schrade extreme survival knife under 16$

"Guess we'll never know. "

Post #17 is the resurrection of a 2007 thread. I am new and am learning that new posters often resuscitate old posts, trading knowingly or otherwise on the numbers of previous views and posts in a thread, garnering new responses, possibly from unsuspecting members.

Multiple resuscitations by the same poster ??? Well, I watch ...
 
Honestly, glad to hear your intention! Not less observant, but a lot more appreciative!

I'm usually better at spotting that, but Codger got me this time. It looked like he posted in the same time frame. But obviously, he didn't. :o
 
Just for Susan's sake, the newer Taylor Brands Schrade Extreme Survival SCHF9 is not a copy of a Schrade knife, is high carbon steel and made in Taiwan, designed by our forum's own Mistwalker. It you want an inexpensive heavy beater, you might look at those.

It should be noted, however, that the SCHF9 has been out of stock everywhere, for quite some time. I have been looking for one to try out for a couple a months.
 
I (Susan) have been haunting the 'for sale fixed blades' forum and have dropped many a heart beat as treasures, in my eyes, have been sold. Only since joining BF have I come to understanding the feel of the handle and the utility of the blade. I always thought my knives were sharp! A tool I have used for all my life is now new to me. That's ok. Better than ok, actually. High carbon steel ... hey, I have to go to Tim Horton's wifi to view Mistwalker's nikon posts ... dialup ... but so worth the travel! Thanks. A heavy beater could welcome a life with me. s
 
On Schrade´s website, there is no word about it being discontinued. But none of the major online dealers has them in stock. And it has been this way for months. Believe me, I have looked around.
 
The page at Knifecenter says "Delayed by the Manufacturer" and instead of a Buy button it has a Preorder button.
 
25.13? I paid 42.99 at [Removed] It has to be a knock off or a used one.

If a company buys the rights and patents to another company's products, how would knives by the new company be 'copies', as they are made by the now owner of the knife rights and patents? I keep seeing 'copy' referred to in this thread and it confuses me.
 
If Dhatsu bought the rights and patents to a '66 Ford Mustang from Ford and had them made overseas from different materials using different workers, would you expect collectors to give the same dollars for the copy of the '66 Mustang as they would for an original in the same unused condition? Would you expect them to consider the "new" Mustangs originals? Or would they consider them close but not exact copies?

More precisely, Imperial Schrade the knife making company no longer exists. "Schrade" is now a nostalgia branding used on knives the IP owner has made offshore and imported. Even the copies are not exact. There are significant differences apparent to anyone who is familiar with the originals.

The VW Bug was made for over a decade in Mexico post German importation to the US. Made by different hands but owned by the company that owned the rights to the car. Same goes to the Schrade brand. Same quality? Dunno. Same Brand and design, yup. So is it the same knife. Yup.

BTW, if a company turned out Ford Mustangs AND owned the Ford brand, patents, and style, then darn right it's still a Ford Mustang. But is it a 1966? Not unless it was made in 1966. Bad example. Is a Dodge still a Dodge. You Betcha. And we all know who owns them.
