  • 3-3/4" Schrade Cut Co.

    Here's a pretty hard to find Schrade Cut Co with full bolsters in stunning peachseed bone.   Full unsharpened blades.  Love to find them in this shape.

  • Minty Case

    Just picked up this little Cutie.  Unsharpened mint with the exception of a few peppers that were semichrome away.  Clean inside and out. Hard to find in both bone and this condition.

  • Schrade Walden MIL-K-10043
