Vintage Schrade Cut Co Hunters Pride # G1544 3/4 Faux Pearl folding guard switchblade knife made in Walden, NY between 1916 and 1946. It measures 4 7/8 inches closed and 8 11/16 inches open with steel liners, bolsters, guards & button with nickel silver safety. The clip blade is 99% full and shiny with light scratches and has been lightly cleaned. The tang is stamped SCHRADE CUT CO WALDEN NY and back US PATS DEC 21, 09, SEPT 13, 10 and JUNE 6, 16.

The Marine Pearl celluloid scales are very attractive and in great condition with two tiny hairline cracks by pins, one front and one back. The knife works great with blade tip below liners and centered closed, good snap and very good lockup with just a tiny bit of movement at the tip open.
