Picked up 2 Schrade LB7's at a flea market this morning with belt sheaths for 20 bucks, look to have factory edges, do have to clean deer hair and tissue out of one.

Wow Jerry, absolutely wonderful, typical Herman.RalphAlsip wrote:Recently I found a nice Schrade SS8173 3 5/8" cattle knife. The blades are almost full and the functionality is good, but the front scale had fallen off. Today I got the knife back from Mr. Herman Williams with 2 new scales and a touch up on the blades. To fix defects (pits) in the blades Herman applied a PMS (Polished Mark Side) finish to the blades. I am thrilled with the work, which is no surprise given who did the work.

Great example of a great pattern. Love that pen blade combo. Herman always makes his people happy. What a great guy!doglegg wrote:Wow Jerry, absolutely wonderful, typical Herman.RalphAlsip wrote:Recently I found a nice Schrade SS8173 3 5/8" cattle knife.

Re: My latest Schrade
Great score! I've been meaning to pick up one myself, but haven't quite yet. I have really enjoyed messing with the knives various makers, in the 1970s, came out with to compete with the 110. So far, my favorite is the Gerber Folding Sportsman II. Slim and light, and holds an edge for forever. The weird shape of the Brownings make them a really bad utility folder--they're best at what they're designed for--hunting.JohnR wrote:Picked up 2 Schrade LB7's at a flea market this morning with belt sheaths for 20 bucks, look to have factory edges, do have to clean deer hair and tissue out of one.

I found this Copenhagen Schrade at an antique store today, new in the box with paperwork! I love the serrated blade! Any idea on it's age?

Re: My latest Schrade
Appreciate the info! bladecollector. Do you happen to know how these were distributed, places like Walmart or Kmart or knife shops?

Is a SCHRADE with a scrimshaw cowboy on the handle any value 183853859982?
Re: My latest Schrade
A long time ago when I was out of work with bills piling up I took a shot at selling cars - and I was terrible at it. There was an expression heard around the lot that goes 'there's an ass for every seat.' Cowboy scrimshaws are not for me but somebody is just itching to get behind the wheel of that thing. It's got value to at least the 6 watchers currently on that auction. I think ebay past sales is the best way to figure out its worth.Jacknifeben wrote:Is a SCHRADE with a scrimshaw cowboy on the handle any value 183853859982?

Re: My latest Schrade
Good question! United States Tobacco (the parent company) were Schrade's customer and they distributed the knives. The super fancy ones were given away to VIPs at different events that UST was sponsoring. Others would be available for purchase at these sponsored events. The standard delrin ones produced by the many thousands were, iirc, a mail-in deal. Send in so many proofs of purchase and so much money and you get a UST knife to go with your can of dip.Byrd wrote:Appreciate the info! bladecollector.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. I'm going by memory.
Here's the list. There were lots of them!

Re: My latest Schrade
Thanks bladecollector! It makes sense that they were an advertising/promotional item. Now that I think about it a LOT of companies advertised their products that way.

Re: My latest Schrade
I like those serrations as well. Part of the reason I've looked at this one for years. Most of my more modern design Schrades (Tough Tool, Cliphangers) use them and they have no trouble getting through tough materials. I just don't know why the 89OT still used Wonda Edge when for most of its life, Schrade used those heavily aggressive serrations? Because the 89OT is carbon steel?Byrd wrote:I found this Copenhagen Schrade at an antique store today, new in the box with paperwork! I love the serrated blade! Any idea on it's age?

Nick, that barehead Cut Co is super nice! I managed to snag a nice SW #172UH Bear Hunter from 1971-'72 in very good shape.

Re: My latest Schrade
Nice fixed blade! Just to nitpick, I think it was called the "Bear Skinner" and it's in the 1971-1973 catalogs so your knife could be a year younger.black mamba wrote:Nick, that barehead Cut Co is super nice! I managed to snag a nice SW #172UH Bear Hunter from 1971-'72 in very good shape.

In case you haven't seen it here's a link about the very similar 1973 Imperial "Kit Carson" knife. You may want to look out for one if you like the style. I like how a cheap plastic or vinyl sheath could be a selling point back then indicating improved futuristic design. "Inorganic moisture-proof sheath." I've held this Imperial in person and that sheath is about as crappy as it gets lol. Solid knife though.

Re: My latest Schrade
Thanks Jeff. Congrats on your new hunter! The only fixed blades I’ve ever had were the couple cheapo ones my father bought me when I was a kid after watching Rambo. Haven’t bought any since but have been feeling the itch lately.black mamba wrote:Nick, that barehead Cut Co is super nice!

Re: My latest Schrade
Well, looks like patience is a virtue... Actually in my case .... it's not patience, it's kinda like I forgot about it for a while.
I FINALLY found myself a sure 'nuff 8 OTY on the bay. She needs a good clean-up but all in all, she will be a good addition to my Old Timer collection.

I hope that surface rust is what turned everyone else off. BUT, I think I can deal with that. Full blades and I think it will clean up right nice like.
