What is Your Latest Old Schrade?

[Duffer]

Lovely early Schrade Cut Jack Cal Beautiful Cocobolo handles really make this vintage folder come to life Very desirable arch tang stamp example. Thanks for posting photos.

Beautiful knife Calvin. We don't often see wood handles this attractive or so 'clean', not dinged.

Great looking knife Cal! I find that the wood handles on those vintage knives are always beautifully rounded, right to the liners all the way around. That's a bit of craftsmanship that you don't see on the modern jacks.

Just picked this one up yesterday at a pawn shop. It has some flaws but I really like it. There was a Crown Zellerbach plant out in French town years ago, I expect it came from there. Thanks

Bruce, that's a fine lookin' ol' Schrade! Always enjoy figuring out who and what the company was on such knives, not that I'll remember, but it's still interesting.

Nice Rope knife ! Are there numbers on the back side of tang ? I think it is a 136, although i get this # confused with 163 and 186, all of which are big work knives.

Thanks guys, I sure like it. When we were drivin' home Gordon says "jeeze are you lookin' at that knife again". But he's the guy that got me hooked in the first place, so he gets it. The tang stamp is 163. there are also 3 pins 2 steel 1 brass. From what i saw that makes a difference but not sure what. Thanks

Nice knife, good tool. Be careful; it has no mercy if closing on a finger! If it does't snap hard get some Quick Release. Get it anyway.

[kootenay joe]

Can someone help me out. If this is a 163, what is a 136 ?
I am away from my knives so i can't go and find one.
thanks, kj

Edit to add:
The AAPK Schrade info from Dale in "Open Stock"
136: Lineman's Skinning knife/Hawkbill blade/4 7/16"
163: Rope or Hawser knife/large square point blade/4 7/16"

From the Schrade Cut Co Cat. E:
1361: Large Pruning knife/Hawkbill blade/4 7/16" (same as 136 above)
N1361:Rope or Hawser knife/large square point blade/4 7/16" (same as 163 above)

So in the Cut Co days 136 was used for this 4 7/16" frame whether with a Hawkbill or a Square Point blade.
The basic pattern numbers were carried over into Schrade-Walden days for most of the knives. However for this frame, S-W created a new number, 163, for the Rope knife version.

Easy to see how one can get confused as to which knife gets what number with this frame.

Nice John.I like the 804.

[ea42]

John, you've been snagging some beauties!

Eric

[glennbad]

Oh boy John, another beauty!

[tongueriver]

You have to love an 804; they beg to go into a pocket or hunt for a stick.

That is a great knife you have there. You do seem to come up with some beauties.

This is the clip blade version.
edit: dang it!

[KAW]

Cal.... when posting.... you need to keep the knife in the same orientation as the catalog clip so that when I stand on the ceiling, the knife doesn't look upside down.... Seriously.... anyway you look at it.... that's one sweet lookin' Schrade! ....far beats the ones I have seen locally lately....

[peanut740]

I bought a small collection a while back and in it were a few nice Schrades. First is an 825 stainless stockman.

Next is a 895 stockman.
