Wire handle folder copper alloy blade

[Gene Chapman]

Renently I aquired a Schrade wire handle folder which has a copper alloy/bronze blade. Mentioned in Glen Davis web site it was used for explosive handlers work, powder monkey??. Anyone have any more info on this folder.
i have several schrade scout knife fork spoon kits and a larger wire handle fishing knife with scaler.
Thanks

Gene,
Interesting. Never seen one of these with an alloy blade.
Here is an article about the wire blades.

Thanks, it will have a spot in a new CD I'm writing.
