Most of the cross-branded patterns in the Schrade family are well known and abundant in the marketplace, but this pair here is really quite rare. I found a Shapleigh version of the Schrade 917. I didn't know the DE410 existed so I haven't been looking for one - I have no idea if it's a rare knife but the 917 is ridiculously rare. I've only seen four 917s. As much as I love peach seed, I gotta say this one's looking better to me dressed in Fibestos. Here ya go:

I’m with you, the Fibestos covers are much more attractive. Your knife is in amazingly good condition. Every red fibre handled Ka-Bar scout/utility pattern that I’ve ever owned has had badly cracked and/or warped handle covers.

Same here including with vintage German knives.

Just for fun, here is one with perfect celluloid handles that is one hundred to one hundred sixteen years old.

WOW..... Cal..... that is a really nice knife to be that old.
ESPECIALLY having cell handles!
That is a real gem!!
