Schrade Walden U.S.A. Kon-Kav 880 Large Stockman -🇺🇸-

SCHRADE WALDEN U.S.A. 880 KON-KAV LARGE STOCKMAN From the tang stamp this knife is in the 1958-1972 range, I believe it was made in the early 1960's. This model goes back to at least 1953 maybe earlier, and discontinued in 1977. It was made with bone covers before 1958 and then the switch to delrin was made. Before 1976 much of the blade grinding process was done by hand, then they switched to automated machinery . The blades on this knife are made of 1095 carbon steel. The main blade is a concave hollow grind with a "KON-KAV" blade etching, and a matchstrike long pull nail nick. Also has flat ground sheepfoot and spey blades. Brass liners and pins, nickle silver bolsters and shield. Other hollow ground "KON-KAV" etched models were the #863 a 3-5/8" whitler, and the #805 a 2-3/4" stockman. Some think of the #880 as one of the finest stockmans that Schrade ever built. The #881 stockman had a flat ground main blade. Made in Ellenville, New York, U.S.A. Thank you for watching!
