Today my wife received a schrade 219 she purchased from someone online. I really paid it no attention until it arrived and I seen it. She said it was new in the package, so I really expected a tube or box. It came in a blister/clamshell plastic package. I've heard the model was discontinued in the late 70s to early 80s, and that jigged delrin was done with around 83-84. The packaging has a date of 1991. The little cardboard insert says that the knife is "shaving sharp carbon steel" and of course made in USA. The tang reads SCHRADE USA 219. I've never seen a "open stock " in a blister pack, or even a 219 in one. Did schrade find a forgotten stash and decided to put them in packs and sell them or is my time frame off?? As stated it's jigged delrin with the schrade sheild. It's not schrade walden. The package is yellowed and crispy, but shows no signs of being opened or tampered with. Unfortunately she will have to find her another as u have confiscated this one. Sorry no pics available but would appreciate some help in clearing this mystery up!
