G'day, Following Aggies' question re his stockman with 2 clip blades, I got out my Heritage boxes and there was indeedy a Heritage knife with two clip blades the 8041 Whittler from 1984 however I have posted photos of the small clip on that whittler together with the spey on the stockman <same as Aggies' knife> and the swedge is distinctly different from Aggies' photo of his knife as my photos will show you...my conclusion is definately someone machined the spey to a small clip shape of the Whittler of the same year to create themselves a whittler blade rather than the rather less useful spey unless you have some cattle to nut!.... photos show original boxes and paperwork which describes why Schrade created this series and the bone and colors used...the signed certificate by Marie Cathcart in each box certifying that she had 'personally' inspected each knife is interesting and almost from a bygone era...<a 'modern' Schrade with a signed certificate by 'Pong Long' loses something I feel....>....also photos of the 8041 Whittler equivalent produced in 1982 for the Mountain Whittler Knife Club Asheville,NC <blade etch 1 of 100 and this is bolster Serial #038.>beautiful red bone scales..this was the pre-cursor to the 8041 Whittler produced 1984 also shown.>...that is in brown bone as is the 2941 Heritage Trapper from 1986.....enjoy...Hoo Roo
