Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
That's interesting, thanks Jerry.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Here is a Schrade Cut Premium (Texas pattern) stock knife no. 08883 with oblique bolsters. It is 4 inches closed. This knife has seen a lot of use with the peach seed handle high spots worn smooth. However, it has been well cared for and the mechanics are excellent with great snap and no play on any of the blades when fully deployed. Just a very well made folder exhibiting outstanding Cutlery craftsmanship.

That is a core knife in my world. Thanks for sharing it!
Schrade Walden made some knives in the 1950s that were not catalog knives (This is knews? lol). Here is one that had been made pre-war, but here it is again as a Schrade Walden, made for a hardware chain perhaps.

Here is Schrade CutCo's competition with CASE 5375/6375. Not too many around anymore.
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Thanks Cal for the nice compliment--much appreciated! Your junior cattle knife is wonderful--how do you beat that peach seed jigged bone so nicely displayed on your folder? They don't get much more useful or handy than the cattle knife or Stockman pattern. Schrade Walden knew a good one or a winner when they saw it
That is one very nice and large Stockman!
