I think that is the best str piece I've seen so far. And a nice choice for modification as well.

I notice that it says "Schrade" on the closed blade, but not when it's open. Did you remove the name and polish up the blade?

Nice looking knife. I didn't even know Schrade ever made anything like that.

No, blade is untouched. That side has " Schrade Lake & Walker " on the other has" first production run 1 of 500". Uses the original (large)pivot. The later ones were made of lesser steels on the blade. I think the first 1,000production limited edition used BG42 blades. The real problem was that they made the locking part of thin steel mated to the zytel handle(framelock and were very flimsy and tended to go all the way thru when gripped to the opposite inside handles. Otherwise, this would have been a great framelock. We excluded the Walker lock on mine as I see no use for it. STR did say he blew a lot of drills on this project.Thanks for your comments.
