Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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 ?

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

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

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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 ?

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

That's a dandy Jason.
Cal, what do you mean by the "real" pin?

That's the same as a cut S8373, definitely not common to find.Jacknifeben wrote:This might be a “rare” SCHRADE?. Jack knife ben contracted these back in the 30,s. Master blade is ink etched JACK KNIFE BEN HANDY DANDY.

Pictures of a Schrade Walden NY USA 730 Farmer Jack. Maybe the pattern with this mark is not so rare, but this example is in really good condition.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Your mint farmer's jack is both rare and very desirable as a collector. One of the very best to hit the gallery here in Schrade Land. Thanks for showing it!

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Jerry that's one of the finest farmer's jacks I've seen, what a prize! That was likely made very shortly after the change to Schrade Walden, you might as well consider it a Cut Co.
Hak that's gorgeous! You guys are showing some top shelf knives here.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
RalphAlsip and Hak1911 those are both outstanding and rare Schrade Cuts especially in that condition!! Beautiful vintage folders!
Here is a Schrade Cut No. 2103 3/8 Hunter’s and Traper’s Knife. Got it at the OKCA show a few years ago. In near perfect condition. Never been sharpened post production. Peachseed jigged bone handles are perfect condition. Great blade action—very smooth and silky with no lateral blade play when open. Found the catalog rendering and description in the 1934 Schrade Supplement.
