Just happened to stop by a junk store today and walked around looking at mostly junk knives and cheap import Zippo copies when one knife caught my eye. I asked to see it and it was cleaner than I had hoped for with full blades that looked basically as if they had never been sharpened. It was a Schrade 234K Serpentine Jack dating from between 1946-56. I handed it back asking what the guy wanted for it. When he said 20 bucks cash I think I scared him at how fast I whipped out my wallet.
I really like these old K-Horn butter and molasses scaled Schrades and to find one in LNIB condition for 20 bucks just absolutely made my day. This knife walks and talks like new and despite the carbon steel blades there isn't a sign of age on them...just lots of oil. I don't think this knife ever saw the inside of a pocket.
