All About Pocket Knives

For some reason, I can't stop buying everyone of these that I find

How many of the same knife do you have to purchase, before its considered an addiction

Wait........don't answer that question

Geo. Schrade Yale Key Knife

Keith

Keith,

Very nice!

Keith, great find!! How many of those do you find still in the box with the lock included?

Eric

Eric,

In 5 years of looking for these, I have only found 3 in their original boxes and I paid dearly for them

The key knives are identical but all 3 boxes are diffrent, so I'm thinking they were produced at diffrent times

Here are a couple Old Schrades I got recently.
The 499 came from Mossdancer, (thank you WB), and the 13Ot I have had for a while, but haven't posted it.

I hope you enjoy them,

Here are my Schrade/Press Button Knife Co. knives....








If anyone has any info on the Press Button as far as worth goes I would appreciate it. All of my pocketknives that I have I got from my Grandfather when he passed and have just gotten around to really looking at them and seeing what they are worth for insurance reasons.

Thanks,

Snappy

It is hard to tell the value from just a couple pics, as we can't see all the knife and how it functions.
I am not a switch expert, but lt632ret is. Lt632ret is Richard Langston, longtime member of AAPK and world famous switchblade authority. In his book, The Collectors Guide To Switchblade Knives", Rich lists the Press Button Victor (5" closed), in mint condition at $650.

I think yours may be the Victor, but obviously it is not in mint condition,
but that gives you a general idea of the price if it was perfect.

Each step down from mint drops the value of the knife substantially,
but I would not be surprised if yours was worth in the $200 range if there is no damage not seen in the pics and it closes,fires & locks just fine.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge about switches will be along soon.

A good friend gave me a 1958, 25th Anniversary and I was hooked. This week, I got this 1983, 50th Anniversary in mint condition with it's original plastic sleeve. It's my fourth Miracle Whip Anniversary knife and I'm looking for more.

ELSnapatan, I have one in my gallery pictures on this web site with the VICTOR etch. I would be interested in yours if you are selling.

Here's an oldie, but still a goody. A Schrade Cut Co florist knife. Think this is going to do some edc time it's tight and has wicked half and full stops and snap.

Great old knives.

The florist looks like it's in great shape and you can't get much nicer than a pearl cattle knife.

Just got this one already have a ? for the experts.
It's 3 1/8", cracked ice scales, tang stamp is Schrade, back is 758.

I looked in the list's that were created for Schrade, and that patn# is not there. Older Models 46-56, and the open stock. Searched the forums for Schrade Walden 758, nothing. Did some searches on the net, didn't come up with anything. Any help?

Found this info:

Model 758 -- 3-1/8" Senator pattern; spear & pen blades; marine pearl handle; brass liners; N/S tips & shield
Sold 1953-1958

Ambrose, that's an earlier Schrade Walden model, carried over from the Cut. Co. days. I think it was discontinued around the 1957-58 time period. There was also the 757, which was the bone handled version. That knife's in great shape, nice find!

Eric

Thanks guys! I would love to know where you aquired this info. I have a few reference books, am going to get Goins soon. I guess that's a must if your serious about knife collecting. There is alot of great info out here, but if you will, let me know any other sources I should buy or goto on the web. Thanks!

I've had these for a good while but I guess they are my latest old Schrades

Here is a new one I got on ebay, $2.75 plus shipping.
The handles are mostly all there, the back scale is intact, although I discovered there was a crack in the front the seller likely didn’t know about. I have epoxied the front scale back in place and am working on a repair for the corner of the scale that is missing. Too bad the file is broken.
I really like the old bone scales on this one! I wish we could get bone this color today.

picked up two this month in great shape Schrade cut company

Those are a couple of real beauties.
