Offered for sale is a Schrade Scrimshaw SC 501 fixed-blade Drop Point Hunter knife, made in Ellenville, New York USA, circa 1979.   In 1973, Schrade moved their factory from Walden, NY to Ellenville, NY and stopped stamping "Walden" on the blades.  This knife is part of Schrade's Scrimshaw series, that was made in limited numbers during the late 1970s and early 1980s.  This knife features a carbon steel drop point blade, full-tang construction, a lanyard hole, and cream composite handle scales.  One side of the handle scales is engraved with a deer head signed by the artist and dated 1979, and the other side has a blank cartouche.  The blade is 3-3/4" long and approximately 3/16" thick at the hilt.  Overall length is 7-3/8".  The blade is tang stamped "Schrade U.S.A SC501."  The blade is also etched lengthwise down the blade with the words "Schrade Scrimshaw" (hard to see in the pictures). The knife is in good condition overall, showing signs of normal use and carry.  The blade appears to be about 97% intact, showing a few small areas of pitting.  Included with the knife is the original leather sheath.  This knife is very well made, and will provide many more years of service with proper care.  Or, it would be right at home in a collection of American fixed blade knives.  You can own this American hunting knife for $79.99.
