[Gerberblades]

Hi-

Can I get some info on this blade?

Your SC505 is a 1988 Issue Scrimshaw of the Great Outdoors. The three blades are all 1095 Carbon. The clip and sheepsfoot blade look normal, but the spey blade appears to have been reshaped to more function as a pen. Nice patina. It still has a lot of good use left.

Thanks! Unfortunately its not mine, its one of my friends. I cleaned it up a bit with some warm water and soap, and oiled all three blades. Do you have any idea in the way of value. He said he would never sell it, just was curious.

It is still a very nice usable knife, but in used condition, it would not be worth selling in my opinion. Definitely worth using.

This one only brought $10.00 and it was unused. That is unusually low price, and an unused one would usually bring at least $20.00 or more.

I look specifically for the SchradeUSA 8OT-sized Stockman patterns out here in Concord, CA. I see them routinely in the antique stores here, for around $15.00-$25.00, depending on condition, of course. That's a nice user. :thumbup:
