Lot 422:
Collection of 8 Skeletonized Stainless Steel Folding Pocket Knives Including MT. RAINIER and MT. SHASTA Models
Description
This lot consists of 8 single-blade folding pocket knives, all featuring brushed stainless steel skeletonized frames. The collection is comprised of three distinct models, all manufactured in Taiwan. One large knife features a handle with three large and four smaller circular cutouts and is fitted with a broad metal pocket clip secured by a large pivot screw. The blade tang is marked MAC over 440 Taiwan. Five knives are identified by the etched name MT. RAINIER on the blade face, with some examples additionally marked U.S. PAT. NO. 5,596,808. The tangs of these examples are marked 6612N Taiwan. These Mt. Rainier models feature skeletonized handles with a repeating pattern of alternating large and small circular cutouts, three-screw mounted pocket clips, and thumb studs for one-handed opening. The final two knives in the collection are smaller models etched MT. SHASTA over U.S. PAT. NO. 5,596,808 on the blades, with 6611N marked on the tangs. All knives utilize stainless steel drop point blades with partial serrations and integrated liner lock mechanisms.
Condition report:

Rainier and Mt. Shasta models show light surface scratches and minor signs of handling consistent with occasional use, but no major mechanical defects are visible in the provided photographs.
