There may well have been. I once saw a serrate-sheepfoot Schrade of some extra fancy wooden-handled type at the mall in Salamanca. Salamanca's on the way home after I've spent enough, though, so I left it.
I think this one is a Camillus second (or maybe third) bought from the large e-tailer that picked the carcass of Camillus. Although this one appears never to have had a tang stamp, rather than having had the stamp ground off or exed through. The dark side looks like Buck handle material.
I used the terminal serration to whittle smooth a split thumbnail before it could rip down to where it hurts. Seriously sharp.
Here it is with a Buck 303 and a well-finished Camillus, and a picture of the other side.
Certainly some family resemblance there!

These three today at different times of their life. New (Case), broken in (GEC), and old faithful (D-D).

Thoroughly thrilling threesome, Alan! :thumbup:
Been carrying this peanut for the past two months every day, which earned him the nick "old trusty".
Using it on food, the patina is coming along nicely.
ISKRA, your Peanut looks like a real prize!
And welcome to The Porch!
...
Thanks GT
Well, it's certainly a small world, but I've only lived in Leeds for 15 years, and I think that may have been before then. I do remember going to a free gig at Sheffield Students Union in the late 70's (a beer festival I think), and one of the bands, whom nobody had heard of at the time, was
Dire Straits.
...
Thanks, Jack. I was hoping we could count on you for a good tale! :thumbup:
Thanks for showing the blades, Gev; looking fine!
Today it's an old Christopher Johnson Barlow...
[/IMG]
Bob and Atiger, those are couple of first-class Barlows! :thumbup:
...
Thanks, Gary. Ring-openers are cool; so you must be one of the cool guys.
...
For me today, the same as yesterday, my new Case Stockman and my almost EDC TC Barlow.
...
Thanks, Dean; plenty of people have told me I'm not so hot - is that the same as cool??
Your new walnut jigged straight stockman is certainly impressive! :thumbup:
...
The only time this knife has left my side since I picked it up on August 11th is the 10 days that her D2 counterpart took her place. She's been a trusty companion for these last 5 weeks or so.
Good story, Cory!
I admire and envy the meaningful relationship you're developing with your knife (or twin knives). :thumbup:
...
Thanks for the comment Gary and I'm liking that ring opener. Very nice.
Today I carried these two.
Have a great evening everyone!
Ken K.
Thanks, Ken. I like your meritorious pair of "Old World" knives! :thumbup:
57 Whittler I recently acquired from a member!
...
Congrats, Bretnuh, that 57 is a beauty!

Double O for me today
As always, Ron, your
OO l
OOks g
OOd! :thumbup:
Opposites attract. One is light in color, long and lean. The other is dark, stout, and muscular. Both are approximately 3 inches closed.
...
Nice comparison shots, Travman, of a couple of superb knives. :thumbup: (I have to confess that seeing those two together reminds me of how "cartoonish" the massive size (edge-to-spine height in particular) of some current pocket knife blades seems to me. YMMV
)
...
That's a magnificent pair, Brett! :thumbup: The pearl-covered knife really caught my attention this morning!
Another expert photo of your lambsfoot, FBC!
...
Thanks, GT! And, thanks for the laugh.
I always enjoy seeing the canoes from your fleet. :thumbup:
...
Thanks for the canoe comments, Greg!
...
Lick Creek Barlow and Arthur Wright Lambsfoot today
:thumbup:
...
Preeminent pair, Jack. The lambsfoot in particular seems the Wright choice for Wooden Wednesday! :thumbup:
