Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
The handles on the S-W stock knife above are what Schrade called "Merschaum"(sp ?) bone or maybe "Bonite" ? There is confusion regarding the pre Delrin synthetic handles as to exactly which handles these terms refer to,

Like everything about that one Dale. The bones, the bolsters, the blades. That is a great pick up.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Such a graceful pattern. I think it is one of the most sought after of all Schrade Cut Co knives. I am jealous !

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I've had a Schrade Walden
I thought it was a 283 by the tang stamp. The middle 3 looked exactly like and 8. I've been trying to find a NOS 283 for years, but none ever showed up for sale. A few weeks back I bought a jeweler's 10x Loupe, and discovered that it was a pattern 233. I went to ebay, and there it was. A NOS 233, so at long last I had a new one to go with my much loved old 233.
233 for years that I found in a washing machine at a laundromat. It was well worn, and the blades had been sharpened down a lot. I thought that the owner must love this knife, so I tried to find him by placing a note at the laundromat, but to no avail.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Good show, Wally. You will find the three and eight problem tang stamps on several Schrade knives. The most common one is an 84OT stockman tang stamp which is actually a 34OT tang stamp. There are others.
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Very knice Wally... Great story.
Dale... WOW!... There is something to be said about finding such a knife the old fashion way... at a knife show...
... and speaking about such a prize... while it was back in September I acquired it at a show... it is still my latest Schrade... so I guess it still qualifies...
a Schrade Cut. Co. 3" Sleeveboard Lobster; Pattern №8683T with 3 blades (pen-quill-file); bone stag, N/S tip bolsters & milled liners.
as listed in the 1926 catalog:

Very nice, indeed, KAW!
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Wally, I applaud your choice in pocket knives. My very first knife was a Schrade Walden 233. While I no longer have that particular knife, I've picked up a few others that are in my collection, as well as a couple for EDC.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Dale, that's a great knife and has the earlier rooster comb secondary blade which is very hard to find, most had this type of secondary blade or as Lyle likes to call them "the secondary primary".

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Thank you Chris, Cal, Ralph, I've been pretty lucky lately with Schrade's, love the bone and quality construction of these old Schrade's.
Sure wish someone could do bone like this again.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Not quite as old... a Schrade Walden 896K (not uncommon, but is my first)... just can't resist those Butter & Molasses handles...
seller claimed it is lightly used... but when I received it yesterday... I didn't find any signs of use... no scratches on the blades and definitely still has the original factory edge.
[Edit: Thanks to Cal setting me straight I corrected the typo I made on the pattern number from 894K to 896K]
