stockman spey blade question

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

stockman spey blade question

Post by kossetx »

Evening folks, Did spey blades have different grinds? I have a '81 6347 with the "for flesh only" etch and an '78 that doesn't have it. Any ideas?

As the 1970s progressed it seems the etch became more hit and miss depending on the pattern, especially the 087. Some time in the 1980s, around 1983 or thereabouts they discontinued it totally on all patterns.

The presence or lack of the etch has nothing to do with the blade grind.
