I'm starting to get into swapping up my carry knife every few days thanks to this thread. Last few days has been my Schrade USA SC505 scrimshaw model from 1989. I can't believe how good an edge this thing takes, and my 885UH (same size stockman pattern but in stainless steel) is the same way. Something about the geometry of the blades, I guess.
Photographed on a sycamore leaf with a couple of just-picked wild persimmons. We've had a few frosts so they're very sweet, but about 95% seed by volume! :eek:
Interesting to note: I've seen pictures of this model with "Schrade Scrimshaw" on the blade, but this one has "Champion's Choice" surrounding a steer's head.

Fine knife and fabulous picture. I love persimmons, as do deer. I admit that I have played some unkind tricks on friends with not-ripe persimmons.

I like that Yellow Rose! :thumbsup:

I'm carrying the GSK. I was puzzled by the awl on this one. I don't know if it was originally rounded for safety :rolleyes: or had lost its tip. I put a bit of a chisel grind on the back, and while it doesn't work as a punch, it's great for scraping stuff that I don't want to scratch up.
