Chris .. I don't know this for a fact .. but think about it .. WHY would shrade or anybody do that .. were they ashamed of it .. not schrade/case/buck/western/etc that I'm aware of .. I would certainly question !!!

 

..just an opinion..

Thanks guys.  I'm gonna pass on this one. The knife in question is a "Purina" knife. 

I collect feed&seed pocket knifes and the Purina ones are my favorite and the ones I know the most history on.  They have been made by about 6 different companies in a variety of patterns.  Schrade has made a Purina knife, but the only ones I've seen, didn't have the red and white checkerboard handles. Instead, "Purina" was etched on the large blade...and it had a tang stamp.

Although I'm fairly confident in my knowledge of  these knifes, I knew very little about all Schrade tang stamps. And now I can say that with the resources you shared with me, I know quite a bit. Heck, I can even tell the time period a Schrade was made by the tangs now.

 

I needed confirmation and got it from you guys. For that, I thank you each. If I could, I would have you all over for a beer and some Cheetos....(maybe one day!!).

 

 

Oh yeah, another red flag was waved when I noticed this guy has sold over 50 of these (new and mint) knives since 2007....ranging from $13 to $35.  Not a bad gig, huh?

I'm not going to contradict Trent, the Schrade Knives Collectors Forum over on BF is THE place to go. There are a few ex-Schrade employees posting over there which is an amazing, invaluable asset.

But, here on iKC we've recently (May 2011) set up the group Schrade Et Al. and I just wanted update this thread so iKC members would be aware there's a place to talk Schrade without leaving home.
