Schrades are better in groups

[Jacknifeben]

Mine are in my office just waiting for me to come in and start admiring them. At one time they did a survey on ages of knife collectors, put me down for 85 and going strong.

Good to hear.

I am young and just getting started. Only been doing this a few years but I think I am set in my ways now.

This little group makes for quite a happy schrade nut.

Knice lookin' group Paul ... odd how only one has a shield...

[black mamba]

I have a stockman problem . . . I don't have enough of them!

This pic was from about three years ago, and I've added a lot more since then.

[KAW]

Need to update your photo...

Thanks. Shields appear to have come and gone on some patterns seemingly at random. I don't know why. I prefer the shield but peachseed doesn't need anything extra either.


Jeff, those are some good stockmans. The square bolster 4" is still my favorite knife pattern.

Couple early UH’s

One sterling and six pearl Gent's knives with their leather purses and some shiny friends. MOP knife top-left is NYKC the rest are Schrade.

Great groups folks! I don't say so after every post but I do like seeing them. Keep 'em comin'!

[tongueriver]

A lovely group; good things do come in small packages!

The only group picture I have of my Schrades is a collection of the Schrade 773 Miracle Whip knives. The first was 1937, then they didn't make another until after the war in 1948. Thereafter one was released every five years until the last release in 1988.

Thanks for that great pic. Nice visual list. I haven't grabbed any of those yet but your group sure encourages me to do so.

If you're really interested, some of them are fairly easy to get in almost perfect to perfect condition. They're a nice little knife (somewhere around 3" closed).

I was inspired by BC's excellent group above. From left to right:

778 with TC edge on adv knife for Union Carbide - UC applied the TC coatings on a few of Schrade fixed blades and Holubs back in the 60s.
Craftsman 9558 which appears to be a muted version of the 946
2.75" Cut Co ring opener not in catalog
2.5" sterling pen not in catalog but would be a 7939SS
46
9679SS

Here's one of those Holubs:

That peachseed bone really blows my skirt

Picked up this group from knifeaholic. My ugly mug in the reflection

[JAMESC41001]

That’s a great old display.

[bladecollectorr]

Random grouping of everything in arms reach. Some freshly polished. Some often used. Half of these are going back in the bank vault soon and a fresh bunch will come out for December. Decisions, decisions....

[Dinadan]

There are some very nice groups of Schrades on this page. Love the photos, fellows. Here is a small group of Schrades with varying handles.

[tongueriver]

I love the 804s. Just about a perfect carrying knife, and many (as you well know) are very handsome! Thanks for showing!

I like those 804s a lot too. Would you be able to tell me more about the 4th from top? I cropped it below. It looks to have similar handles/pins to a mysterious Schrade I*XL I have.

Here's my latest 804. It needs some TLC and will be getting it at some point. JB Weld epoxy will get that shield back on there to stay. I can't see any original glue at all on the stag recess or the shield itself.

[1967redrider]

I was going to ask about the pattern number but tongue answered my question. I really like those 804s, going to keep an eye out for them.

That's the length? Thanks!

Thank you for the comments, Fellows.

Here are a couple of photos showing the handle of that knife in better light and more detail. I really do not know anything about it other than it is a very fine knife. There has been some discussion about the bone handles with that kind of jigging in the past. It has been questioned whether they are really original Schrade handles. But at this point I think enough examples have been shown to indicate that it really is a Schrade factory handle that was not used very often.

That is very nice I*XL that you have there. Is it one of those big five inch closed knives?

From what I've found trying to get more info on this type of jig it seems like it may have been used in the later days of the bone era. I have seen a few examples now and the info that I've found indicates that it was used for a very short period and is not widely known like the other jigs schrade used, which is why authenticating is somewhat uncertain. This is not a definitive answer but it's the possibility that I find myself leaning towards based off the info I've found. If that is the case then it's a rather rare knife.
