I've shown these in other threads, all are counterfeit, the story goes that there a man in Ky that made knives and put them in a bucket went to knife shows all over the country and sold them. There is several people that have made comments about said feller on aapk. These are supposed to be some that he produced, shame he didn't just put his name on them and sell them.
Oh wow! I guess I missed those threads. Thanks for the explanation. Are the tangs marked? I need to watch out for those. They sure are pretty, and I love equal end jacks. Thanks again!
Click they should enlarge. Holley mfg.- Belnap- valley Forge- Utica kutmaster and zenith / marshal wells.
Thanks for the close-ups Homer. Some great looking knives in there. Appreciate the help and pics and have a great weekend bud.

Hard to tell who made what? Have a Ulster Model 98 & a Schrade Model 881 with Federal Shield is about the only difference that stands these 2 apart love the Peach Seed Jigging which I think is outstanding on a knife. The Ulster has something on the main Clip point that I thought was interesting (Property of the US Govt). Very Light have to get it just right in the light.

KK: Hate to be a doubter but could that bottom one be some kind of plastic? It looks shrunken at the bolsters. I have a Gov't. Schrade that is plastic peach seed just like it. There was a long discussion somewhere on the forum about those Gov't.issue knives. I hope it's bone, but....? J.O'.

Beautiful I-Man! Cris Reeves and two sweet bones! Out of sight! (reposting my weekend carry )
Thanks bud, but unfortunately the "Chris Reeves" is $40 counterfeit. Nothing authentic on it. The other two I was told are fakes too, but they are so well done it blows me away. Thanks again.

Nice knives. Love that jigging. A similar one just came in. Walden 880. Thought it was an 881 when I pulled the trigger. Very similar.

I applaud how you can hunt down the finest examples of all these knives, Iman! Another wonderful knife you have there! Here's an old Schrade Cut Co. Jack I have with similar jigging..

Got this gem about 3 years ago and it’s one of my favorite knives. Not sure if the covers are stag or stag bone but either way it’s a terrific knife.
Great knife, Oscar! Enjoy your drive in the mountains today!

Very nice of you to mention, gonna make me blush. Thanks thanks thanks. But I have to say it's just watching others around here like JohnR and Case XX, Knifeslinger, and others who continuously bring out the beauties of old who deserve the real mention. They taught me all I know and more. Thanks to them and thank you.
