Gentlemen,
Hello fellow Schrade buffs / collectors!. I was wondering if I count on the usual suspects here to assist me in gathering some further info on a knife I just acquired, other than what I have deduced from the look of it and the lot of items that came with it.
It came in a Girl Scout sort of mini mess kit, complete with a leather multiple utensil sheath/pouch and even a KUTMASTER scout knife with the GS seal under a clear coat and celluloid you see so many of on the secondary market.
The knife I am interested in seems to go right along with the kit. But, I was wondering if these are pretty common or what? I don't see a whole lot of these around being traded much. Did the Schrade company produce these for the Boy Scouts as well? Any other variations produced for the market in general? How long was the production run?. Any and all information you all have on these would be nice..
The reason I purchased the lot of items was for the following knife. For lack of a better term and for all intents and purposes I will describe it here as it appears to me as an Easy Open wire frame Jack slippy type at just north of 3 1/8 inches closed, complete with half stop on its single spear point blade. Bottle top opener engineered on the tang area, no need for a fingernail pull as it opens with just a pinch of a finger quite easily(like for a young GS gal). The tang is in four lines on the front:
GEO SCHRADE {over} PAT {over} 1-27-42 {over} B'PORT CONN.
Thanks to all,
Anthony
