Re: My latest Schrade
Ken, your post caused me to get out some of my 8OT and a 881Y to compare to this new 881 - all have very similar snap (6-7 range) - I couldn't tell much difference between the bunch of them. Thanks Keith, I knew when I saw the tang stamp that this blind hog had rooted an acorn - I'm sure my poker face wasn't all that good! OH

Re: My latest Schrade
OH,
I have quite a number of NOS 8OTs 881s and 880s all in tubes Pre 1973, and find the 881s and 880s very hard to open.
The later 881s and 8OTas you say, have much the same snap.
I do note: most of my 881s have the matchstrike pull. The earlyer knives, could all have a better snap. Ken

Re: My latest Schrade
Here's a new 330T and 340T I got recently.
I had a few 340's and an older 330 before. Now I can relax cause I got a spare or 2.

Yes, I have a wish list of sorts. And I emhasize the "wish" part.koldgold wrote:Producer, Do you have a wish list, for your Schrade Collection?Producer wrote:Thank You Ken.koldgold wrote:Nice collection there.. Ken
I'm going to try to keep adding to it.
I'd love to have a 1940T for some reason. They look real "old Timey" to me.
720T dog leg Jack would be nice too I'd imagine. I have two 330T's and lately I carry one in my watch pocket besides whatever else I carry.
I figure a 720T must be nice too.
I'm sure ,like a lot of Schrade enthusiasts, we want one[make that 3] of every model ever made!
Anyway I hope to to add to the few examples of this great brand I already have.

Re: My latest Schrade
Blue bone is always nice - those two look great Ken. This one came in Tuesday's mail (from Keith) - a NOS 293 Trapper (in the tube with liner paper). I was out bird hunting for a few days when it arrived, just got to open it up and take some pictures today. OH

Re: My latest Schrade
Thanks Ken, you should post a photo of your blue bone trapper - I'd like to see it. I have seen (and admired) your fine collection of Buck's - even commented on the thread - very nice indeed! OH

Re: My latest Schrade
OH, I love posting my knives. This is my blue bone set.Old Hunter wrote:Thanks Ken, you should post a photo of your blue bone trapper - I'd like to see it. I have seen (and admired) your fine collection of Buck's - even commented on the thread - very nice indeed! OH
I have a brown bone set and the 100th. Anneversary wooden handle Display set.
The ones I like the most are the ACB rope cut blue bone handles and the set of 3 red bone knives.
Garddogg, it took me years to find one of those 55UHs NIB. They were only sold buy Kmart.

Re: My latest Schrade
Hi Grant, about five years ago I found this one on eBay. I did not want it, so I bid $25.
No one wanted it, and my bid was the only bid... Ken

I do not think the bolsters on the ACB knives are Sterling Silver.
My ACB80 Salesman Sample is fully finished and numbered.
I have an unfinished ACB80 and an ACB72 also.
Over the last 4 or 5 years, I have seen some of these unfinished knives on eBay.
Schrade were taking orders for then, in 2003; and were planning to start manufacturing them around April 2004.
They never made production.Ken
