Here's a special slenderino that I bought out of Irv Trachtenberg's collection. When I sent pic's of it to Herman Williams he told me that it was one out of a set of four knives that he had made for Uncle Henry's birthday.

Eric, no offense at all, but the picture looks like FBI surveillance of guys exiting meeting of Mafia family with Uncle Henry as the Don.

I'm a little slow sometimes and didn't want to say anything, but I thought it looked like a bunch of "business men" going into a strip joint

Ha! Doesn't it? That's five seconds before they all pulled tommy guns out from under their overcoats and blew the camera guy away.

Thanks Jay, doesn't compare to that beauty of yours, I have a feeling I know where you got it too, most impressive

Eric I like the pinned shield. That's cool. What year was it made or offered? That is a lot of jigged bone to swing a hammer at Lol.

Finally, some clarification. I think

Not sure if this was born a slendinaro or was worn into one. Curved stamp English jack

I'm wondering if Jimmy Hoffa is underneath that concrete door step

Bumping an old thread that got a little weird anyway. Hal and I had fun inventing the term 'slenderino' for the Schrade 3 9/16 frame knives. Anyway, today I saw this post on you-know-where to describe a non-catalog knife that is quite amazing to me. I have never seen anything like it. Not the pattern number or the knife itself, which is basically worn down to nothing. Check it out.

Looks like it just got a little weirder.

Here is an odd one for ya. I don't know what the story is on this one. But I like it, engraving plate and all.

JAMESC41001 · Post by **JAMESC41001** » Fri Mar 17, 2017 3:48 pm

That is a great knife!! Like to know the story also. Always liked the serrated blades.

Is "H897" a USA Schrade made knife (before 2004) ? Or, Camillus made after 2004 Schrade closure ? Or ??

Heritage blades with H prefix numbers show up on a wide range of Schrade knives. 1997 maroon handled Heritage edition, orange 194OTO and others. It's not uncommon. Rule of thumb, if it has Schrade + on the tang stamp, it's a real Schrade.

Very true. And if it has SCHRADE WALDEN on the tang it could be ANYTHING. You better know what you are doing. I got burned on some Bear & Sons back in 08' before I knew, then, embarrassingly again a couple years ago when I bought a Chinese PH-1. I am marginally ashamed to say that the PH-1 gets everyday use in the kitchen. I also have or have had some Camilli branded as Schrades but I think that is fine.

When I first started collecting in 2006 I got burned on a "Schrade Walden" in a plastic tube. As soon as I got it in the mail, I knew I got burned, told the seller about the error in his description of the knife, sent it back and got a refund. I don't think he knew the difference. Then, in my ignorance, I bought a pretty bone handled knife, in a nostalgic box, of a pattern that Schrade never made and had to eat it on that one. I've been careful ever since. Now I only have to take a second look every once in a while to tell if it's a Taylor or not. They even copy horticulture and other surprising, more obscure old Schrades. I was a little stunned the other day when I was scrolling thru completed listings on ebay at how many people had payed big bucks for obvious Taylor copies. Really big bucks! As much or more than one would pay for a genuine Schrade Walden.

I outbid another AAPK member for that red bone H897 two or three years ago. It is so odd for a Schrade that it does deserve a discriminating second look. But to my knowledge, Schrade + is the one trademark that Taylor did not get their hands on.

Here's a pair of peachseed 895's. One for the collection, one to tote.

Please forgive the new guy for pushing this thread back to the top.

Do any of you know the actual blade length for the Turkish clip? I've been hankering for an 825/897UH/98OT/Craftsman 95068. I'm just curious of the blade dimensions. I haven't been able to find any specs online, except for the modern foreign-manufactured copy by Taylor, for which I've found 2-3/4 inches.

I just happen to have a pre 2004 897UH in my pocket right now.

And from tip to bolster is dead on 2 3/4".

edit: well, I put the dial calipers on it and it's more like 2.682".
