What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
It is a big deal when you find a nice old Peachseed bone Jack from Schrade!
And, some of the beautiful (yet scary) Celluloid handled Jacks, can give you the warm and fuzzies!!
But what about simple and functional Wood handled Jacks? These single blades are light and slim, but capable of work way beyond their size. They snap like the big boys, every one of them, and have nice utilitarian finishes. And they look good.
Schrade at its simplest, but not at its least!!
Two Schrade Cut Cos on top, or at right, the other three are Schrade Waldens.
These aren't my latest, but I haven't seen them in a long time. Out for a little oily wipedown!
Notice anything unusual??

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I'll take a stab.
The long pull on the "half" hawkbill knife seems unqiue to me in addition to the fact that is a hawkbill frame with a very nice rattail bolster but it has a single sheepsfoot blade with quite a nice swedge. At first glace I took it for a rope knife, but the etch proves the fact. I havent looked at any "wonda" edge knives lately but the serrated 175 seems to have finer serrations than other "wonda edge" knives i've seen.
Now this is 100% speculation but i'll say the one on the far right has been cleaned, the finish isn't quite like the others, seems a bit coarser, and the bolster has been buffed carelessly with the blade open and has resulted in an uneven finish on the blade becuase of accidental overbuff.
How'd I do?

That's the only Schrade I've seen with that fine saw edge! Wonda-edges are much coarser. I wonda'ed if anyone would see that edge.
I think the only cleaning has been done with Walker Wax or the equivalent. I get more shadow at the edge of the scanner, but I think that blade hasn't been ground again. The swedges look consistent, as does the texture. The bolster looks better in other views as well. Much crisper.
Pics and scans can be real good, but in-hand is the best.

Were these ole Challenge Fly Locks somehow related to G Schrade?
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Yep, I believe George Schrade bossed over the Flylock division at Challenge Cut. Co. They're George's invention, patent #1258150.MrBlister wrote:Were these ole Challenge Fly Locks somehow related to G Schrade?
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
that clip blade is a looker, I dare say I've not seen something like that before
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Clip blades are indeed unusual on teardrop Jacks. You almost always see a spear blade!Darksev wrote:that clip blade is a looker, I dare say I've not seen something like that before

Not to mention you don't see many Schrade teardrops without a big 'ol shield, fantastic group Charlie!!

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Thanks Eric!!
My latest Teardrop is the one on the right. It's got all the bells and whistles; a shield, cap bolster, bone handles and an easy open cutout!
I thought it would be interesting to picture a group from plainest to fanciest.
At left, the simple one blade from the above picture, then next, one with a shield and an extra blade. Third one gets a cap. Fourth gets the EO notch. Then we go to jigged bone, and lastly, the works!!
A lot to collect in one pattern. Multiply that by the number of patterns, and your life's work is cut out for you!!
I wonder if they were all made with a clip blade???

Here is a sweet little aluminum handled SCC advertiser in MINT (I don't too often use that term) condition I snagged for a song at the last AAPK auction.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Upnorth; what an interesting group to compare, it really shows what can be done with a single pattern, and those ones even have a nice variety of tang stamps to boot. Ever think of making a Schrade picture book showing such things, like bone variations, stamps, and pattern changes? I think you'd be able to find plenty of buyers.
MM; nice find, it seems people liked to abuse those old aluminium advertisers, nice to see one in good shape.
Nice set Ozzie Marie; I bet those are getting harder to find complete and in good shape.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Here is an unusual old Schrade fixed blade.
OAL - 6-1/4"
Blade length - 3-1/4" tip to guard.
The tang reads:
STAGBRAND/GEO.SCHRADE KNIFE CO.
The back side tang is ink stamped 153.
I don't think George Schrade put out many fixed blades.
I think this is the only one I have in my collection.
Charlie might have some.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Dale,
Nice old knife
I have two or three of them in my collection. They do not turn up very often, atleast I see very few of them for sale.
Do you have the original sheath?

Do you have one with the sheath?
If so could you post a pic?
Maybe I can find a sheath close to original for it.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Dale,
Here is the Schrade knife and original sheath. I don`t think this knife was ever used. I am positive the sheath is the original one. The sheath is very ornate and very attractive. Not many American companies had ornate sheaths, usually they just stamped their company name or trademark logo on the sheath. One of the exceptions would be Cattaraugus.
The only other sheaths I have seen this ornate are ones made in Germany. Maybe Geo. Schrade had these sheath knives made in Germany and stamped with his name. I seems likely to me, as not many of these are found today. Any Schrade historians out there know something about these fixed blade Schrade knives??

Not my latest, I've had it for quite a while, but it is an unusual knife, the only one I've seen that had the candy stripes running lengthways.
It's in excellent but far from mint condition.
By the way, this knife is a Schrade Cut. Co.

Here is an old Schrade Walden whittler, an 804, these whittlers are just about like the Case 6380's. They are fairly common but I really like the light colored peach seed bone on this example and the saber ground master blade.
