Re: Shapleigh Hardware Co.
Nice knife, Ike.
I like that Butter & Molasses look. I have two or three knives with those covers.
How long is that handsome stockman?

Re: Shapleigh Hardware Co.
Was able to buy this Shapleigh B639 Moose Knife at an Antique Store in Arizona over the weekend. I would like to know who manufactured it. Schrade, Empire or another and approximately when it was made, I`m guessing 1920`s. High quality. Bone is perfect, knife still snaps. 4 1/4" long. It weighs 5 oz. Impressive to hold. I really like it. Thanks, Mike

Oh man, that is a beautiful old Moose, Mike.
You are so fortunate to have that one. Nice catch!

Re: Shapleigh Hardware Co.
Thank You for the reply. I thought Schrade Cut may have made it but since this knife doesnt have Peach Seed Bone I wasnt sure. Now I know! Thanks again.

Great pattern, love those handles.
Here is a shapleigh that I carry everyday. It’s the same as an early schrade walden 856.

Re: Shapleigh Hardware Co.
What the heck are those old St Louis knives doing out there in the desert? Send me the address of that antique store, I will buy a plane ticket and head out with some cash.Desert Golfer wrote: ↑Sun Aug 15, 2021 12:45 pm I found this Shapleigh D98, 4 Blade Butter and Molasses Knife at an Arizona Antique Store yesterday.

Re: Shapleigh Hardware Co.
Thank You so much for the wonderful comments Gentlemen. Glad you enjoyed seeing these Old Knives. Sorry, cant give you info on where I picked these knives from. Apparently folks from the St. Louis area retired and moved out here to Arizona and brought their old knives with them. Now I have them. There are more. I`ll be hunting for them. Thanks Mike.

What is going on with the master blade ? The large scooped out area looks too even to be from the piece breaking off. I have not seen a master blade like this before.
