Re: Let's see that ephemera!
I recently bought two lots of 1979 paperwork. This is a 3-page unused folder that would have been filled with flyers and handed out to dealers etc.
1979 and 1980 were the two years when the Schrade Beast was their mascot. I was 12 in 1979 and I was subscribed to 5 of the US publications listed and some Canadian publications that Schrade advertised in as well. These dates represent when my younger self first got hooked on Schrade. 1979 was a great year with the introduction of the 144UH, 7OT, 156OT and 848OT. Obviously the two 75th Anniversary knives were also great 1979 offerings.
At 12, the "Guide's Choice" knife blew my mind. What's cooler than being a backcountry Guide?

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
Here are scans of my 1979 Schrade Almanac. Much Beast. I'm going to send high-res versions to Larry (lrv) as an upgrade for his records. I'm highly tempted to try and use the iron-on beast transfer.

Love it. Mine looks like a bad mimeograph copy.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
Thanks Larry! I'll send you an amazondrive link to the original .tiff files. They are quite huge but very sharp and detailed. You can shrink and reformat copies as desired.
The newspaper-sized Almanac is way too big for my scanner. I took three 300dpi scans per page, stitched them back together with photoshop then rotated and cropped and finally did some exposure and lighting tweaks for readability.
The 41 year-old newsprint is more brittle than it would have been originally and is quite yellowed. I wanted my own scans to read so that I can put the original away. I like the results.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
This is one item out of a group of cutlery ephemera that I recently bought.
It's a hardware store notebook, inventory book, etc. It has a KEEN KUTTER logo on the front cover
and on almost all of the pages inside. But what I didn't know, until I received the item, was that on the
back cover, besides advertising KEEN KUTTER and a bunch of other products, it advertises SCHRADE CUTLERY.
On the inside of the book, I found the SCHRADE ad. So here it is.

The Schrade 3rd Generation ad helps date the notebook as they were introduced in the early 1980's.

That is a really cool PC Skip.
I love PCs that have real photos on 'em. Lots of history preserved that way.
