china????

Thanks for the warning, Ron! I've retracted my bid, so the guy dodged the bullet! We'll see about this next one! If we want to hang him out to dry, don't warn him!!! :mad: :grumpy: :mad: :grumpy: :mad:
 
Someone in this thread mentioned the fancy shield being suspect. Don't assume any Old Timer you see with that type of shield is a Chinese made knife. It is very similar to the Schrade 'Compliments' knives given away by the factory.

I sent the seller an email on one of the auctions for a chitaylor 897UH.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6631864017&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

He didn't change the text of the auction, :grumpy: but did place my email in large bold text at the bottom of the bottom of the auction.

He also sent me this reply, which is at the bottom of the auction also:
"YOU ROCK DALE I WILL ADD THIS TO MY LISTING ALSO...I DON'T WORK TO MUCH WITH THE PRODUCT AS MUCH AS I CROP PHOTOS AND DO SOME RESEARCH. THANKS AGAIN STAN"

Me thinks he needs to take the Codger's Schrade Research Course! :D (complete with beatings) :D :eek: :D

Larry has a very unique and special knife just made for occasions such as this. Perhaps we could prevail upon him to post it at this opportune time.

Well, I've retracted my second bid because he changed the auction wording to make it clear it's an off-shore knife. I still hope everyone watches out for bad ads. I'll gladly bid and complain later, AND dump on his/her feedback to teach a lesson! We protect ourselves by positive action, and we put up with less BS!!
 
It took me a few minutes to figure out just what the appropriate knife was... :rolleyes:
Its called a fleam and has a blade used to keep the males "at bay. "
From the 1960 Ulster catalog

The 13c was commonly referred to as the deckem, dickem, bleedem to relievem or farmers friend. LT Eee iii Eee iii OHH!!!!
 
NW Knives & Collectibles in Salem Oregon has a display with several knives with fleam blades. There are some with multiple fleam blades. I had not heard that they were used castrate, but I had heard they were used by veterinarians to bleed cows back when they did that kind of stuff.

Side note: I grew up working on our neighbors ranch as kid in Southern Oregon, & we also had a small spread that I grew up on, so I grew up around cattle and horses. I have seen the clip blade of a stockman used to poke a hole in cows stomach when they had gotten into something that caused them to bloat. I have also seen the sheepfoot blade to trim hooves and the spey blade was what we used to castrate with.
