Very minty Paul... really like the color of that bone...

Thanks everybody for the comments.



Here's another minty one, a 4" sw 861. Very sleek for its length.

I like the occasional camillus as well, especially in rogers bone. This one has been used but the blades and punch are full, surprisingly it still has a nice fine tip on the main blade.

The Schrade is beautiful and so is the Camillus. I've always liked that punch.

FRJ sez "beautiful" and I agree but that jimping on the 861 bumps it up to the "elegant" level in my eyes!

Couple nice ones Paul!

Thanks everyone. Here are a couple more. I like stockmans.


Schrade walden 881, pre usa stamp. I think this one has some of my best looking peachseed.
Schrade walden 899, pre usa stamp. Nice original patina.

I really enjoyed viewing this thread again. Lots of beautiful knives posted.

This Premium Stock knife was Made by J S Holler & Co of Solingen for Adolph Blaich which was a San Francisco sporting goods retailer in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

Schrade cut 8924, 3 1/2". Very nice looking celluloid handles.

Schrade walden 879, 4". Not often seen, very nice stockman pattern.

Sweet knife but great looking classic Schrade jigged bone - Nice Paul ..

Here is another schrade walden 861 and a schrade walden 834 with a somewhat faded craftsman etch.

I'm droolin' over that 834, Paul.
Sweet lookin' knife!

Here’s an old Case. Early Tested era based on the stamps.

Here's an old Joseph Rodgers Stockman that I poorly repaired the pile side bone on.

Smiling-knife has a better looking one on top of page 12.

Beautiful.

Nice one Paul If you hadn’t taken the ole Rodgers in and saved it Joe someone else might have trashed it, now it’s gonna live on thanks to you!

Regarding above 4" Schrade Walden, is there a pattern # on back of master blade ? Schrade rarely used Stag. To me the back handle looks more like Delrin stag that Camillus used. Is the back handle possibly a replacement ? When i enlarge the picture i do not see the same 'detail' in the lighter colored areas that i can see on the front side handle. Handle pins look larger on back side.

It is genuine stag, 100% certain. I don't think it has been rehandled.

The pattern is 884, which is a number not shared with any other schrade walden that I know of. They didn't catalog stag knives in the walden era but they did have unique pattern numbers on ones I've seen. It also has coined nickel silver liners, whereas the regular bone version of this pattern (the 879) has brass liners.

That is a beauty Paul, I really like it. As Roland said, Schrades with original genuine stag are hard to find. Yours doesn’t look to me like the imitation stag they used.

Ken

Thank you Ken, I really like it too. I am certainly happy to have it.

The delrin stag schrade used was on the uncle henry line and some craftsman branded models. This round bolster 4'' stockman pattern eventually had delrin but it was the imitation jigged bone type and they also had a match striker pull main.

Here is a picture of Camillus "India Stag". The back handle on the S-W Stockman 884 to me looks somewhat similar.
