Schrade USA - Parker Frost Preferred Series - 1978

[koldgold]

Hi Cal, my knife set has the matching numbers, also.
I have seen them for sale often, in that plastic plaque.
However, my set came in that black case.
The case is longer than the case used for the Red Bone set.
I also have two sets of the knives, shown in thawk's post #1...Ken

They were available with an ugly plastic plaque, I believe (?). I have the full set with matching numbers, papers, boxes, etc. and they are available if anyone needs a set.

Contracted by Schrade USA for Parker-Frost

Brown Bone Set, Muskrat, Trapper, Liner-Lock, Stockman

Johnny Muskrat

Mink

Little Bandit

Bison

Nice quality, carbon steel blades, also came in red and green bone. Some sets were serialized.

I just wanted to bring this back to the top just because I love the jigged bone Schrades

315, I'm with you! I've been fortunate enough to find the brown, green and red bone 4" stockmen from the series.

Thought I would revive this whole thread. I happen to run across the original photographs this morning. Best regards to all that were participating here in 2012.

I don’t post much on BF but do read through the threads a lot…. and this particular thread piqued my interest a long time ago. Everyone’s informative posts inspired me to land some of these knives for myself (and I did just that). They really are well made with incredible bone and stag handles. I certainly was not disappointed. Perhaps they are a hidden gem considering they can still be purchased at affordable prices compared to other traditional folders experiencing unbelievably high inflation.

Ps. The story behind these knives may even be better than the knives themselves. They have their uniqueness in the pages of knife history.

Resurrection again. I think the black delrin was an Imperial production, but hey it’s got a Bison on it

Nice set Jim, at one time I had all four as well, but have just kept the jigged bone threesome.
I think these in bone are the single best value of any 4" stockman.
