In my first post I claimed that the paperwork would say China in very small print. When Tongueriver chimed in it jogged my busted memory and I recalled that the knife I had back then said Taylor Brand (s) in small print on the paperwork and not China. I'm strongly considering Cal's claim of Camillus origin. At least for parts if not in whole. I just don't know.
Here is some support for Cal's claim, imo. These "Whittler" limited edition knives look to be the same knife as the one in question. Just a different shield and tang stamp. I have this notion that I can pick out a Camillus knife in a picture next to a Schrade/Ellenville/Walden knife. I think this "Whittler" is Camillus made, and it came out real late in Schrade's history. So......

Re: Is this knife legit?
There seems to be plenty of old original Schrade knives out there for me to lust after with out getting confused by these 2004 knives. I have to confess I did throw a couple of low bids in on it but didn't want it as bad as some other folks. Would have been interesting to look at up close I guess. Went for $36.00 + $5.00 Postage

Re: Is this knife legit?
I am reasonably certain these have been made for Taylor by Utica, in two or three colors of bone. I believe Utica also has sold them with their own stamping. Look familiar?

Yep, Utica used this same bone (and pattern) on the Big Pine series.

YIKES!! $140?? Why would anyone pay that much for that thing? I payed $44 and $50 for my genuine Schrade Cigar Box Classic trappers. I'm thinking Case trappers are less than that. Think of the nice old Schrade you could buy with that money. smhtongueriver wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:36 pm I am reasonably certain these have been made for Taylor by Utica, in two or three colors of bone.

Re: Is this knife legit?
I noticed several dealers have similar Utica Trappers (Utica discontinued the Catskill and Big Pine lines years ago) for $40. And these are said to be nowhere near the finish of a Case. My Klein Uticas are awful.Mustanger wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:25 pmYIKES!! $140?? Why would anyone pay that much for that thing?
