of stain much the same as when the cheesecltoh paint jobs on funiture was popular a few years back. I could explain the whole process in deatil, but then I'd have to kill ya.
