Item Relisted! FS Schrade - Walden H -15

[Nathan Taylor Blades]

This is a vintage Schrade Walden H-15 Bowie hunter knife .the stamps say N.Y USA H-15 .it measures 9 3/4 OAL, The blade measures 5 1/4 inches. it has a stacked leather ring handle. The pommel is made out of a aluminum disk the guard is made out of aluminum .it has no sheath . It has normal use and wear , scratches and surface pitting on the carbon steel . some dings on the aluminum pommel .blade wear approximately 5%. it was made from 1958 to 1975 .it was made in the USA. It is often mistaken for a military knife while it may have been purchased by the troops to carry in Vietnam but it was not issued so far as I have been able to determine .it is possible that it was purchased on a unit level for issue for their personnel but so far as historians have been able to establish the H-15 was never purchased by the department of defense to be issued to US troops .the leather ring handle is in very good condition .I see no indication of deterioration of the leather handle. this is a great knife for someone adding to their schrade collection . Or an outstanding knife to take hunting. The price is $40. I can meet at the Walmart in ellijay .
