Re: Old knives with tipped bolsters

Here is a Schrade Cutlery knife. Very sharp. Good snap
and half-stops.
Made in the 40's?

Thanks for the comments, Toomanyknives, Doglegg, and Dan.

Thank you Skip!

Here is an old LF&C.
someone liked it enough, if you look closely, they scratched their initials on it in a couple places.
