I just got another one, except this one has never been used
Schrade Cut Co. but I’m not quite sure of the number.

The last digit is the handle material and I think yours is plastic so it would be C2154-3/4AC, but typically the AC knives were smooth. I don't know that there was ever a digit for jigged/molded plastic. Maybe someone else will know .

I think you are right about the number C2154-3/4AC. I noticed that one side of the main blade is crocus polished while the other side has a not so polished finish.

I was fortunate to get one more good one in before the closing of the year.

Yes Paul, I’d say you did. That has some beautiful handles on a great pattern.

Paul

That is a real beauty Paul, congratulations!

Don't think I posted this celluloid Cut Co Stockman here yet, not showing much use.

Thanks guys.

John that's a great stockman you have there. I really like the 3 1/2'' pattern.

Paul and John two very pretty and pristine Schrade Cuts

A couple of beauties from Paul and John.

Thanks for taking the time to post your oldies!

It took me over ten years to land a near-mint 1946 Fortune magazine knife at an affordable price.

Later that day, I bought the original December 1946 Fortune magazine for the ad. "Crisp, not read" condition. The only damage is on the front cover.

Paul and John, those are both magnificent cells. I just got an old 880 Kon-Kav, with a marvelous convex job by the previous owner-- super sharp!

Beautiful knife John.

Nice ones bladecollector and black mamba.

It's nice seeing all these great old cells popping up around here

Congrats on #1402. You got a heck of a deal on that one!

Thank you guys, appreciate the comments.

All those end of the year finds are awesome! I was able to find one more as well with more staining and scuffing than actual use.
Schrade cut co No. 7573

BFORSE, your 7573 is a nice knife and a nice pattern. The spear and clip combination is appealing.

That's a great moose. Mooses are not an often seen pattern by schrade ''in the wild'' but there are a few variants listed in the old catalogs.

Here is a rarity; a schrade walden 884 4'' stockman with genuine stag handles from the factory. It has been well used with honest blade wear but doesn't seem to have been abused and is nice and tight with good snap. The vintage stag looks great and it has coined nickel silver liners. I might make an EDC out of this old dandy. Thanks for hooking me up Roger.

Your welcome Paul.

Thank you, I really like having two different main blades in one knife. I almost got a case classics swell center moose knife that I have been eyeballin’ But then that Schrade 7573 that I have been looking for popped up on eBay.

Just received the first one of the new year, but I don’t know if it is a schrade cut co. or a schrade walden. Maybe you guys could help.
