SCHRADE Presto m2 for SHAPLEIGH HDW!

Post by accujohn »

My little knife heart skipped a beat when I saw this today at an antique mall. It skipped a few more times when I saw everything was original and the action perfect. Price wise, I got it at a tiny fraction of it's worth. Definitely a keeper but I was wondering if any of you had ever seen this schrade model made for Shapleigh? I know there was a few other models. Any info would be appreciated but mostly I just wanted to share with you all! ::woot::

If it's 4 1/2" it's a KS110, 4 7/8" it's a KS104 in the Keen Kutter tang stamp. Books for $275-$300 mint according to Alvin Sellens' book. Great looking find! ::tu::

It's definitely closer to 5". It's marked Shapleigh diamond edge. I realize they bought Keen Kutter but this is not marked under that line
