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

Nice! Do you know roughly the width of the guard? The handle has an interesting shape, narrowing to meet the guard.
I'd say it's a little over an inch, maybe 1 1/4. The handle shape is the usual for a model 7. They're good knives to use as well as look at.

Thanks, but I think you are giving what I might call the length of the guard.
I'm talking about the width if you look down from right above the spine. No worries anyway.

I never much cared for this pattern, and yet...

Wow thanks for sharing. What pattern is that? Similar to a golden spike but not quite? Did it what evolved into the golden spike?

I'm not sure the pattern has a name. Golden spike was the name of a Schrade model, as I recall. I don't remember what it looks like.

I've seen these called hunters and skinners. I have called them thumb-hump skinners, and Jack Black has suggested thumb-ramp skinners. I think the idea is similar to the idea of the Buck 118, to get the sweeping edge of a skinner without the broad blade of a Nessmuk or a Woodcraft.

This is a Schrade Golden Spike. The blade has a little less sweep than the knives in your earlier post.

This Schrade Wolverine sat in a drawer in it's sheath for over 30-years until I bought it in 2020 from the son of the man who owned it. Luckily, the sheath survived the drawer in great condition.

Here it is as I bought it

And here it is with a light spa treatment and sharpening.

These are handy little knives. Not too large to fit in the pocket of a hunting coat for a backup yet small enough to ride unnoticed on a belt in balmier weather.
 
I call this knife my 'Chef's Special' :) It was gifted to me by Duane sitflyer sitflyer not long after I became a regular poster on The Porch :)

OKC honored at least three finger lakes on their 125th anniversary.

The Cayuga is still barely available from the guys who sent me the Seneca (top) without a sheath. I'm hoping they just forgot to throw one in and they can send it separately. Their Llamaland pictures include the sheath.
