Schrade Walden 204s Electricians Knife

Post by Jeffinn »

A very solid knife. I wasn’t expecting to find Swinden keys but they’re there. Nice solid nickel silver bolsters, thick brass liners and the previous owner already re-profiled the screwdriver blade (not a bad job either).
Just gonna clean it up, install some black bone handles (it’s the only bone I have in the length I need for this knife) and re-install the original shield. It should be a fun project.

It cleaned up nicely. I left the bone fairly thick and it works well with this style of knife.

Turned out great Jeff. The blue looks conservatively classic. Great job all the way around. ::nod:: ::tu::
