I bought a Schrade USA 285UH in the 90's and out of the box it is a totally blond knife. Does anybody have any info on this knife
 
Here is one 897UH pattern from my collection which I suspect is like the one you vaguely describe. It is undyed and shows only the base material color.

Here is an 897UH family photo showing the undyed example beside one fully dyed but not glazed.

Yep. Same. We have never found an official answer to these. I recall three or four patterns that have been found. We note that they have been glazed flush with the bolsters even though undyed. Some have the final edge sharpening and some don't. The black ones were never glazed so the covers don't flush out with the bolsters and the texture of the "stag" is uncomfortably rough.
 
This one was never carried or sharpened, but still has very sharp factory edge. thanks for all your input. if I find anymore info I will pass it along to you
