That is a beautiful knife; great catch! It was out of my budget.

Thanks Cal, it was out of mine also but he took a reasonable offer making it a little easier.

Added a nice Cut Co 3 5/8" bare end jack this week.

X3 - beautiful bare head jack!

Thank you Chris, Cal, Ralph, I've been pretty lucky lately with Schrade's, love the bone and quality construction of these old Schrade's.

Sure wish someone could do bone like this again.

You sure have!

Not quite as old... a Schrade Walden 896K (not uncommon, but is my first)... just can't resist those Butter & Molasses handles...
seller claimed it is lightly used... but when I received it yesterday... I didn't find any signs of use... no scratches on the blades and definitely still has the original factory edge.


[Edit: Thanks to Cal setting me straight I corrected the typo I made on the pattern number from 894K to 896K]

Great looking knife and congrats on the pick up...I wondered who outbid me on that one.

Been happening to me so often lately that I don't even weigh in on some of them. Been thinking of picking up a part-time job.

I know what you mean Cal...I haven't won too many myself....although I did pick up this 8OT on another forum the other day.

Sorry about that... but being the first time I found one before the price was thru the roof... I just had to go for it...
Nice pick on the 8OT... after all... can never have enough of that pattern...

KAW don't blame you at all for outbidding me...that is a particularly nice slenderino. As to the 8OT, while it seems to be a popular pattern among most collectors, that one is only the 2nd one in my collection.

I got this one for Christmas, a Schrade Walden SS700 melon tester, looks to be from the '60s, excellent condition.

I like those melon testers, too. They are handy around most fruit, and oh so cute.

Nice ones John, Ken, and dweb.

They make dandy letter openers. For some reason I like’em.
