Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Looking in the 1926 catalog i notice some of the knives pictured have the arched tang stamp like this one. I also see this one has a B designation, I’m assuming it’s for the “black inside” in the discription. Does anyone have an example of this? I have not seen one
Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Well, I just saw this thread. WOW!!
I'm not sure what I have in arched stamps, but I'm going to look. ..... tomorrow ..........

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Jay, the B signified a knife that had brass liners substituted for the standard steel liners for that pattern. Black inside meant that the inside of the spring wasn't polished but rather was left with the dark tempered color. This was usually found on the less costly knives.JAMESC41001 wrote:Looking in the 1926 catalog i notice some of the knives pictured have the arched tang stamp like this one.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
James, very nice knife. It reminds me of the Jack Knife Ben cattle pattern with a punch. I believe both Schrade and Napanoch made knives for Jack Knife Ben.JAMESC41001 wrote:This is one of my favorite knives. All blades snap hard.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Jack Knife Ben sold knives in Chicago in the early 1900's related to the Union stockyards. Here is a picture of a cattle knife marked "Jack Knife Ben". I believe this example was made by Napanoch due to the double fluted punch. I think Schrade also made knives for Jack Knife Ben and they look very similar to your Schrade. Unfortunately I don't have a JKB that I think is Schrade made. Is your knife approximately 3 5/8" long?JAMESC41001 wrote:Ralph i have heard the term jackknife Ben but did not know exactly what it meant. I️ have the pattern with the punch.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
I have a fair amount of JKB info that I have on my computer but I can only effectively send it out to 'real' email addresses, because the AAPK system does not like .docx files. Schrade CutCo made them and Schrade Walden even made a few; I have one, an 891 stockman in peachseed bone and with a blade etch.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Ralph, great knife. Looks like Napanoch bone to me. That’s a special knife. Cal from my new found knowledge of jackknife Ben i would guess that was toward the end of their era. Here is one to get back on track. I believe it’s a factory edge with just some light use.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Well so far with the help of this thread and knives I’ve seen elsewhere, I have identified about 20 different patterns with the arched stamp. Can someone tell me if a knife with a clip blade as opposed to a spear constitutes a different pattern? How about the same knife with pinched bolsters?
For some reason i always thought Schrade began with a modest line up and worked their way up to all the offerings we see in the 1926 catalog. Does not appear to be the case. Now that I think about it Walden had been at it for over thirty years before Schrade came around.
Anyway here is my latest addition. Hopefully more members will post some more knives and patterns we have not seen.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Did anyone see this knife recently auctioned on eBay? It has a distinctive shield. I do believe it is a very early Schrade. I found a NYK co Congress with the same shield in a 1908 catalog. Also a Sperry Alexander Congress that’s been posted here on AAPK

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
I saw that knife on ebay say a week ago. I would have loved to get it but to me the condition of the blades was way down with deep black pitting so I blew it off. Would have been beautiful in good condition. Other than that I don't know anything about it.

The blades did not bother me as much as the cracked bone. I put a bid on it but was not ready to spend as much as it went for

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Recently this 2172 popped up on ebay with the description of "Schrade" - I took a chance on it
I got a nice surprise when I started wiping the crud off
And a 2201

Good eye there Jason. I did not even see that one. Very cool knife!

I found another one last week. It's a 3-5/8 single blade EO with bone covers. It was gone before Catalog E was made but if it was around it would have been a pattern #1023. It's a little rough - Somebody did a horrific repair on it at some point. I may get that done right, or maybe not..

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Dang Jason.....
Nice 2201... I have got to find me one of those.
The 2201 is the grand daddy of the 2OT. So, I guess that puts it in the Great Grandpaw category.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Now that is a true statement, I wouldn't come here if I wasn't here already
It's nice today though, 29 degrees and it just started snowing, but maybe if I lived up there I wouldn't like the cold very much.

It actually is mild here most of the time. I must say I have really enjoyed all my many visits to central and western Texas. Great people (mostly). And Meg and I always enjoy company here.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Now that is a true statement, I wouldn't come here if I wasn't here already

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
My family has a history of vacationing to colorado so we have all always loved the mountains, though I've never been there in the winter. I have step grandparents in Evanston WY but I have never been there, as they have been my step grandparents only a few years. The dogs like the mountains too, summers here are tough for those with fur.tongueriver wrote:It actually is mild here most of the time.
