All About Pocket Knives

trail wrote:Interesting knife, Ken. Do you think it was work in process when the factory closed? I have an unfinished wood handled Camillus from the bankruptcy sale that I keep as a reminder that all things pass, even great knife makers.

Trail, my 34OTSS was made for the 25 Anniversary of the Schrade Stockman, in 1984.
It looks perfect in every way to me, I cannot find a reason why it was not finished.
I have also posted one of my mint 34OTSS, for those that may not have seen a 34OTSS.

268bull, a German company; WURTH makes a "Highly effective rust loosener with excellent creeping ability", they call it "Rost off" " it runns up hill looking for rust. Belive me, this must have been made in heaven to fee up rusty knives, tools etc... Phone: +1 201 825 2710 or [email protected] Ken

Last week, I also found a 34OT-NY "Schrade Give-a-way". All the Schrade Giver-a -ways have become a very collectable item.

My latest Schrades - these were a great find
Carbon steel blades both knives - made in USA
34 Old Timer stockman
152 Old Timer Skinner w/leather sheath

New old stock - Never opened
Up for trade if anyone is interested PM me.

My favorite hunting duo there Gino I bought mine in 1984 love those ::nod::mine has the gut hook.

I bought this at a Tank auction a little while back.

This is some of my 4" knives, I like the blue one. The 8OT "keen kuter", is the only one I have seen. Ken

Ken, nice ones! Those were referred to as the "80" pattern. The blue one is actually an unfinished cigar box knife that was meant to be put out for Schrade's 100th anniversary. Just missing the shield and blade etch. The handles are blue rope jigged bone.

Nice collection of 80's Ken. Your Keen Kutter 80T is probably a mid 1970's version, given the NY in the stamp. There were a few early (1973-74) NY stamped examples with a matchstrike nail nick and the 80T stamped on the back side, similar to a Schrade Walden.

Hi all,

I posted this knife the other day in mail call, but thought I should add it here. It is a 752 that took me a goodly amount of effort to land, but was well worth the frustration involved. Enjoy!

Regards,
Russell

Nice ones thawk, I have not seen an 8OT like the knife on the left side - NY USA Matchstrike.
This is some more of my 4" knives, I also have some 8OTY. I think my John Primbel 935s were a good find, I have 4 of them.
The BUCK 301 was made by Schrade and the UH886 was made by Camillus.

Really nice mob, Ken.


Could look at them all day.



cheers Gary.

Here's one I wasn't aware that existed....won it off ebay!

WOW Tom!
That is awesome!
I have not seen that before either.

Here is one I got off ebay in 2007.
The seller sold it as a prototype (note #0000 on bolsters).
Maybe it was...

Very Nice one indeed Dale! Good thing I didn't see it before you, LOL.

Tom & Dale

Keith

Nice ones Tom and Dale, this is one of my latest lockbacks... Ken

Nice one Ken.
I have the knife but not the picture.

Here's my latest Schrade.
It goes with the knife, I'll be able to eat without using the finger's.




cheers Gary.

Dale, the picture is a tile mounted in the box... Ken

I got mine without the box.

They make a nice display.

I've taken a liking for the small, late model Schrades like this 104OT that I just picked up for $10 shipped off ebay. The 104 and 108 patterns seem to be built a little huskier than the corresponding Camillus or Bokers. For small knives, they are real solid and usable. Parenthetically, they're a heck of a lot nicer than a cheap foreign knockoff, for the same price or less.

Over the years I have had some of Schrade's 858 Old Timers. All had "Schrade+" stamped on the blade.
This is my latest 858OT; however, this one is stamped "Schrade" only.
I would like any information on my latest Schrade... Ken

805 KON-KAV

They introduced the pattern in 1978 with the carbon steel blades, with and without a sheath. Not sure when they added or switched to the stainless steel blades. The 1982 catalog shows stainless. They stopped making them in 1986.

Finally found a plain edged SW-7 (NIB).
Was beginning to think they never
actually made any.

Hi woseyjales, I have eight Schrade SW-7SN knives (only six in boxes - with Sheaths)
For quite some time, I was thinking they did not come in a box.
Now you show us, not only coming in a box - they also came with a plain edge.
In the past year, Australian Custom's have been stop these type of knives coming into Australia. Ken
