Hey folks, just wanted to make you aware that Schrade NEVER used this kind of cover on their knives. In fact they never used a shield like that either. I noticed some folks are actually bidding on that one so figured it might be a good idea to put a warning up. Take note of that massively over buffed pen blade too, there's absolutely no shoulder left on the tang.

Thanks Eric.
Re: NOT an Original Schrade Cut Co
Here are the auction photos. Tang stamps look a little wonky as well??? Thanks for posting Eric.

Re: NOT an Original Schrade Cut Co
Yeah Eric, agree on the bone, and the stamps are not real either.
The does look like nice old bone, but as you said nothing like any bone ever used by Schrade.
This seller has some knives up that look good, and some that look like Myrtle Faye specials.

The listing has ended. Hopefully it was pulled after the seller became aware of the red flags that rose.

Re: NOT an Original Schrade Cut Co
This seller has 15 knives listed which by title are all very collectible vintage USA folding knives. It would be helpful to know which are the "Myrtle Faye specials".
I could of spotted the Schrade Cut Co. as a fake but i do not know enough about the other brands to reliably spot the fakes.

Re: NOT an Original Schrade Cut Co
Yes, good catch there. That definitely does not look like any Winter bottom bone that I ever saw. In places the cuts criss-cross, very similar to older Japanese scrat jigging.
And the tang stamps are way too crisp to be in over-buffed blades.
Admittedly those of you more familiar with older Schrader knives can pick out more than I did, but those were what caught my eye.
