A tip on posting photos. At the photobucket website put your cursor on the picture simply copy the IMG Code and paste it into your forum topic.

Sure looks like real stag, not the imitation "staglon."

Sorry I don't know more about your knife. :(
 
What's the ES, European stag? That'll take some digging :D

Nice looking knife Ryan :thumbup:

Ya done good Ryan, definitely an uncommon example!

Found a order for SMKW 5OT bone with the 440 stamp.
They also did a NYK 5OT in bone.
No quantities yet.
 
It is interesting that the “440 STAINLESS” etch is on the blade and the tang stamp has the SCHRADE+ tang stamp.
I guess if anyone had any doubts as to the composition of Schrade+ steel that pretty well settles the issue.

Well, in that particular time period it does. They used other steels and also called them "Schrade+".
 
There are 4 different types of "440 STAINLESS" too with different amounts of carbon and different properties as a result (440A, 440B, 440C, 440F). I've never seen a knife which was made from 440F but I have certainly seen all of the other three used.

I think Schrade mainly used 440A but I have a suspicion that one 1980's UH167 I used to have was 440C because of the way it sharpened and held an edge but don't quote me on this.

Here's a quick link on steel types: http://hho4free.com/stainless_steel_types.htm
 
Hey folks, figured I'd post up the paperwork now that I'm back on-line. Along with the 5OT, there was also a PH1 and PH2 that went with this order, also in stag (although the "bone" that's penciled in makes me wonder if it was to be bone stag). There was also in the order (not copied) a micarta Ph1 and PH2 as well. Each knife was in an edition of 300 pieces:
