What is Your Latest Old Schrade?

[orvet]

No problem Lloyd, my pleasure!

That is one sweet, extremely rare Typesetter you have there, in exceptional condition. I have been after one of those for many years, but they just never show their faces, in any condition.
Well done,
Tony.

That is a fine whittler, Lloyd! I am fortunate to have CE'd and CF'd it while we were at the show, and you are right! If I'd seen it first . . . . . . . . . . .

Here is a Schrade Cut Co. swell center Whittler pattern 863. It is 3 & 5/8 inches closed. This example is in near new condition and has never been sharpened post production. Lloyd

Superlative, Lloyd! Many thanks for showing that one!

[Duffer]

Thanks Charlie and Cal for your nice comments on this Schrade Whittler I got--much appreciated Lloyd

[FatCity67]

Some of you have all the nicest toys.

Been wanting to go to that Oregon knife show for many years now just being a few hours south in NorCal. Life, family, work blah blah blah always seem to get in the way.

Lloyd, you had me scared there for a minute with your 863. I saw the shield and thought I had missed a Camillus 72 clone (it was the 863 that threw me). I breathed a deep sigh of relief when I saw it's not, it's a true whittler (thank goodness).

Gorgeous knife and in such great condition.

[Duffer]

Thanks FC67 for you kind comment on my Whittler! You should really try to make the OKCA show. It is like shopping for knives in a museum. It is complete visual sensory overload looking at billions and billions of vintage collectible knives under one roof

Thanks Jerry for the nice comments! I know what it is like to be thrown as it has happened to me many times

I love vintage Schrade Whittlers as they are some of the finest ever made IMHO Lloyd

Slowly but surely I'm building a pile of peachseed 881/8813's

[tongueriver]

That is a not-Delrin Darlin'! I guess that it is true- Great minds think alike. . One bonus of the old pre-1960 knives, other than the obvious, is standard tried-and-true through-pin construction @ the blade pivots. Swinden construction is hard to work on and (possibly) is weaker. Your 881 is as good as it gets, so how are you going to do an encore?
edit: The absence of the U.S.A. and the non-matchstrike pull mark this beauty as having been manufactured closer to 1950 than to 1960.

Thanks. Maybe I'll find one of those reddish peachseed match pull 881's like yours, fingers crossed

The price that knives that have sold at auction on Ebay is the best way to judge your prices...often times I've seen a knife being auctioned bring more than the same knife listed at a fixed price. I believe that this is because so many more people put it on their watch list when the price starts out low. If no one is watching the knife then no one is bidding or buying. I recently bought a Schrade off a seller that has quite a few listed, all at auction, new in the box. I checked out his completed listings against what you have listed. Most of his are in later boxes so the fact yours are older may make a difference to some buyers and bring a little more but I wouldn't count on that. These are the prices his have brought NIB. Hope this helps and good luck on your sales.

Nice find in good shape. I like butter and molasses handles.

3 3/8 equal end cattle knife pattern. Spear with long pull, spey and punch blades. Spear master blade tang-stamped SCHRADE/WALDEN/N.Y.U.S.A. on mark side. Tang-stamped 0302 on pile side. No half stops. Faint remnants of an etch ??ADY JR. on master spear blade. All blades centered properly, with good snap and no lateral play. All blades show grey patina, some faint micropitting in places. Possible sharpening, but not evident, as there appears to be no blade loss. Brass pins and liners. Threaded rounded bolsters and long oval blank pinned shield may be steel rather than nickel silver; I am not sure. Brown peachseed jigged bone handles are perfect, with no pin cracks or other flaws, and little to no pocket wear. This knife is shown in the 1926 catalog, but not in any Schrade Walden catalogs. The presence of the “U.S.A.” in the tang stamp suggests that it was not made immediately after 1946. The “0302” tang stamp is a complete mystery. Anyone know who this was made for?

[Mustanger]

I really like that setup with the spear, spey and punch blades. As close as I come to that is this Ulster. It's not my latest and it's not a Schrade. I don't think I have posted it here before. I have no clue what model it is or anything. I've had it for a couple of years.

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Excellent cattle knives Cal and mustanger. Cal is it just me, or does your knife have flat ground bolsters?

[tongueriver]

That Ulster is exceptional. I am assuming that it is a 'junior' at 3 3/8 inches?

The one that I posted has rounded bolsters.

I should have mentioned that the Ulster is 3 5/8".

[tongueriver]

Late-breaking news @ the mailbox. I am calling this celluloid "NYC Jazz Club 1937," (for the good tobacco smoke, you know). I think I will carry this one, hard snaps and half stops.

Picked up this Schrade Cut Co. sheepsfoot barlow,tight and snappy with close to full blades but someone thought it would look better with notches. Been carrying this one the last couple days.

[orvet]

Nice old Barlow John.
The notches may have been added to improve the grip.
Kind of like scratting was added to early smooth bone handles; it gave a better grip and in some cases was quite pretty.

I think that is the first time I have seen that on a Schrade.
