A little pepper, but otherwise not used. Uncommon.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Schrade Walden 124 ? I have not ever seen this pattern before. Schrade also used "124" for the Uncle Henry 4" Folding Hunter, the 124UH. A bit odd to use same number for different patterns even though from a different era.
Here is my newest Schrade, a 225H. This is the same knife as a 227UH and the 25OT and all 3 were made concurrently. This Schrade/USA 225H would be from 1972 until ?, not sure, maybe early 1980"s ?
Handles are Delrin and the shield has a Yin-Yang symbol over "ASTEN". I have seen Schrade Rope knives with "Asten Felts" etch. I believe this was a company that made felt wheels used in processing wood pulp to paper.
This knife has been very lightly used but blades never resharpened. Note that blade tips are original. Many of the Schrade Folding Hunters have rounded tips, so i think this is a great find.
Sheath is the older style for the Folding Hunter but has "Uncle Henry" on it so might not be original. Regardless i like it, a lot, sheath & knife.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
The Schrade folding hunter in various versions is still (since 2007) one of my favorite patterns. I am sorry to have released one that they made for BUCK with a wonda-edge secondary. It turned out to be an extremely rare item.
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
New to me this week is this SS8813 - the bone is perfect and all three blades snap as hard as new. It's been used and cleaned. Lot's of surface scratches and the clip blade is just barely tipped.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Very nice indeed, an early Schrade Cut Co. stainless. I had one and have seen others of this pattern with a chunk of steel missing from master blade. The early stainless steel formulas or tempering still needed tweaking.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I recently found this hiding in a display case at a local antique shop. I put a little oil in the pivot’s and sharpened the blade. This one has seen a lot of pocket time but still has a lot of snap, and not too much blade play.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
The handles on the S-W stock knife above are what Schrade called "Merschaum"(sp ?) bone or maybe "Bonite" ? There is confusion regarding the pre Delrin synthetic handles as to exactly which handles these terms refer to,

Like everything about that one Dale. The bones, the bolsters, the blades. That is a great pick up.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Such a graceful pattern. I think it is one of the most sought after of all Schrade Cut Co knives. I am jealous !

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I've had a Schrade Walden
I thought it was a 283 by the tang stamp. The middle 3 looked exactly like and 8. I've been trying to find a NOS 283 for years, but none ever showed up for sale. A few weeks back I bought a jeweler's 10x Loupe, and discovered that it was a pattern 233. I went to ebay, and there it was. A NOS 233, so at long last I had a new one to go with my much loved old 233.
233 for years that I found in a washing machine at a laundromat. It was well worn, and the blades had been sharpened down a lot. I thought that the owner must love this knife, so I tried to find him by placing a note at the laundromat, but to no avail.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Good show, Wally. You will find the three and eight problem tang stamps on several Schrade knives. The most common one is an 84OT stockman tang stamp which is actually a 34OT tang stamp. There are others.
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Very knice Wally... Great story.
Dale... WOW!... There is something to be said about finding such a knife the old fashion way... at a knife show...
... and speaking about such a prize... while it was back in September I acquired it at a show... it is still my latest Schrade... so I guess it still qualifies...
a Schrade Cut. Co. 3" Sleeveboard Lobster; Pattern №8683T with 3 blades (pen-quill-file); bone stag, N/S tip bolsters & milled liners.
as listed in the 1926 catalog:

Very nice, indeed, KAW!
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Wally, I applaud your choice in pocket knives. My very first knife was a Schrade Walden 233. While I no longer have that particular knife, I've picked up a few others that are in my collection, as well as a couple for EDC.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Dale, that's a great knife and has the earlier rooster comb secondary blade which is very hard to find, most had this type of secondary blade or as Lyle likes to call them "the secondary primary".
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I picked up this Cut Co. jack in stainless steel, don't seem to be very common.
