Excited about this find! Full set with matching serial numbers. 5 knives total. Micarta handles with beautiful Scrimshaw artwork. SC 500,504,596,597, & 535. I think these were sold in the early 80's.

Very Nice Set there NC....I have them as well, although mine are not matched serial numbers. Great find!

A matched set is a nice find 30 years later.

American Express if I remember reading correctly in the past.
 
I think those sets are some of the nicest Schrade ever did. Some people may not realize that the handles are Micarta, not Delrin, and that different examples of the SAME knife (e.g. Tom Jefferson) are signed by DIFFERENT artists, and are, indeed, slightly different art when examined closely! After the close of the company, some of these Micarta-handled knives both with and without any blade etch made it onto the market. In that case the handles are generally blank. And yet another anomaly appeared, one of the Micarta "big-timer" lockbacks were seeded out with a scrim of two whitetail bucks sparring. That design was never intended for that pattern; it appeared on a liner-lock folding hunter, I believe. At one time these 'fighting buck' lockbacks were believed to be very rare, less than 100, but I now believe that more were made, because I have seen about a dozen go across the Bay.
Very nice display, NCBlade! Thanks for showing it.
 
You can really see those layers in the micarta especially in those fatter scales that have been shaped down to meet the bolsters flush.

The butterscotch pudding color is definitely very unique as well.
