Just an old 5OT but with a question.

OK, This Green Sawcut Derlin Bruin was a gift to me in '89 or '90 by a buddy who found it in the guts of a commercial clothes dryer. There is no (+) after Schrade and one notation on this forum listed 'C194' after it's lockback description. Is that the type of steel or just some kind of model number distinction? Here are the links to a couple large images of the knife for you to inspect. Thanks.

1095 carbon steel I would say and even has three or four carbon spots to back this notion up Schrade used some high carbon stainless in some Old Timers and most of the Uncle Henry line and was denoted as such, as stainless and Schrade + in tang stamps. BUT as has been stated before w/ISC Co. You never Know! I am prety sure in this instance though based on the posted pics.
