Wow. Nice group!
Re: Artistic Schrade Pics
They are an earlier pattern from the Cut Co days. The later Schrade Walden 2OT is identical but with smooth bone scales and no half stops. The knives in the pic with ebony covers are 2202's. The cocobola version was a 2201. Bone covers 2203 and cell covers made it a 2204.
L to R: 2201 - 2202 - 2203 - 2204 Those patterns are all spear blades. If it's got a clip add 3/4 at the end of the pattern number.

Re: Artistic Schrade Pics
Beautiful fishing knives!
Could you explain to me what the large hooks are for? And while I'm at it, what are the small hooks on bird knives for?
Thanks for your time!

Re: Artistic Schrade Pics
The hook is a gaff and the story I’ve read about these is that it was an idea concocted by Uncle Henry and Ted Williams during a fishing trip. They were made in the mid 50s but it wasn’t a success. There were issues about its legality in fresh water plus if you tried to hook anything larger than a sardine you just might lose the fish and your knife. In all I think less than 1000 were made.

Re: Artistic Schrade Pics
Good stuff and great info! Here is something you may find interesting. SCHRADE had an art department and things were done kinda old fashioned way compare to today. They would overlay pages of art in layers to move things around and eventually arrive at the finished product.

That's a great piece of Schrade ephemera! Great to preserve how they did it "back then".JAMESC41001 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 10:53 pm Good stuff and great info!

I note that the finished flyer is a 1989 publication so that's likely one of the last examples of that style of cut & paste editing. Photoshop 1.0 came out in February 1990 for use on Apple's Macintosh computers. It was less than a thousand bucks when first released.

I guess old habits died hard at the old factory. Here is one from 94.

For the psychonaut Berserker in all of us, a Jimmy Sabo customized 7OT grouped with a custom abalone 498S and a pearl 877. Flashy!

Re: Artistic Schrade Pics
Now there’s something I never even knew existed! I’ve re-worked a few Kabar T33’s with the gaff hook but have never seen a Schrade with that configuration.
Thanks for posting those!

Re: Artistic Schrade Pics
These were made for Sears by Ulster but the whole thing was a flop. They don't surface too often and I had never seen one before reading an old post from LT that explained what they were - that's what got me started looking for them.
As long as I'm here..an improved 50OT:

Everything pictured is from the 1930's or 1940's (except for the lapel-pin). I've read this book countless times. The Williams Wabler spoon originally belonged to my grandfather.
