Re: Help identifizieren jigging

Pretty inconceivable for any knife to have early Rogers jig bone on a modern knife, fake or not. Rogers started jigging bone in 1891.

Re: tang stamp

I think that because of the lack of pins near the bolsters that the knife was made by Bear and Sons. They started around 1990. The lack of pins near the bolsters was a standard practice of theirs at one point and maybe still is. If the knife was an older pattern made by Remington themselves it surel...

Re: Schrade 293 or 294?

It seems over the years that there was nothing surprising coming out of the Schrade factory. I have several models that blades have been interchanged during manufacturing. "It is what it is" as they say.

Re: Schrade 293 or 294?

The Schrade 293 is indeed a two blade trapper. One spey and one clip blade. The 294 is one clip and one pen blade. clips were the same usually on the 293 and 294. Blades were just used in different frames, if the factory had run dry on a certain pattern.

Thanks Russell. I was pretty sure the wood came from the decks but was not positive.

Re: Look Mom I Cobbled a Canal Street

I think if you look closely, the knife is lit from above and the cut out for the shield has a shadow inside the cut out making it appear off center. looks like the knife has been out in he rain, worm holes are legit as in other knives they made with the reclaimed wood.
