Schrades are better in groups
At the request of some people that wanted to see what was in the roll I teased a photo of I have decided to start a new thread showing some of those knives. Hopefully it can get the ball rolling per se and everyone can post groups of their schrades here as well.

Here are some old photos of stuff, all obsolete. Much more now, and a lot has gone away, but maybe of interest. The Schrade Walden frame holds only celluloid knives.

Beautiful knives Paul and Cal!

Re: Schrades are better in groups
I am not much of a photographer doing this sort of thing. Years ago I was tramping in the boondocks with a medium format 120 film camera and doing landscape work; I had a full dark room and printed my own stuff up to 11X14 in B&W only. I still have all that equipment, several $K worth back in the day, not worth shipping now probably. Anyway I took one cigar box of celluloids out to the patio and gave it a shot. I have about ten of these cigar boxes full of celluloid knives on a long shelf in a protected area. I don't keep them with my other knives but I love these knives even though they are bastards and never circumsized or baptized. So here is BOX A.

Some great ones you have in there Cal. Good photos too. The 8874 looks minty, I like that'n. The 8924 looks like a dandy as well.

Re: Schrades are better in groups
Fantastic collection of cells Cal. The standout for me is that birdseye floral knife in box H - wow!

Re: Schrades are better in groups
What a great collection Cal!...
...so I noticed in Box B the Cut Co fruit / melon / meat tester knife with the black handles... obtained a couple of those recently...
is the solid black handles with the 'raised" jigging really celluloid or some other different kind of plastic composition?
it was a tough choice... but box C is my favorite...

Re: Schrades are better in groups
Thanks for the kind words, all; I have always assumed that the black sampler knife was handled in celluloid. I have a heavily worn CutCo muskrat that used to be the Hawbaker type, handled in the black jigged material also. There again, I have assumed celluloid.

How many of these Jack Knife Ben knives do you think were made by SCHRADE?

As a Schrade collector, I see a few that are unfamiliar to me, but a lot of them could be Schrades. There is a stockman there that is definitely a Schrade. What a nice batch!

What Calvin said.
The big coke bottle hunter was never a schrade made pattern to my knowledge. I suppose their switchblades filled that role in their product lineup.
