Just recieved this knife in the mail. Thought I would ask one of you fine folks for a little help with it. Its marked Schrade + 175. Which to my research means stainless. Im assuming 440 c or 420 hc. I am familiar with the schrade scrimshaws of old but thought this one was a little unusual. Its almost like a Schrade scrimshaw commemorating Desert Storm and is beautifully made. I thought it was weird for it not to have a blade etch. Most commemorative knives have a blade etch from my research. Im not sure if this was made by someone or maybe a little run that Schrade did. I did find a couple of fixed blade desert storm knives but have not seen or heard another like this. Im sure they made thousands but like always have no Idea what I am doing in regards to finding the correct source. Being a veteran of the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan I couldnt resist. Any tid bits of information you wish to share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
