My latest Schrade
Re: My latest Schrade
This Muskrat Trapper 77OT just arrived and I can’t wait to clean it up.
Cleaning up pocket knives is really something I enjoy.

Re: My latest Schrade
Blades look full. Nice! I also enjoy cleaning my knives plus taking good pics of them so I can post them here and easily sell them if necessary.
I have champagne tastes and a beer budget when it comes to Schrade collecting. When I can't afford to add any new treasures to my hoard fawning over the ones I already have scratches the itch nicely.
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting!
Re: My latest Schrade
Same here. I’m on a tight budget and really don’t add knives very often.
I prefer to polish and use the few I already have.

Re: My latest Schrade
Benton629, I have several of those Old Timer Muskrats. You should enjoy using that one.
There is a very well worn 77 that stays, blade open, in our kitchen window above the sink. I have used it for years to do trimming on venison, both in processing and in preparation to cook. It is just a special go to knife for a specialized job of removing tiny bits of fat or silver skin that have been overlooked that need removing.

This one came from my Uncle Barry's Collection. He is deceased now, however, he was in charge of the Custom Knife and Quality Control sections at Schrade. His older brother Harold worked in the Custom Knife Section fir him and his older sister (my Mom) worked fir him in Quality Control. Schrade was truly a family oriented company.
Re: My latest Schrade
I bought an SP-2 Raider from a member here pretty cheaply. I find the handles of the Schrade USA Lightweight series to be the slimmest and most comfortable Zytel-handle lockbacks that I've tried--and pretty much, it's been a big amount of the knvies I've bought since COVID started to be an issue in late March. These tend to be really inexpensive, even brand new in the box. While I mostly collect Old Timers and Uncle Henry in terms of newer USA-made Schrade, I think I'll start a subcollection of the lightweight knives; as well as having SP-1 through SP-7 versions as users, in both PE and SE. So far, I'm only aware of an orange SP3 for the Tennesee Vols. (SMKW SFO?). Are there any other odd colors I should look out for?

This little 1990 Lightwight is a Schrade Give-Away, Schrade gave knives to some of the Dealers.

Re: My latest Schrade
Picked up this Schrade two blade serpentine jack. It has a Schrade Walden shield, with a Schrade N.Y. U.S.A. tang stamp. Great walk and talk on both blades and no cracks or looseness on handles. Gonna make a good edc rotation.
I also picked up this little 180T liner lock. Don't know why, but I just like the liner locks that were produced by Schrade.

Re: My latest Schrade
I like muskrats, anyway, but the bone (3 different color variants) on those Tradesmen sets is really nice. Good score!
Re: My latest Schrade
Here are two that I just got at a gun show, a 127UH and a 125OT both unused and in their box. Terry

Re: My latest Schrade
Picked this one up the other day to add to my EDC, A OT 1940T Schrade likes to call a gunstock. I liked the way the delrin looked on this one. To me a better look than the new ones with the pinkish tints. Has tight blades with good snap and liner lock locks tight. A minimum of cleaning was needed.

Hi Papa Bones, the Schrade "194 OT" is one of my favourite users - This one has 1984 etched on the blade....

Re: My latest Schrade
Hello Ken, very nice. I had one several years ago I think around 2004, and enjoyed how it felt in the hand. I lost it out cutting wood. Never got around to replacing it because of travels with my job. Just now got around to replacing it.koldgold wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 11:30 pmHi Papa Bones, the Schrade "194 OT" is one of my favourite users - This one has 1984 etched on the blade....

The 94OT is my favorite along with your 194OT.
I prefer the old Delrin look as well.
The new “schrades” cannot equal Schrade USA Old Timers.

Re: My latest Schrade
Schrade was still selling the 95 OT and intending to sell the 194 OT, with a wooden handle in 2004.

Re: My latest Schrade
Nice. Keep your eye peeled for the DU Canada wooden handled Schrade folding hunter. And, of course, any of the Calgary Stampede knives. I gave a stag CS lockback (LB-7 type) to a fellow who did not care anything about it. Oh well.

Re: My latest Schrade
I am really getting into ISC/Ellenville era Schrades that have handles other than plastic. Looks like I'm gonna have to look out for that one!bladecollectorr wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 10:32 pm Seller accepted my offer on a liitle "108DU Gentleman's Pocket Knife by DU Canada".
