All About Pocket Knives

That is a great knife you have there. You do seem to come up with some beauties.
Tony.

This is the clip blade version.
edit: dang it!

Cal.... when posting.... you need to keep the knife in the same orientation as the catalog clip so that when I stand on the ceiling, the knife doesn't look upside down.... Seriously.... anyway you look at it.... that's one sweet lookin' Schrade! ....far beats the ones I have seen locally lately....

I bought a small collection a while back and in it were a few nice Schrades. First is an 825 stainless stockman.

Next is a 895 stockman.

Next are a pair of 883 stockmans with punches.

Next is an 804 with the "Everlastingly Sharp"etch.

Next is a Schrade Cut.2903 salesman sample.

Next is an 863 with the "Kon Kav"etch.

Next are a pair of 861 stockmans,1 has a pattern # and 1 doesn't.

And lastly is an 881 with a etch "Craftsman 9514 Professional Stockman".It has really nice red tinted peach seed bone.

Very nice Roger! I really like that 863 kon-kav.

Thanks Greg.I l I like it too.

Roger, you have really outdone yourself. That is a magnificent group!

Nice!

I picked up a nice etched 863 at the tulsa show from Roger, I really like it.

That is a nice old knife. Ken

Roger it looks like all of your Schrade-Walden knives have bone handles. These are harder to find than the same patterns with jigged Delrin handles which were first used in 1960.

I got this Cut Co serpentine jack today:
I can't find it in the catalogs so I'm guessing it might be a late teens or early twenties knife. Far from perfect but a nice old Schrade none the less. 2 7/8 closed with a half saber clip and pen blades.

think this would be your peanut pattern. Although yours does not have a shield, that would be a common variation. Yours would sometimes be called "assorted celluloid handle", or AC at the end of the pattern number. a "4" means celluloid, so yours might be 2724 3/8 AC.

Thanks Cal. That's the pattern I was initially leaning towards but I didn't know about the ACs and that there could be variations without a shield. Knowing that helps (and will undoubtedly lead me to misidentify lots of knives, lol) - thanks for the lesson! I think there's one last hurdle in confirming that pattern. The picture of the 2724 has the cap pointing 'up' but the knife I got has a downward facing cap. Some of these old Schrades can really keep you guessing!

Oops! I did not catch that. Back to the catalog.

Got another abused 34OT Stockman !
