A fixed blade florists' knife, a #173. Homemade sheath, I suppose.

Nice pristine example, Cal!!! I always liked Schrade's floral knives a lot, folders and fixed blades!!
No number on this one!! Homemade lanyard!!

How do those knice items get into one's mailbox, anyway? You must have a magical mail box, Rob!

It's my postman, he's a year round santa disguised as the postman

Wonderful swell-center Zulu!!!

Thanks, Charlie I'm very happy to have added it to my Schrade collection!

The sampler knives are common, generally, but every once in awhile one shows up that is a little different.

I may have a nefarious postman because my mailbox only has 2 for 1 pizza are an exorbitant energy bill yet we have seen a balmy -21 for months.

Keep an eye on the postman

I better add some appropriate knife content.

Some wonderful bone and blade grinds came out of that town.

Although the Schrade Cut. Co. catalogs offered Genuine Stag as a handle option, you don't see too many. The stag on this one is beautiful, and well chosen for a 3" knife. All blades are Crocus polished, and with the threaded (hand-filed I believe! Slight variation under magnification!) bolsters, it was meant to be a top-end knife!!

Very nice Charlie . I guess you are correct in that it is hard to find a Schrade covered in Stag . It took me a while , but I finally found one that was made for the NKCA Club Knife in 1982 . Really like this one .

Nice knife, Harry!! Stag was easier to find back in 1982!!! 44 years ago!!

A more elderly Schrade in stag.

This is the only other Schrade stag I have, not counting customizations.

Very nice Cal !!!!!
And here I thought that I was probably the only person in the world that had a Sausage Knife or a Melon Tester in a collection . I have 2 given to me by an Old Friend who had been the Vice President of Sales for a company that made Packaging Products . Chuck was a great guy .
Some persons call these Sausage Knives but where I came from they were called Melon Testers . Chuck called them Sausage Testers . One of my 2 was made by Colonial and this one was made by Schrade . Most likely it is much newer than your's because it has a Stainless Blade .
