All About Pocket Knives

I bid on this lot mostly for the Leatherman and SAKs. Got it for $24 Figured this was a cheapo, with the odd tang stamp. Then, I noticed the rear stamp "SW CUT". I think this is the bicentennial knife produced for Parker Frost in 1976.

It will probably end up being traded for something; but it's used/carried, making it worth little . I do enjoy the 881/8OT variants, and I already have two users (a Sabre Monarch USA 231 Schrade made for Cole; and a banged up 881 that's my work knife), but this knife just doesn't look that attractive to me. Though, the yellow scales will make it harder to lose.

Schrade had some better looking knives than that, no doubt. The knife has a very similar build look to the imperial frontier series, which I believe were camillus made.

It's interesting about the Frontier series by Imperial, some were indeed made by Camillus and some were made in Providence Rhode Island at the Imperial Factory. There were even many of them made in the Schrade Factory with the Swinden Key system!
I have never counted them to figure out which patterns were made where but I would say it's roughly about a third of the patterns were made in each factory.
