You’re welcome.

There are quite a few bone schrades around. Ebay often has a few but they will usually be in lower condition. Other collectors and sellers/traders of old knives tend to have the best old schrades. Hit as many antique stores and flea markets as you can also, very nice knives can sometimes be found in those places.


Very nice stockmans Wayne. The shapleigh looks to be schrade made to me but I don’t recall seeing that pattern before. Scarce knife for sure.
