My latest Schrade

[Dan In MI]

Here is the Old Timer Belt Buckle and the Imperial Belt Buckles that I have.

Very nice! I'm pretty sure my belt buckle depicts a knife with a 61OT tang stamp.

Dan,

I stand corrected, I said 897UH, however, you are correct in that it is a 61 OT. Ooops! What was I thinking...OLD TIMER not UNCLE HENRY...lol

I have been looking for one of these 898K slenderinos for quite some time. Finally received a mint one. The celluloid is in perfect condition.

Nice one!



Is that the same Coast as today? From reading their (condensed and vague) history, it appears that Coast got started as a hardware retailer, but later focused on knives, and flashlights today. But their early history is practically a black hole.

I fished this guy out of the bay yesterday.
It has a 97OT blade but it is not an official 97 OT.
The real 97OT has a saw blade and the "toothpick from hell" and tweezers combo in the handle.

I guess it is a 97OT blade in a trapper handle with yellow covers.....

The real, sho 'nuff 97OT.....

It looks like it was factory assembled or either well done by somebody that was assembling left over parts.
It needs a little clean-up but I am happy......

Very cool find, Mike, and glad it went to a good home!

Thanks!
Yep, if it comes to my house.... It is at home!

Thank you!

This one has been featured elsewhere, but I think it merits a spot here as well. It is a nice unused 834UH. Has "LA" engraved on the mark side head bolster. Complete with box and paperwork. Thanks to Sanders Knives, there is one less hole in the Schrade collection (but many remain to be filled)!

Was gonna give the before and after pics here, but the before is just one page back so it's easy to find if you want to see it. The treat is the mods done by Jeffinn and here they are in some bone that the pics don't do justice to. They really look deeper and richer but hey, they still look good. Jeffinn's the man, love his work and these old Schrades he dresses up. The 893 is Autumn Gold, the 825 is Amber jigged. Both look better in hand and both really pleased when they came. Look a lot better than the old Delrin in the last pic. Thanks Jeff, fabulous work as usual, and quick. All the best to ya if you're listening.

[Meridian_Mike]

VERY nice!
Jeff does some exceptional work!

Beautiful knives!!

[doglegg]

Iman, those are lookers! Quite a contrast from the before pic.

[Dan In MI]

The 893 is Autumn Gold.

A very attractive color. I wish I had a Schrade with busted covers that Jeff could spiff up like that 893.

[Ivoryman]

Thank you Meridian Mike, doglegg, and MIchigan Dan. Appreciate it and another thanks to Jeff.

Coinfolio and I had been chatting via PM, and he mentioned that he had an 833UH for sale. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to fill another of many holes in the Schrade collection. This one is a real looker. Needless to say, as long as I own it, it'll be a showpiece!

An SP2 was also included as a bonus. It looks to have seen some light use and carry, and it'll continue in that role. Soon I'll figure out its approximate time of production, just for fun.

Many, many thanks to Coinfolio for these excellent knives!

Excellent...I was aware of such lists for the Old Timer and Uncle Henry models, but heretofore not the list of "newer models." Have bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks for steering me towards it!

The SP knives were still selling in 2004...
The SP2 Give-a-way's blade is etched 1989...
Another give-a-way SP1 with blade etch 1990...Ken

Those would nicely compliment my giveaway 12OT from 1992!

Looks great ! You take way better pics than me Dan!

Thanks! To be fair, I do perform minor edits on my pictures.
