7" Shrade Leverlock With Abalone Scales...SWEET!

Post by barshoo »

Made in the USA, I have here a 7" Shrade, which I've seen on one-of-you-guy's Avatar! It has Abalone scales, Top Lever, 3 1/4" clip point blade, a genuine leather buttoned sheath, and a decorative box. I picked this up five years ago from HDC, and whoever owned it before me took real good care of it.

That is a beauty, Barb!

I really loved these knives. Unfortunately had to sell one of mine when I got sick...Still hanging on to my prototype though.

Unfortunately there have been no more made since Bob (sharperD) had his stroke.

Thank you Sammy! This was my guess, so it's nice to know that I was close! I wish I could remember who has a Shrade avatar... :shock:

Beautiful knives. I love that red abalone, Barb.

These were made by GEC, and as usual, they did a great job. The lockup on every one I've played with was like a vault.

Here's one in 'Pumpkin Patch' acrylic.

There was a pass around here a few years back but I don't remember who ended up with it. Nice knife though, not as nice as Barb's!
