Is it an Illusion or is it a Schrade

[Gevonovich]

Hey there Gev. That's a great old knife- and a great topic for discussion. A Shrade all day - love those old scales my friend.

Good to see you, my friend!! Thanks for the compliment on the knife and topic! I really hope this one keeps developing as nicely as it has been!! Love this place!

From my collection,Schrade was the most prolific maker of farmers jacks.The Shrades,like the Empires,are all 4 1/8"

Two Shapleigh DE one French ivory,one peach seed.Both marked B 404.

g(Goins abb. for guesstimate) I believe the cut shown may be that of an Empire,based on the shape of the pruning blade.the empire blades are little more robust than a Schrade blade.

The next one is marked BARTLETT MFG CO DETROIT MICH g(guesstimate per John and Charlotte Goins) 1900-1920
