All About Pocket Knives

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

A couple of Schrade Walden 8OTs (so marked), one in sawcut and one in yella comp.

Fished this Schrade Walden 804 whittler out the bay recently. It is certainly a big old knife. Was this one also called a Mechanic's Knife?

Yes, in the catalogs it was called mechanics knife.

Thanks Paul, I thought I had read that somewhere.

All good ones! That yellow muskrat is a Camillus.

I THINK I'VE BEEN HAD, VERY DIFFERENT - I THINK SCHRADE BLADE AND SHEILD BEEN PUT ON CAMILLUS MUSKRAT

OR DID CAMILLUS MAKE FOR SCHRADE ?

Yes, Camillus DID make them for Schrade. A few patterns actually, but I think it was between the two bankruptcies, Schrade's and certainly before the Camillus bankruptcy. I am just not sure. They are every equal of anything coming out of the Schrade buildings. By the last decade of Schrade, Camillus and Imperial were just as much a part of the 'Schrade' output as Schrade itself. I think.

I got to looking and I have a 293Y that is similar and bet is Camillus as well BUT NOT 4"

I got this one earlier in the week. Nice original, clean and minty 1950's 881, with factory edges. Match striker pull with peachseed bone is not a real common combination on these. I am liking this one a lot.

I LIKE THAT 881 - VERY NICE

Hey thanks. You've got some nice schrades as well.

I have a few ...

Paul's 881 up above is outstanding

I see in Hak1911's signature that he's looking for an 8813. I don't have one for sale but it made remember I had one somewhere that I don't think I've posted here yet. This one's the stainless variant, so SS8813. You don't see a lot of 8813s, and even fewer in SS.

Jason - that is a great looking knife

Thanks

The scrim showed up in the mail today which is the fifth (out of 6) 4" stockman made for the 100th anniversary. Now for that elusive 6th pattern...

All 5 are nice - But the new scrim in the middle stands out

Here's a couple of wavy's. They are both the same except for slightly different match strikes.

Nice Strikers

Here is a couple I will add.....
My 8OT yeller....
. AND.... an 89OT Blazer....
