Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I am very pleased with this one as it's in even better shape than expected. Beautiful celluloid, factory edges. May have been shined up just a tad but the blades still have crisp lines as they should. Not bad for its age.

Not to shabby Paul. Not usually big on cell but that is sweet. Nice grab. Congrats.

So I have gone down the path to start gathering Old Bone Schrades....got a little shove in that direction by Ozzie and Roger, although it was really just a nudge...lol
Here are some that I have added to my Schrade room

Picked up this Schrade Cut Co ebony 3 3/8" jack, full blades with some light sharpening scratches but still showing a lot of original blade finish.
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Now Chase, don't dilly dally with getting old bones, jump in. Some anatomy books don't show that many old bones and certainly not in that condition. Wow!
Hak, that one is in great condition. Lovely old knife.
JohnR just a classic old beauty.

I picked up this little dandy recently. Early walden stamp on both blades, factory edges, very nice peachseed bone. Just a little tarnish.

That's a beauty Paul!
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Here are a couple models I hadn't seen before
Schrade Walden 879 the main clip has been re-profiled but I think it'll clean up pretty good Schrade Walden S294 with black composite scales...found the model # in the Catalog E but haven't had time to try and find out the years of mfg.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Doug, nice knives.
The 879 and 881 are the same aside from the bolsters. 879 is rounded and 881 is squared. The 880 is the same as the 881 but the 880 has a saber ground main blade.KAW wrote:Still yet to figure out what difference is between a 879, 880 & 881.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
The SW 880 has a Kon Kav grind with squared bolsters, the SW 881 has a flat grind with squared bolsters....I believe that is what is referred to as the Texas Pattern and the 879 has a flat grind with rat tail bolsters.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I may have a misunderstanding of definitions. To me 'threaded' bolsters imply one (or sometimes more) thin lines cut or stamped into the bolster. 'Rat Tail' I thought meant a wider deeper channel cut or stamped into the bolster. I thought this pic illustrated a rat tail bolster.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
What a surprise I got this weekend!!!
My GF stopped at a yard sale while out & about... found this old Schrade Cutlery Co. Press Button knife and picked it up for me!
Its a keeper (and actually so is she!)
Other than a "fish tail" type in not too good condition, this is my first press button in a shadow pattern.
A previous owner certainly favored one blade over the other but is still in good working order with the blades locking about 4 out 5 times using the buttons. According to the catalog cut this one has "Golden Pearl" celluloid handles...
