I thought about posting my 2OT but then thought better of it, realizing there's a fellow I know who has a wool sack full of them so that can't be all that rare, right ?

Tom,
When you get tired of looking at that Bowie, Ill be happy to give it a good home.

Phil I didn't know you had a 2OT, you ought to show it

They are fairly rare among schrade walden's, I would say anybody who has one is fortunate.

Tom those are some superb schrades, I really like the 2ot and 3ot. What years did they make the 897UH punch? I don't remember that one, one more to add to the list.

Doug,

I thought you might like that 100th Anniversary Bowie. Too bad they never went past the samples produced and a bunch of parts though...

Knifeslinger.... The 34OT and the 897UH never went into production because they didn't peak any interest. Those two knives were actually put together by my Mom who worked in Quality Control and presented the samples

She was told she could keep them or disassemble them for the parts. She decided to keep them and passed them to me

That explains why I can't find it in the catalogs. Very cool knives with a unique background.

Cal and Tom, those are some incredible knives! Tom, your one-of-a-kind collection is amazing! I was wondering, wasn't the 36OT the same configuration as that 34OT with punch? Maybe they went ahead with it and didn't give her the credit!

A few more for you:

Tom, Cal, and ea42
What a pleasure it is to see these knives you've posted. The letter opener sure got my attention. I knew Imperial made letter openers but didn't know Schrade had.

Nice rare Schrade's everyone, some real special knives have been posted.

These 3 are probably the rarest I have, the Barlow is not particularly rare but it's little used condition and early tang stamp puts it in the hard to find category.

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Wed Nov 22, 2017 10:56 am

Eric,

That might be the case with the 36OT...who knows?

Cal, Eric & John....fantastic knives. Eric, where did you dig up those beautiful knives? I agree with John on that Letter Opener....Gorgeous!

Pretty much the same thing I thought about my 863 KON-KAV, except for the wool sock thing. I don't know how scarce they are, I just know what a bear it was to find one I could afford in decent condition.

Jerry what are the handles on your 863?

KnifeSlinger#81 · Post by **KnifeSlinger#81** » Wed Nov 22, 2017 7:51 pm

These are hard to come by as a whole set, many thanks to a member here that spotted and picked them up for me. (By the way sportcolbs has a minty full set on ebay right now, for those interested)

I haven't seen another cut co daddy barlow, maybe it's not particularly rare though. Not the best condition but it exists.

It has been a pleasure see the rare Schrades posted. My knowledge of Schrade is limited, but I haven't let that stop me from obtaining a few.

This knife is marked Schrade Walden NY and is not marked with a pattern number. It is 3 1/2" closed. I have no idea if this knife is rare, or even unusual in the Schrade realm. Based on the blade that is similar to a punch, I believe this knife might have been intended for a typesetter. I would be very grateful to get corroboration or get set straight on what the purpose is for this knife and learn if it is a rare example.

It is indeed a typesetter's knife. I think it possible that a cutler just re-ground a punch blade on an 890 open-stock to make them. Knice knife!

What is a typesetter?

RalphAlsip · Post by **RalphAlsip** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 3:09 am

Keith, your age is showing a little bit (lol). Before computers overtook the world commonplace things were much more mechanical. A typesetter was a person who arranged the individual metal letters into a frame in a printing press. It was very tedious work with very small objects. The modified punch on this knife was likely designed to "pluck" the individual letters out of the printing press.

That's interesting, thanks Jerry.

tongueriver · Post by **tongueriver** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 3:34 am

Some great knives here and some I have never seen. Keep 'em comin'.

KnifeSlinger#81 · Post by **KnifeSlinger#81** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 5:04 am

Keith you aren't the only one that didn't know what a typesetter was. I've seen several schrades with the typesetter blade, very interesting.

Jerry, that's a nice 863. They don't show up every day, not even delrin ones.

Cal that huge swell center is immaculate. I've played my best hand, but you guys keep rolling out some fantastic stuff
