Schrade Automatic Knives

[ozzie marie]

I know I have seen some fantastic examples of Schrade automatics on AAPK but now I think it's time we get them posted here in our own forum.

Here's a Geo. Schrade Pull Ball

Good idea Keith !

I see we already have a Pressbutton and a Geo. Schrade Knife Co., so how about we open this to any stamp 'ol George had a hand in ?

The first I ever owned was this Geo. Schrade Presto.

This Flylock got me seriously hooked.

Nice switches guys!
I am off the forum for half a day and I come back and see a huge thread of Schrades.
I love it!

Keith- that pull ball looks near mint!

Great knives all of them!

[muskrat man]

Thought I'd add these for reference purposes. They're not my knives, just some that are passing through my hands on consignment. They'll be on thier way to sharperdeals.com auction come monday.

Here are a couple of more Pull Balls.

The top is gold filled with a full polish on the blade and stamped for the JCN Co.

The lower one is a standard plastic and with the G.Schrade "A" stamp. per Erickson.

Blister & MM, Great Auto's

Fran, that Flylock & JCN are awesome

Here's a Presto Sterling Silver 3 3/8" double that I acquired from Mr. B

It's too darned quiet around here.

So....I'll put another photo up. These have been posted before in another thread, so if you're bored with looking at knives skip to the next forum.

Just ignore that Colonial ShurSnap on the top. These were photographed together because I found them all at our club show in Wind Gap, Pa. last March. I can't wait for March 20th this year !

The bottom two knives are both Schrade Cutlery Co.'s and close to mint. The butter & molasses is a more uncommon single clip blade, and the middle one is a nickel silver double with the name E.K.Sawtelle engraved on the handle.

A few minutes on the U.S. census pages of Ancestry dot com, and I found only one match for that name. In 1930, Eugene K. Sawtelle is listed as a 55 year old auto mechanic and veteran in Augusta, Kennebec, Maine. I wonder if his wife Rosatta give him this knife as a gift ?

How very neat! Pull Balls are completely new to me. Even the double blades on a switch is something I can't recall seeing.

I'm learning WAY to much about a whole new world.

Here's another Pull Ball that came in its Original Box

[tongueriver]

Here is a 4 7/8 inch Cutco. No etch. Most had one when new.

[tongueriver]

Here is another Cutco, and a Walden parachute knife.

[SilverBackLeprechaun]

I have to ask……….. The 'pullball' design requires holding the knife and pulling the ball with the other hand. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of an automatic knife?

[Miller Bro's]

Here is a nice Schrade Cut. Co.

[johnnierotten]

Got these 2......GEC Schrade & Paratrooper.

[mumblypeg]

I didn't know those GEC Schrades were autos. I like it

How does that release work? Push up, pull down?

Don't jump in too quick!! They are not all auto, just a select few.....check them out before purchase.
