Re: My latest Schrade
Some discussion about your nice trapper, but also wish to acknowledge your nice filet knife. They came in two sizes. I would choose one of their fixed blades for cleaning fish because of the mess factor, but the folding filet knives are very cool collectibles. Anybody here collect Schrades?CheckSix wrote:Couple of new-to-me Schrades...
a Cigar Box Trapper.... and a MA6 fish filleting knife (Mighty Angler 6-1/2" blade).

Hi Doug,
I love the Blue Bone, did you have the Blue Rope-cut Bone handles fitted to them.
And what is the two smaller knives in your set. Ken

Doug,
It is disappointing, Schrade's Blue Rope-cut Bone knives were never finished, in 2004.
To date I have only ever seen "One fully finished set of Schrade's ACB knives - with Blue Bone and etched blade".

I bought the ACB296 trapper and the ACB80 stockman on Ebay, they are both "un-finished" 100 year anniversary knives. Sometime back there were sets of the Rope Jigged Blue Bone scales, liners and bolsters for the ACB25, the folding hunter, for sale on Ebay. I notified Herman, who bought them, sanded the jigging down a little and then re-jigged them. There were either 10 or 12 sets and he put them on both the 25OT and the 125OT. I got one of each and later bought a third as a present for my daughter. Not long ago I found 5 more sets of the blue bone for sale...which I bought. I sent them to Herman, claiming 2 sets for myself. I had seen an "un-finished" ACB72 but never a ACB25 so I saw this as an opportunity to complete my "un-finished" set of anniversary knives. He put them on a 25OT and a 72OT . One detail I missed was the lined bolster on the front of the 72OT which will be corrected. When I sent Herman the bone, I included my trapper and stockman so that he could put the serial number 0048, his Schrade salesman's sample #, on all 4 knives.
25OT with re-jigged Rope Jigged Blue Bone 125OT with re-jigged Rope Jigged Blue Bone Canal Street Cutlery made this Union Razor using the Rope Jigged Blue Bone that they acquired after the bankruptcy..who knows, they might have brought it with them.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Re: My latest Schrade
Hi Doug,
You are very fortunate to have Herman, to help you to put such a collection together.
This is two of my un-finished ACB knives, I was very lucky some years ago, to find a finished ACB8o.

I can't argue with that...knife collecting has introduced me to many fine people.
Now I don't know how you kangaroo heads spell Doug over on that side of the world, but over here it has a "o" in it.

Steve, my source, Official Scout Blades by Ed Holbrook shows that Schrade chow set was made from c. 1932-1953. Hope this helps.

Re: My latest Schrade
Schrade made these Blue Bone knives, back in 2002-2003.
It looks like they too, were made in a limited number.
I have seen them on ebay, from time to time... Ken

Re: My latest Schrade
deltaboy, i notice that you have a fondness for the 8OT. It was Schrade's second biggest seller of all time. First is the 34OT. Have you tried out a Schrade USA 34OT ?

Why yes I have several of them I carry on Sunday. They are just wonderful.

Re: My latest Schrade
Picked up this 897UH a few weeks ago. Stopped by an area pawn shop, and utilized my amazing powers of negotiation to convince them to knock a whole dollar off their $6 asking price. I love it when that happens.
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar.

Wow, that's in pristine condition!

Re: My latest Schrade
I also picked up this Craftsman 9560 Electricians Knife at the same time as the Ulster 98. It's a Schrade Walden 204 or Schrade, Ny 204 if made between '73 and '75. Complete with belt clip. It's also spotless. I've been looking to unite my Craftsman 9561 with it's older brother. The 9560 showed up in 1966 and was make by Ulster. According to historian Michael Little, aka, Codger, at some point the 9560 became a Schrade Walden 204. They are essentially the same knife and Schrade Walden and Ulster were making knives in the same factory. I assume that it stayed that way until the 204 was discontinued in 1975. After that Imperial made the electricians knife for Sears and True Value (that I know of) with a different number. I'm thinking that the 9561 electricians knife, with the saw blade, came out around the same time (1967) as the Craftsman 9555 camp knife which has the same saw blade. That's my best guess and I'm open to correction. I do not know how long the 9561 was produced. My collection is starting to look like a Craftsman collection.

Re: My latest Schrade
Mustanger i very much enjoy reading the Craftsman information you post as well as the pictures. I find the pre WW II bone handled Sta-Sharp knives to be the most interesting & highest quality of all the Craftsman knives.
"Craftsman knives" is a surprisingly large number & variety of knives and by also collecting old Sears catalogs the dates can be proven. The 2 major suppliers were Camillus and then Schrade, Camillus having made the majority.
If enough other collectors are interested a separate "Craftsman" forum would be helpful as the information would be 'centralized'.
"Craftsman" knives comprise a huge body of knowledge.
