Cigar box Schrade
My apologies if this has been covered before, I looked but my wife can tell you I don't always see. Does any one have any experience with the Cigar Box Schrades. Saw a couple on ebay. Say they are hand made. Not very expensive. There are 2 or 3 posted all seem to be sowbellies. Just curious.
Re: Cigar box Schrade
Many of those cigar box Schrades like this one...

...are Taylor brand. I am of the opinion they are not 'real' Schrade knives and unworthy of the name, nor my hard earned cash.

Re: Cigar box Schrade
Thanks, gwelker, they seemed awfully reasonable in their pricing (most of them) and it made me wonder about the quality. I noted that there was not mention of steel on the packaging.
Re: Cigar box Schrade
The reasonable price is probably because it's made in China. Quality wise it might be ok, but as far as a collectible, it's just another China made trinket.
Re: Cigar box Schrade
you can buy several rough riders like it for same cost-the 440a steel in them works fine for me...

The Taylor/china boxes have Handmade Since 1904...the real Schrade boxes have Handmade In The U.S.A. Since 1904

Thanks Alabama and dweb. Big difference between hand made and hand made in USA. After going back and looking again I saw the Made in USA. Need to pay more attention. Thanks again.

Re: Cigar box Schrade
You were told right. Your knife is one of five different serialized Cigar Box Classics made for 2004. The model number for your knife is CSW98.XX Case XX wrote: I asked about this one right here and was told it's probably a Cigar Box Schrade.

There were 5 different patterns planned for the 2004 release of the Cigar Box Classic limited edition knives. To my knowledge, only 4 made it to final production. Those include a peanut knife, a premium stockman, a muskrat pattern and a two blade 4 1/8" trapper. The single blade, linerlock knife is only known to me by way of Schrade website archives postings from 2004. I have never seen one anywhere else. The pictures posted below the one of my Cigar Box Classic stockman are from that 2004 Schrade website archive.

Re: Cigar box Schrade
In 2003 Schrade introduced the Cigar Box Classic serialized limited edition knives with green bone stag covers. The boxes are the same as the 2004 editions. These came in the same 4 patterns as the 2004 CBC.

Re: Cigar box Schrade
Thanks very much for the confirmation. Most appreciated. I don't know too much about Schrade so that information is vital to me. I guess I'll have to shop around for the Cigar Box itself. They show up on eBay from time to time.Mustanger wrote:You were told right. Your knife is one of five different serialized Cigar Box Classics made for 2004. The model number for your knife is CSW98.

Re: Cigar box Schrade
I guess having the box adds significant value to that knife. That's over twice the price I paid just for the knife itself.gwelker62 wrote:There are quite a few of the 'real deal' Cigar Box edition on feebay right now. But most have an asking price of over a hunnurrd bucks.

Re: Cigar box Schrade
Well that's about par. Having the original box n papers can double a knife's value IMO. Especially one like the Cigar Box editions.
Re: Cigar box Schrade
Don't forget about the 100 Anniversary series in blue rope jigged bone...they were going to be in cigar boxes as well

Re: Cigar box Schrade
Did those actually make it to production? I know there are some finished and unfinished 100th Anv blue bone floating around w/o a box, but none in a box made it to market from what I hear. I have one of the unfinished blue bone EODs knife.dweb1897 wrote:Don't forget about the 100 Anniversary series in blue rope jigged bone...they were going to be in cigar boxes as well
Re: Cigar box Schrade
I have never seen one in a box. I remembered that I snatched this picture from the interweb somewhere a long time ago. I had to do some ferreting to find it in my photo files and I don't know who posted it. I can't find another, better picture of that flyer either. Getting one of those knives in the box would awesome!dweb1897 wrote:Don't forget about the 100 Anniversary series in blue rope jigged bone...they were going to be in cigar boxes as well

Not going to see them in the boxes, but Doug and some fellow in Marion, NC know a little more about that blue bone.dweb1897 wrote:Don't forget about the 100 Anniversary series in blue rope jigged bone...they were going to be in cigar boxes as well
