I have been rummaging around of late while being housebound after back surgery. (Boredom to the max trying to be as inactive as the doctor recommends.) I came across a Schrade Ltd. knife that I got in a multiple knife deal several years ago that baffles me. It came in a Schrade Walden hinged cardboard with an insert about Schrade Meerschaum. It most certainly is not. The Ltd mark makes me think end of days knife, the odd bolsters appear battered and bead-blasted and the scales look to me to be some random junk wood fitted.
My guess is that someone robbed the (likely) bone scales of the Ltd knife and traded out the cobbled together scales. The scales are clearly wood and seem to be delaminating near one pin and on the edges.It doesn't show well in my images.
