Any comments appreciated.

Hi all I am posting this knife for galvanic1882 who wrote what is below.

" I would like some info on what I think is a RARE Schrade knife. I hope the pictures are good enough for inspection of the knife. It is 3 1/2" closed and very beefy. The blade are tight and snap with athority both when opening and closeing. The stamp is SCHRADE, in and arch over CUT. CO. over WALDEN N.Y. The Walden part is mostly hidden because of the way the blades sit in the handle. The knife was sold to me by a life member of the NCCA who also is the auctioneer at the Sat night auction at what is now the 2 day Mystic show. The knife has also been looked over by officers of the club who all agree it is a rare one. Here comes the fun part, others have seen the knife when it was auctioned off on ebay and have said it was put together with parts!! The reasoning is that it is not in any Schrade books, blades should be on the other end etc!!! I recently found the green handled Utica on ebay but was not the high bidder but show it because it also is the same odd pattern not often seen.I have wanted to post this for awhile to see what comments it would bring and finally got around to it. So have at it guys and girls tell me your thoughts."

Abalone pearl PYRALIN handle brass lined with Nickel Silver fancy lined Bolsters and banner shield. BLADES- One spear point pen and one large Clip point blade, polished and etched.
