This one is rare enough that I haven't seen another one yet.

Wow Jason, amazing! Never seen that one in the wild before.

Thanks Cal and Glenn. I passed this one over at first to check the catalogs because I have never seen one before. Luckily at was still available the next day. The catalog says these have red handles so maybe this one's a sample. I'm guessing it belonged to an employee. It's unused and it never even made it out of the neighborhood. The package it came in was postmarked Walden, NY.

This less-than-perfect example of an SO8814NP just arrived. I don't believe I've seen one of these before - just the older oblique with parallel slanted bolsters. Aside from this and the 1966 Buck I don't think there are any other Schrades with this bolster style. Some Imperials much later on but no other Schrades.

Great oblique!

Here's another one.

Featured now on the Seldom Scene is an 831 stag Schrade Walden NY USA 3 5/16.

If anyone has ever heard of or seen another 831, or signs of it in a catalog, please post.

Is the 831 same size as 834 ?

Yes.

Here is a Primble Stockman with slanted bolsters, marked "John Primble/Belknap Inc." on front tang and "371I" on the back. The last mark is a capital "i". Is this a Schrade-Walden knife ? or Camillus ?

Here is a rather rare one, or at least not often seen S-W 835Y.

The Primble was made by Boker USA. The yellow 835Y knives came in celluloid first, and then Delrin. The yellow cell on those first knives was not very stable. Also, when they went to Swinden pins, The "bird eye" was moved out of the way a bit and was not actually the pin. This was in the 1960s era, of course. Any Schrade yellow celluloid should be quarantined.

Thanks Cal. I did not know that Boker USA made the Primbles. As my 835Y has birdseye rivets it must be pre ~1960 and therefore has celluloid handles ?

Your knife looks like celluloid from here (through the smoke; come on rain). Not all Primbles were made by Boker; some were indeed made by Schrade (think 8OT) and possibly other makers (?). Those oblique bolster ones were Bokers.

Roland, the catalogs last show the 835Y with the spey and pen secondary blades in 1961 and in 1962 it changes to a sheepsfoot and spey secondary blades.

I've noticed some of the same 3 5/16" size swinden stockmans have a large pen blade instead of a spey, I presume these are earlier examples as those same patterns seen usually have a regular spey blade.

tongueriver · Post by **tongueriver** » Mon Sep 03, 2018 4:59 pm

This one is Delrin. It does have the 'real' pin. Big pin crack.

kootenay joe · Post by **kootenay joe** » Mon Sep 03, 2018 5:50 pm

Thanks Paul, confirms mine is from before Delrin (aka "Derlin", "Hey Derlin, what's for supper tonight").
I wonder if Boker subcontracted to Camillus for the Primbles ? The bigger question is: did a manufacturer with a contract to make knives with a specified marking ever sub-contract out the work to another knife manufacturer ?

I posted this in the Keen Kutter thread but it also adds to this discussion with the recent birdseyes posted. This is a black celluloid '883' (it's an 835) made for Keen Kutter in the late 50s/maybe early 60s.

So cute.

I don't think I have seen a blackie before in that pattern.
