Nice one, Jeff; same as the 14OT. I don't think you can get any closer on the numbers. ?
Re: Any chance of a sticky for fixed blade Schrades?
I have chased this pattern for some time and finally found this example at the Oregon show.
It's not pristine but none of these old ones I have seen are pristine.
Aside from a little dirt the sheath, the sheath appears to be in excellent condition.

Dale, that one has some blade to it. A great pick up.

Found this one yesterday at the flea market. It doesn't appear to be used much.
It has a sheath but it isn't a Schrade sheath.

Wow, Dale; that 148 with the tungsten edge is a rare one! I am glad that it is a 148, because if it was a 147, I would REALLY be jealous!

I recently picked up a very nice Schrade Walden 148 from the mid 1950s, complete with original sheath.

A cousin dropped by yesterday. He needed a little work on a leather dobro strap. He also brought me some kindling for my cast iron stove & wanted me to have this Schrade-Walden H-15. I don't remember this knife but he does. What's so neat is he is the second owner & he got it in the 1960s. I was the original owner.

The 140 and 146 had Stratawood handles, as listed in the Schrade-Walden catalogs. The 148 was list in the catalogs from 1953 until 1963 with Wonda- wood handles.black mamba wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 1:55 am I recently picked up a very nice Schrade Walden 148 from the mid 1950s, complete with original sheath.

Another somewhat rare oldie, a Wonda Edge 147L, complete with correct 1958-'63 sheath with the buck deer tooled in.
I also completed my four Staglon 49ers with the hard to find 491 over the holidays.

Re: Any chance of a sticky for fixed blade Schrades?
I took a gamble on a big grab bag of knives recently. One sentence that only mentioned one of the dozen or so knives and one blurry picture. I've never owned a Schrade in my forty plus years of collecting and carrying knives, but I'm very impressed with the three that came in the lot. This old Walden 165 was looking pretty grim, but after a lot of elbow grease and a replacement sheath on the way, I really like it. Wicked sharp too.

The 165 variations are one of my very favorite collectible knife. Thanks for posting that beauty!

Re: Any chance of a sticky for fixed blade Schrades?
Here is a 152 from the same horde. It looks pretty run of the mill, but surprisingly in unused and unsharpened condition. I never understood the fascination around this model, but over the years it kind of grew on me. Had no intention of buying one, but now that I have one, I've been researching the hell out of it.

Re: Any chance of a sticky for fixed blade Schrades?
I don't think I showed this display before (?). I got it on Leap Day this year. It is about 11 X 22 inches. The knives are in clear plastic bubble thingie that is sandwiched into this heavy paperboard backing and I assume displayed on Sears counters. However I have never seen another one. I believe it to be about 1967 vintage but I have not found any solid evidence for that. The "Deer Slayer" is especially rare as a variation of a 165, having a hidden tang terminating in a brass pommel plate. I guess everything about this display is very rare. There is no provision for hanging it and it may even be a prototype (?).
