I got a couple of Scarce Schrade boxes 'American Legends' and 'John Deere from Ikedoc

I had the knives for many years but never had their boxes <know the feeling?> so I managed to get a couple of Schrades more scarce items from member Ikedoc. <Many thanks Dennis> who is still on the mend <but coming good he tells me> after his motor cycle took on a car.....
The American Legends box is actually for General MacArthur who was also in this small Schrade series from 1998 however my Limited Edition Buffalo Bill Cody 15OT Deerslayer fits O.K. and at least it has an American Legends home...I believe it was from the Schrade collection and came without the box same as the John Deere Trapper who also now has an appropriate home....photos to show Dennis the boxes arrived and for any others interested in these knives you dont see often.....Hoo Roo

Just bumping this thread for Winchester. My Buffalo Bill in the American Legends Series is definitely genuine Sambar stag handles....Hoo Roo

Larry wondering same question I asked Codger in the other thread. any ieea what steel The Legends series were made. Standard 440A? It would seem they would not have used somthing more expensive like 440c as 99% of people would use these knives as lookers not users.

The Schrade advertising blurb just states it's their Stainless Steel so I feel would be standard Schrade+ s/steel.....its highly mirror polished and 24K blade etch...limited to 1000 pieces each set in the series....obviously 1001 blades with that 'gay pretender' blank blade currently for sale without the 24K etch and probably originally held over for warranty purposes....now adourned with chinese brass "goodies",coloured pakkawood, and re-constituted cardboard "something" sheath....certainly not a knife to be proud of, at that killer price..IMO...Hoo Roo...
