Re: It's In The Mail
Well.... just when I decide you JUST CAN'T FIND a Schrade-Walden 34OT..... here comes another.
This one looks to have a full set of blades. Maybe it will clean up nicely!
And this one comes with a box..... Don't know if it is THE box, but it could be maybe....
My OT collection has a couple of nice additions now!

Tonight I bought this Camillus 40 box. It appears to be in pretty good condition. I'll post some pictures, in the appropriate location(s), when I receive it.

First knife acquisitions of 2020 are heading my way, from our own blazzar5. And 4 beauties no less .
First to start the ball rolling...
An Schatt & Morgan, from the "File and Wire Series", jigged honey brown bone, camper style. My very first high end camper, can't wait to look it over in the flesh.
Schweeeeet!

Next up is a vintage Edge Brand, Solingen Germany, stag bowie. She's in mint condition (sweet ), the acid etch is in surprisingly great condition.
I've been wanting a vintage fixed blade for some while now.

Re: It's In The Mail
I have that sheath, but not that knife. I don't know if my great-uncle lost it, or it went to someone else, and I ended up inheriting the leftovers everyone else in the family didn't want.WillyCamaro wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 12:58 am Next up is a vintage Edge Brand, Solingen Germany, stag bowie.

My Granddad gave me the smaller Edge Brand 460 (3 3/4 skinner blade). It holds an edge really well. I need to adjust the guard though--it doesn't fit my meaty fingers.
Re: It's In The Mail
WillyC, you got quite a haul there. Some really knice knives. Congrats. That S&M and the Edge Brand are the stand outs to me but all great knives. You did well.

I guess I am on a camillus kick. This morning I bought a bone handle 67 pattern stockman. It was well priced.

Re: It's In The Mail
Very interesting. Long line, bone handled (you don't see that very often) and no pattern number stamped on the pile side tang or anywhere else. Looks to be in reasonably good condition for it's age.

Re: It's In The Mail
It also lacks a shield. I've seen many synthetic and a few bone handled 67 patterns that were not stamped with a number, do you know why they did that?jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 2:33 pm Very interesting.

I am hoping it'll be good. I can't tell if it has the shorty clip blade or regular.

Re: It's In The Mail
Thank you Cody, doglegg, and Gary .
Fun story Cody, and it's good to know the steel is good. But it's going to be a safe queen anyway, no plans to carry or use.
Coming from the masters, I am very humbled, and pumped at the same time! Thank you sirs!
That's a mighty fine lookin Camillus KS, you done good .

Re: It's In The Mail
Just shows how observant I am. I didn't notice the lack of a shield. What you're calling a "shorty clip blade" looks more like a sheepfoot blade to me.

Re: It's In The Mail
The shorty clip is an oddity with the main blade that I've noticed on some 67's and other 3 7/8'' camillus stockman patterns. Some of them have a shorter clip blade with less belly that looks like it was intended for a smaller frame knife. These were not sharpened down blades as I've seen them with the factory edge. Unfortunately I no longer have any examples with which to show a comparison.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:59 pmJust shows how observant I am. I didn't notice the lack of a shield.

Re: It's In The Mail
I just bought this Craftsman, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. It's a pattern 9494 and as far as I can tell, not stamped or marked as such. When I receive it, it'll get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Just a few moments ago, I purchased this (probably) Geo Schrade, single blade, wire jack, hawkbill pruner, pocket knife. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Re: It's In The Mail
Skip, your Craftsman looks like a Schrade USA 863 Carpenters Whittler. Maybe one of the Schrade experts will know for sure. I bought a NOS 1987 made Case 63087 Medium Stockman this morning, will see it sometime mid to late next week. OH

Re: It's In The Mail
That's a great looking knife that you ordered. The Craftsman that I'm expecting, "should" be available for me to pick up at the post office today. I need to check the tang stamp(s). I'm 99.99% sure that Schrade made it. Schrade's Carpenter Whittler is pattern 863 and the Schrade made (Sears) Craftsman Carpenter Whittler is pattern 9494. I now have 7, Schrade 863s and with the one I get today, I now have 6 Craftsman 9494s. Basically, the only differences between the 863 & the 9494 knives are the shields and the tang stamps. I will clean it up if necessary. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).Old Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 5:25 pm Skip, your Craftsman looks like a Schrade USA 863 Carpenters Whittler.

Re: It's In The Mail
I figured I needed a Congress knife since I didn't have one ..... So...
This Ulster Congress is on it's way to my collection.
It's an interesting joker....
. It has 2 inside liners..... Hmmmmmm..... kinda like 2 knives put together.
Looks like fun.
