Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

Cal, that's a neat one! I have both a 147 and a 497 in leather, but not in the same knife! I see it came with the regular 49ers sheath.

Schrade Walden brought out a series of hunting knives starting in 1958 and was quite diverse by 1973, when they did a corporate re-shuffle and abandoned the word "Walden" (They had already moved to Ellenville in about 1958 or so). In the immediate aftermath of this re-shuffle, they brought out a 49rs series of 4 patterns of fixed blades. One of them (the 497L and 497S) was based on the earlier 147 (which existed in both Delrin and stacked leather). Here is a transition knife, with the old Walden stamp. I don't know how many of those existed but very very few. I am aware of 2 or 3 since I started looking 14 years ago. Incidently, the 497 died out in favor of the 165 variants, which are similar in many ways, but more robust.View attachment 1349416 View attachment 1349417 View attachment 1349418 View attachment 1349419 View attachment 1349420

I love fixed blade hunting knives, and this is a type which I have seen (you know where) from time to time, but never have owned one. They have two or more appellations, jagdmesser and nicker are the ones I recall. This example does not appear to have been made to use everyday but perhaps for dress. No belt loop as I suppose one would jam it into some part of yer lederhosen or knickers (nicker in knickers?). I think the fittings are some grade of silver rather than nickel silver/Brittania metal/German silver, but I could be wrong. Made by Weidmannsheil, and I am guessing that Hubertus is a distributor?View attachment 1361847 View attachment 1361848 View attachment 1361849 View attachment 1361850 View attachment 1361851 View attachment 1361852 View attachment 1361853 View attachment 1361854

Very snazzy.
Also called Trachtenmesser, which people translate as "dress knife". Some of them nowadays have a frog to hang the pocket sheath from a belt.
I thought Hubertus was a maker, but I don't know.
Here's mine again.

My deceased Dad's Marbles hunting knife. Restored by me after almost seventy years of field dressing antelope, elk, mule deer and white tails, pheasants, rabbits, and you name it. I made the sheath as the original had gone to the "happy hunting ground". :D
