Not sure what you mean by the Custom Collaborations Series in 2003? These that I have posted are all USA Collaborations.

I have a question

I think the Custom Collaboration series was done in 2003 but are they USA made or China? Isnt that right on the line of the change to China?

I must have messed up on my attempt to reply to the 2003 collaboration discussion, so I'll try again. Schrade and D'holder got together for a millennium collaboration in 2000. The 2000 milleniem Schrade D'holder knives have a distinctive tapered tang. The first production run of 500 have a serial # on the spine and are etched First Production Run over 1 of 500 on the pile side, and Schrade over D'holder on the obverse side. In 2003 D'holder started another series for Schrade. There were to be 5 knives in the series but only 4 were made due to the bankruptcy. Research on anything Schrade can be confusing as they kept very few records. When you speak of Schrade's made in China, that would be knives produced by Taylor LLC. that bought the rights to the Schrade name after the bankruptcy in 2004.
