<p>Good Evening!</p>
<p>I recently got an old Schrade 3 blade pocketknife that was very heavily corroded. It was so bad, that I could not open it with a screwdriver or a pair of pliers.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After about 2 weeks of soaking it in Kroil, I managed to open it. I did quite a bit of cleaning it up, and it ended up being a rather nice little knife.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have tried to ID it with no success. The best I can come up with so far is that it is older than 1946.</p>

<p>Can anyone help me out in figuring out what this knife is?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am attaching a couple of pics of it. If there is any additional information or pictures that I can provide, please let me know.</p>

<p>Did the circa 1978 to 1984 Old Timer 858/858OT Lumberjack Stockman have pinned construction or the Swinden Key? </p>
<p></p>
<p>I don't understand why it wasn't a more popular model.</p>
<p></p>
<p>At only 4 5/8 /4.625 inch closed, it's not "too big" and not "too small" for loose in the bottom of the pocket carry. The "perfect" EDC stockman.</p>

<p></p> Trying to Determine Age of an Ulstertag:iknifecollector.com,2017-09-28:3181080:Topic:15005662017-09-28T17:49:57.944ZJohn McCainhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/JohnMcCain
I was gifted an Ulster Barlow.<br />
The tang stamp on the mark side is two lines:<br />
"ULSTER<br />
KNIFE USA"<br />
The pile side of the main has a "10" tang stamp. I presume the "10" is the pattern number.<br />
<br />
I have been told the Ulster over Knife USA stamp is post 1941.<br />
I would like to narrow down the age a bit more.<br />
As you may know, there is not a lot out in web-space on Ulster Tang Stamps.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know what years Ulster used this tang stamp?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

<p>I got my first Schrade Bowie from Herman Williams several years ago. Ever since that first one, I've been on the hunt. In the 70's Schrade started making Commemorative Bowies for different organizations. Schrade did not put their name on these knives as they were strictly special orders.

<p>I got my first Schrade Bowie from Herman Williams several years ago. Ever since that first one, I've been on the hunt. In the 70's Schrade started making Commemorative Bowies for different organizations. Schrade did not put their name on these knives as they were strictly special orders. No one really knows how many of each were made or sold. The NRA Bicentennial Bowie is fairly common while it is estimated that there are probably less than 50 of the Daniel Boone Bowies. The first one made was for Smith & Wesson commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Texas Rangers. The next 5 commemoratives had a larger blade in a little different style and were etched by Aurum Etching. The Nra Bowie was the only one that was etched on both sides. All 6 of these knives had wood handles. Recently, I completed my collection of these 6 knives. I sent them to Herman Williams for file work and to be re-handled. He used sections of German Stag that he cut from some old antler chandliers that he had found in an antique store in Virginia. Herman signed all of these on the top of the guard. The Texas Ranger Bowie has a S# on the top spine of the blade and was not file worked because of this.</p>
