This is an origional Vintage Schrade Knife before Taylor bought the name. The handle was broken in the back so I replaced it with a wood handle. So the front and back handle materal do not match on this knife. This blade is still a little pitted and needs cleaned up with aluminun foil or knife polish. The size is 3 1/2 closed. If you are unhappy for any reason let me know so I can make it right. Our feedback rating is very important to us. I don't really make any money on this, it takes at least one hour of my time. I want to keep the legacy of these knives going. This was from a time when people would ONLY buy American and would not consider a foreign made knife.
