Greatshow guys!
My first USA knife at 12 was a Schrade 8OT. I know Schrade made them for Buck back in the day. I believe that is the lower knife. I also beleive the upper knife is made by Camilus in the early 60's. Any further info would be appreciated.
These knives have really nice fit. I bet the assembly line process back then was alot different than now.
Actually, both of those knives were made for Buck by Schrade. The top, with the grooved bolsters, is a first version (1967); bottom is a second version (1968-1972).
Nice show gentleman, thanks for the photos. JB, I like your scrimmed Dukes. Are they print/ethcings or actual scrimmed? DM
Is that really you in the bolster????

Congratusltions to your "Birds of prey"
A few more informations you find in the Model History From BCC "Special Projects"
I'm only missing the "Loon". And to answer your question: not all are engraved.
Fifty fifty have the limited ed. engraving. The engraving is 1-1000 at the birds of prey,
the geese and the ducks have 1-2000
Best,
Haebbie
Hi Herbert,
I have only seen the Loon scrim 500 once on ebay! I need to find one of each of the 1997 Water Fowl issue set. If I rember those are engraved on the back of the blade? You have a fantastic set there haebbie!, thanks for the photo.
This is the blade engraving that I'm talking about on the 1998 BOP set.
