For your consideration:
I've got here a 1977 Schrade Scrimshaw series Folding Hunter, model 261SC.
According to Codger, over here, this was one of two years Schrade did a scrimshaw 261, and this version was the one made in 1977. Based on what I have read here and on other sites, this was a stamped on scrimshaw, and the handles are a man-made material.
This is in remarkably good shape for 45 years old. To my eye, it has not been cut with significantly (if at all) and not sharpened. Quite snappy, and I would call the pull between 5 and 6. It comes with the original box, which has some purple tint on part of it. The sheath is in great shape, except I think the leather has gotten a bit dried over the last 4.5 decades. I do not want to do anything to it, but I suspect a little mink oil will restore this thing very well.
I am asking$110 $90 TYD (that's with PP F&F. $100 if paying with G&S). If you've got something interesting to trade, I am open to offers. Also, if I have priced this wrong, please let me know and I'll raise the price appropriately.
I have taken many many pictures to try to show you the knife as well as possible. But if you need any extra info, feel free to PM!
