What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I picked up a special 808 this week. I thought that the 8 from the 1947 catalog was the earliest version of the 808 but I was wrong. Here's a Cut Co version - exact same knife except for the stamp. I haven't seen one before and it isn't in the catalogs. It's a safe guess that it came later than the 1940 catalog and the brass liners probably means it's pre war or possibly it was from right after the war, before ownership changed hands. Neat little knife in near mint condition. I bought it from the son of a woman who worked for Schrade for many years and collected a bit too.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Not really rare , but maybe someone has some info or one like it...this is an extremely well used Walden 708..clip blade is nearly sharpened away..but the diminutive little fellow has great snap and no wobble..is this schrades smallest offering? THIS example is after derlin but pre Swindon pin..early 60's..what makes this one unusual is the tiny shield is engraved It appears professionally done , but why..you can't see it with out a magnifying glass..I don't know that qualifies it as rare but lets go with odd!
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Thanks - this is the first one I've seen and it's fostarene like the 8 I found recently. Still looking for one in bone...KnifeSlinger#81 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 7:35 pm Very nice!

It depends on how you're measuring. It's not the smallest length-wise. There are 3rd Generation patterns that are shorter and also a slew of lobsters and ring turns. It's not the slimmest either - that honor probably goes to the Simon. But, overall when you measure length, width and thickness I wouldn't be surprised if the 708 takes up the least amount of physical space.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Thank you , Jason for that insight into size...my hands aren't particularly large..but i've lost some dexterity over the years and the small knifes are harder for me too use but i'm amazed at the precision that they were made on this scale..

Schrade Spit fire
Bone Scrim Peter Styvesant
Ulster 12
Lake and Walker BG42
LB5 with Herman Williams stag
I know the pics are weak, but I noticed that I hit 7 posts and when I joined I swore I would post at least 1 pic for every 7 non-pic posts.
I have a few other "rare" to me schrades, but want to get a better I-phone or have my significant other photo those. It will probably be the later since I just dropped few bucks on a Cargill this week and I really don't like using cell phones.
Hope this post fits the topic and you folks don't have tons of the above.
Regards.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
That Ulster 12 in the wrapper up above - just killer!
Here's a pair of barehead trappers that were never listed in a catalog and I always assumed were escapees from the sample room but Sargent has a picture of one and identifies it as an S294. I don't know if I agree with that. From that time period the 'S' could mean stagged(?) but it's not a 294 pattern. If anything, shouldn't it be an S293? Another mystery..

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Here's another oddball trapper - the 291 Grizzly Bear. The only thing that differentiates it from a 293 is the brass shield - that's it, literally. It was a single year production knife in 1965 with 2893 knives ordered but only 176 shipped by year's end. There's a flyer from 1965 that shows the pattern as part of a national campaign advertised in Sportman's Magazine with dealer displays sent out just for the promo and the display cases were trimmed in brass - so the 291 shield matches the case. That's the only explanation I can think of for the 'why' of it all. An interesting thing I noticed on the flyer is the same case had a 718, which they called the Mighty Mite - a name they recycled for the much later 18OT. In classic Schrade style they used two different spellings for the word 'mighty' (mity) on the same flyer.
That extra pretty one in the center was rehandled in jigged bone by Herman Williams. I bought that one from Doug Webber.

This 2.75" stockman doesn't look particularly rare but it's not a common 808. It's the predecessor, a single digit Schrade simply known as '8'. All 3 tangs are stamped and there's no pattern number on the blade. It's covered in Fostarene and has milled liners.

There must not be too many of these out and about. A Schrade Walden yellow comp 881 with an 8OT stamped clip blade.
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Here's one I haven't seen before. It's a TL-29 pattern with black cell handles. The screwdriver was re-profiled into a blade at some point. The pattern shows up on the price lists for 1953 and 1954.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Genuine stag is rare on schrades in any condition. This one is a schrade walden 884.
It had been cleaned so I forced a patina on it to get it looking better and now it's my edc. It's enjoyable to carry a rare knife, and a good one this is.

That stag! I have not seen an 884 before. Do you know what years they were made?

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I can only guess this one was likely made sometime in the 1950's. It is the only one I've seen; although I have seen a picture of this same pattern in stag but it was a schrade cut co with salesman ink on the blade.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I have what appears to be a scrubbed Ulster blade on a Schrade junior cattle knife:
And something I haven’t seen before. A NIB GEC made 3-3/4” Schrade Fire and Ice jumbo trapper that is missing the etch on the spey blade.

The Ulsters and the Schrades in that pattern were identical, right down to the bone. The only difference to my knowledge were the tang stamps.BFORSE wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:50 pm I have what appears to be a scrubbed Ulster blade on a Schrade junior cattle knife:

The only ulsters that I found had steel bolsters with no strike line and maybe steel liners, whereas the only schrades I found had nicklesilver bolsters with strikelines and brass liners.tongueriver wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 5:15 pmThe Ulsters and the Schrades in that pattern were identical, right down to the bone.
