Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
Hi Dale,
Most of my 881s have "Schrade N.Y.U.S.A. 881" or "schrade Walden N.Y.U.S.A 881" stamped on the blades.
I also have a "schrade Walden N.Y.U.S.A 881Y" (Yellow scales)
My every day knife, is the same old 881- with the match-strik pull - I have been using since 1971.
Dale, is the 881 in the tin, a latter release? and dose it have stainless blades? ... Ken

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
Hi Dale, Thanks for the welcome.
Yeah, I was corrected about the number on the other forum as well.
881 it is then. I had a real hard time making out those tiny numbers through the plastic, so I tried to get a closer shot of it here.
Now you've got me wondering if maybe I should remove mine from it's plastic prison so I can close it?

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
The 881 in the tin is a very late release, perhaps the last year (? I am speculating). And it is stainless. In fact, I believe all the formerly non-stainless knives had gone to stainless in the last year or so before the bankruptcy, but did not always add the "plus" sign to the stamp. I am speculating a little here also; don't take this for gospel.

My every-day-user I have had since 1971 has carbon blades (I have posted with some more of my pre 1973 - 881 knives)
I also note: the shild is not stamped "Schrade" on my old user.
Do you thnik the handles are made from bone...Ken

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
I'd rank that one minty Keith. That knife a handful too.
Here is one I picked up a couple weeks ago, looked for one for a long time:
Schrade Walden 8OT
Wooden Old Timer box with a stringed pamphlet.
You can barely see the saw cuts in the bone. Back handle darker than the front.
And a Schrade made Keen Kutter 866
Rough black jigged composition handles
Same as a Schrade 833 from that time period.

Over the year I have collected many Schrade knives, some models where very popular in Australia.
However, it took 5 years to find the two Schrade knives in the U.S. - I had to have for my collection. D'holder and Lake &Walker.
If you can find it, have a look at my "Duck Pond" here on AAPK.
I hope you like them as much as I do…
Wile we are looking at 4" knives, here is some of my 8OT type Schrades....Ken

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
I always like to show off my 100 Anniversary Schrade Display, I found it in the U.S. in an unopened box.
It came with six of every knife in the display, to stock it. Every box has a price tag, showing the 2004 retail price.
I have also posted the two new lock-backs that arived yesterday - The LB7 has a green bone handle and gold etching.
The LB5 is one of the best looking Schrades I have seen for a long time...Ken

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
Here is one I have had for a few years.
It has nice stag, but not something I really like, it just seems too gaudy to me.

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
To merit 55 pages of true love, there must be something very special about these knives. I've owned a few Schrades and liked them all, but never saw them as anything exceptional. That is until now. This little scarred and worn 108OT has opened my eyes. Obviously this knife has seen some use and maybe abuse over the years, but it is as tight and snappy as a brand new one. It feels bigger than it's size, I think because the frame and bolsters are a little beefier than on the equivalent knives from other makers. The sawn delrin handles and Old Timer shield make this knife instantly recognizable, and when I show it around at the plant, everyone comments on how they once had a Schrade. This is a nice one to have in the pocket, and I'll be on the lookout for more.

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
I see yours is a NY USA stamp. Likely a 1970's version. In some cases, I see the older ones were made better.

Re: SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE
I think I posted these somewhere else, but what the heck, ya can’t post a Schrade too many times can ya?
These came from Mark Zalesky. It seems he has a fondness for Schrades as well.
A John Primble Old Timer, #935.
Also a John Primble #5371.
Just two more variations of the 8OT.
