For your amusement a blast from he past, uni-body locking folder clip point with fish scaler, made by G. Schrade for Boker:

A few more photos of this simple and clean folding blast from the past:

Weight: 2.19 ounces

Length: Just under 8.5 inches overall open (just over 4.75" closed)

Thickness: about 3/16 inches

Note: The handle design is stamped (moose & marlin) while the blade is etched (Boker, tree and Tree Brand)

very nice

60 years old, un-used and, astonishingly, only $10 delivered. My guess is that it is one of the first locking folder. Genius IMHO.

Great pics. :thumbup:

I was given a small, single-blade Camillus "What-a-Knife" a while back, and the simple design and simplicity of it is very appealing. It gets carried occasionally. It's only something like 3-1/4" closed, but it performs like a much larger knife.

Boker bought out the G. Schrade cutlery in the late 1950's and ran it a few yeaars before closing it. It was made by Boker for Boker. You will find automatics and fixed blades from this era with the same markings.
