What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Here is Schrade CC Texas Jack (Moose) pattern no. 7813 (Schrade 1926 catalog pg. 46). The catalog says it is 4 inches. I measure
this example at 3 & 15/16 inches. I was drawn to it because of the beautiful pick bone handles and the blade finishes. The clip point mark side blade is crocus finished and all other blade surfaces are glazed. The folder does not look to have been used or sharpened post production.
This jack has spun pins and because of this it is definitely a 1920s or later produced specimen. I think it is generally accepted that in American cutlery hammered pins are circa pre 1920 and spun pins are circa post 1920. The pick bone handles are usually associated with pre 1920 knives. Anyway here are the photos sorry for the rather loud back ground color I usually use something a lot more muted

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I got a very pleasant SURPRISE yesterday from Jeff (Jeffinn here on the forum).....
Jeff sent me a scarce Schrade 225Y that he BEAUTIFULLY restored!
As you can see from the note Jeff included, the covers on this 225Y had outgassed and ruined the secondary blade.
Jeff,
GREAT job (as usual) with the restoration of this beauty! I will gladly add this beauty to my Schrade collection!
THANKS SO MUCH JEFF!!!!!
And here she is.....
Isn't she beautiful?

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
The covers are yellow acrylic.... (nice and slick!)
Jeff said he got the material from MuskratMan.

A small Schrade Cut Co dogleg, just over 3". Typical great Schrade bone, full blades, good pulls and snaps. Don't recall seeing this pattern all that often, I guess it might be considered a peanut.

For some reason I was never interested in the Geo. Schrade wire jacks, but I finally got one.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
First time I’ve seen this little whittler with a 3 1/4” frame. It’s an old pattern. All blades stamped. I’ve shown similar examples from the 1932 and 1938 Schrade Cut Co Supplements. The husky little clip blade with a long pull is a real treat. I’ve also displayed the 837 and 804 Schrade Walden split spring whittlers. These two are 3 9/16” and 3 7/8”. It’s kind of like a little seahorse pattern. I’ll number it 8793 3/4 B.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Nice, Hal. I have never come across one of those 8793 whittlers. Mighty nice condition, especially for it's age.
