schrade ???

Hello everyone. Im totally new to this "forum thing" so forgive my ignorance.

Let me start of by saying i do not collect knives. that being said i know very little about them.
I found this knife in a junk drawer in my garage. i was walking over to my bench grinder to sharpen it when i stopped and thought, "this looks old".
The markings read: SCHRADE/CUT. CO./WALDEN,N.Y and on the other side:
U.S.PATS./FEB.13,06./FEB.26,07./SEPT.13,10.
The question is, is this worth anything?
Thanks.

Welcome to AAPK!!

That's a knice collectible Schrade Push Button knife!

Yes, it has value. Does the spring still open the blade? How are the handles on the back side?

[JP2inNY]

yes the spring, button and lock all work fine. Here is a pic of the other side.

Looks like a really nice knife

Good thing you did not put it to the bench grinder You would have lost a lot of value

[JP2inNY]

im actually surprised i stopped myself. I normally think about things AFTER i do them.. what kind of value are we talking? about?

[Miller Bro's]

If you ground the blade down you would have lost 50% of the value or more.

Check your PM`s The button at the top right of you screen

I should be lucky enough to find things of that value just lying around. What would be interesting to me is how it got there in the first place.

Welcome. Nice knife.
Dont "sharpen" anything on a bench grinder.

My father in law gave me a box of "junk" a few years back. i just threw it in an old dresser draw in the garage. he told me it was his fathers. i thought he was nuts. its that old huh? maybe i should evaluate that other "junk".
