I didn't know any better, I suppose, but I thought my scout knife with all of its indispensable tools was far superior to the clip/pen jack I used to have to borrow from my Dad if I needed to cut stuff!


Lambsfoot knives to ring out the old year:

and I thought my stockman was all I ever needed, when I was a kid. That is quite the lamb collection. I need one of those wooden Hartsheads. One is all you need !

What a gorgeous lock back !!! ... and couldn't have found a better home. NICE
The bolster stamp SW [HEAD] 0 indicates the knife is a 1980 release ... and still looks brand spanking new
As far as I know, they were only released as such in 1980 and 1981
I have a Schrade Wostenholm Canoe released in 1980 (has same bolster stamp as yours)

Thank you brother Jim. I would like to see your Canoe from the series.

I did a quick research about the history before I bought it (at a very attractive price) ........... I liked the blade etches and the pretty red bone, similar to the old Case red bones. I don't think it had ever been used or sharpened.

Interesting piece of cutlery history Mr P I knew at least 2 cutlers who were involved in the project, including a former brother-in-law. Camillus made many of the parts, and they were shipped over to the old Richards factory in Sheffield, by Imperial-Schrade, who had recently bought the firm, made up into knives, and shipped back to the USA, with considerable secrecy in Sheffield. My dad used to have that particular model, but with stag covers, while I had the larger lock-back. Ours had plain bolsters


Double stag for me again Have a great New Year's Eve folks, and best wishes for 2023

Thank you for that information Mr. Jack. That made me like it even better.
A fine pair for you today and I wish you a happy New Year as well.
Last Friday, it was -7 degrees with a -31 degree wind chill here. This Friday, it was 64 degrees at 7:00 p.m.
Last day of 2022 !

As a family we enjoy playing cards here too, John. We'll break into a Euchre match today, daughters, son in laws and grandkids all know the game. It is a good way to keep the group around the table enjoying each others company after a big meal. Have a good weekend and a great new year.

Sounds like a great time to me... hope your New Year is a great one.

Me too... It's a game for the younger people or habitual drinkers.
