Would that 832 be called propwood?

The knife is called a wire jack.
They are very collectable.
There are people would collect them and just them.

George Schrade invented the wire jack and patented it in 1926. He produced them at his George Schrade Knife Company in Bridgeport CT. This was his third company. He started Press Button Knife Company around 1893 and sold it to Walden Cutlery in 1903. Then he and his brothers started Schrade Cutlery Company in 1904. He sold his shares to his brother Louis in 1910 so that he could travel the world to market the advanced knife-making machinery he had invented. In 1925 he started George Schrade Knife Company. After a full life, old George died in 1945, but his company lived on until Boker bought it in 1956. Along with wire jacks, the main production was switchblades. In 1958,when switchblades were effectively outlawed in the United States, the factory was closed.

Yes it is.
Nice call!

I have so many electrician's knives now that I usually pass them by, but this one was worth buying. It is my first Schrade TL-29, and it is in exceptionally good condition, hardly used at all.

[orvet]

Very nice one.
Looks like you just unwrapped it!

Got this one the other day,, Being a learner, I'am going to have a go at describing it and would
appreciate any correction or criticism, here goes.
Tang is SCHRADE over CUT. CO. over WALDEN. N.Y.
Which should be 1917---1946.
Length 3 1/8 inches.
Blade each end.
Bone handle.
Senator Pen.
Pattern # 7423B.
Hope that's right,,

cheers Gary.

Nice one Gary! That pocketworn old bone looks good.

[orvet]

Nice peach seed bone Cut Co Gary!
Schrade Cut Co.s are a whole new Schrade addiction!

[PigSticker]

Got this bunch Thursday in the mail-the UH has a broken main blade

[koldgold]

Nice collection PigSticker

Although this Fish Knife is only stamped STAINLESS USA, I believe its a Schrade. The blades are identical to my Schrade Walden.

Opinions please

Hi Gary,
I have two 895 Schrade knives, bouth knives are mint (the marks on the blades, is 40 year old grease)
I paid top $$ for the Schrade, years ago. The UH.895 I have had about a year.
Like you I would like a little info on my knives, I like the Slim Premium Stockman...
The later UH897 looks like, much the same knife. Note: the blade is stamped "Schrade+" ... Ken

Very nice Ken, ya just gotta love them Schrades don't you.
I been into knives most of my life but only really started to be serious about putting a collection together last couple of years. Schrades/ Camillus and any older style ones that catch my eye.
I reckon Dale should write a Schrade book, complete with pictures / info on all the Schrades from wo to go.
You have some really nice ones I've seen posted on these forums.


cheers Gary.

Hi Gary,
The old 881 was new back in 1971. That was the year I Discovered Schrade knives.
The Old 881 is also not for sale, it’s the best knife I have in my collection.
It is still a nice knife; I have been using it every day for the past 40 years.
That old knife started me collecting Schrade knives.
When the Factory closed down I put all my collecting into items sold by Schrade from 2000-2004.
Today I have quite a number of items, made by the old Schrade Company.

Hi all, Got this one last week, thanks Keith, my favourite model, 34OT.
Its a 100th Anniversary model.
Just love em.
cheers Gary.

[garddogg56]

That would be my display knife love em, I like the 34ot+8ot for hunting with a 158ot for capeing and pelvic bone, I'm not a fan of the gut-hook

Hi Gary,
I like the 34OT and I love the 34OTSS, I am always looking for the 34OT Stainless modle.
Last week, I found an 8OT Anniversary modle for my collection; they have become hard to find now-a-days.

A friend give me the "Badger Anniversary modle" (note: the Old Schrade Co. had them made in China)
I have never seen an other like it. Last week I found two Old Schrade SX4 Bagers.

Hi all, Thought I'd post a pic of this one.
Tang says GEO. SCHRADE
KNIFE Co.
PAT.1-27-42
B;PORT. CT.

Very good except small dent in blade edge.


cheers Gary.

[tongueriver]

Pre-bankruptcy Schrade (Swinden key construction) 1980's ? There were 3 patterns made, a sharpfinger fixed blade, a trapper, and this iteration of an 8OT.

[ringergary]

Love that one.

cheers Gary.

This is my latest Schrade purchase. I got it a week ago at an estate sale. Originaly I bought it with the intentions of taking it to the antique fairs that I participate in in a month or two from now. The more I handled the knife the more I got attached to it. It's a pocket keeper. Schrade 123 OT, and the edge doesn't appear to have been touched ! I like it!! Dale H.

[koldgold]

This is my latest two Schrade knives.
The Duck knife, was only sold in 2004 - quite hard to find.
The 5HU, I have not seen one of these before... Ken
