I liked the old school schrades, new stuff does not seem to have the quality of the old blades. 

I carried a small three blade schrade pocket knife everyday of middle, high school, and college.  Then I lost it. 

My dad and gradpop always carried schrades.  They were a decent knife.

Yep, I have that one and the drop point too. I like the trailing point for skinning and the drop point for gutting. I have so many newer knives through the years I can't remember the last time I used them, though.

Sorry not custom but somewhat vintage. The first five on left except the bark river are from the seventies. A Buck, Case and two Gerbers all made in the USA. Funny thing my brother Doug told me to buy a big knife because we were going black bear hunting in the Deadstream swamp up north. The knife has to be a foot long !
I think around here that Schrade had to be one of the most popular in the day especially for the money

Darn it Kev, now I have to dig out the Queen gut hook knife you got me.
Isn't the knife between the Case and the Gerbers an old Wolverine?

Bought one of these about 25 years ago on a visit to Orlando.  Still have it and use frequently but the blade is a little worn down now from sharpening.  Has been a good knife.

I got my brother-in-law an Uncle Henry Golden Spike for Christmas a hundred years ago...he went antelope hunting outside of Glenrock and left the knife on the bumper of his truck and drove away....Schrade sent him a NEW KNIFE!

I have a Golden Spike too Ed.  Decent knife despite the false antler grip.  Have used it on the last few deer hunts.

A zillion years ago I was in Jackson Hole and bought myself a Bowen ( Blackshear, GA ) locking folding knife that was a copy of the OLDE Remington from yesteryear....I bought one for me and Charlie, my brother-in-law....
