Thanked: 586Attention Collectors of Schrade Pocket Knives
How would you like to be the owner of a Schrade Scrimshaw pocketknife? It has a single blade approximately 3" long etched with the words Schrade Scrimshaw (actually, the etching is: Schrade
crimshaw
because the words share the "S") with a little stylized sun. The knife has a large brass liner lock to hold the blade open. The cream colored plastic handle has a pair of fish that appear to be staunch Republicans aggressively and mercilessly dining on a group of helpless, smaller fish who trusted the big fish and accepted an invitation to dinner only to find themselves as the appetizer. While both fish appear to be rightwingers, immediately beneath the one farthest to the right is the signature of someone named Frank Giorgianni. Whom my research disclosed was a very famous Tampa, Florida grocer who died in 2003 at 87 years old:

If you are interested, please send me a PM this AM.
