I think that's a Schrade H-15 sheath. The handle has some woodworm damage in it. I swished it in dirty kerosene.
 
In todays mail call. Suprise package from a very generous member who wants to be anonymous.

2023 Victorinox Limited Edition Companion Swiss Spirit.
It has replaced the Huntsman on my belt. (on a Quick Release MOLLY belt clip like the one shown.)
A "DM" neck knife. 8670 blade steel. It has replaced the no-name neck knife I been carrying.

UPDATE: If the blade hadn’t been off center on the first one I received, I would’ve owned a real nice large stag lockback like I wanted. The seller offered me a refund but said he had another if I wanted an exchange. Now, I don’t have a nice knife I have a very special piece. I bought this because I couldn’t/wouldn’t spend the money for a vintage German knife. I want to thank Mike Latham of Collector Knives for bringing the Maniago cutlers to my attention. If not for him I would not have had the faith to take the chance on this Mercury. This is a superb knife.
 
This #89 Camillus Stockman came in the mail Friday. I’ve really been getting into 70’s Delrin handled Stockmans in the last few months. These are the knives I grew up with.There’s just something I appreciate about a USA made working man’s knife.

I'll add that the bolsters add another interesting element to your knife.

I liked the Otter 07 Sapeli with the lever lock so much that decided to get the back lock version. The lever lock, although nice and firm, has some issues. The lever gets in the way, so "normal" back lock should be easier in everyday use. Also the lever makes it a bit difficult to make a suitable belt sheath. So when the back lock version comes available (should happen in a few weeks) I will order one from my trusted web shop.

Well, crap. The carbon steel version stays unavailable and I really would not like to order from some obscure webshop. The stainless version is ok for food prep, but not much else 😠
