I sure hope so!

What are the handles on the 881 ?
I have owned older Schrade-Walden with similar dark jigged handles and i could not decide if bone or synthetic.

Well, I have been huntin' around for a MOP Schrade Gentleman's knife ever since I saw the ones y'all have been posting.
I found this guy today on the bay.

It has a small chip out at one end but it still looks pretty nice.

This one came recently from Jeffin rescaling, love the color and bone and the fit and finish, fabulous reassembly. Also he left the blades as they were and whoever had it before me put edges on or used them down until their isn't much bevel on the Clip or spay, but nice one on the sheep. Thing is they are amazing to sharpen, just strop on leather, two or three minutes back and forth. Hair popping for months after that. I cut for months between rub downs on the leather and never really have to put it to stone or diamond. Sweet edge angle and sweeeeeeeeeeet old steel.

1957 was the last year they listed these 877 knives so they are nearly all "senior citizens". They are a favorite pattern of mine. Small scissors find many uses.

Great knife bladecollectorr. Looks like a good knife for a budcollecter too for sure.

No doubt! With legalization on October 17, 2018 life got a lot more relaxed in Canada. I'm a coffee and a spliff kind of guy.

I like to offer my guests a robust choice of flavors.
I suspect the "Pandemic Special" is likely being enjoyed in more places than South Park. Bats, pangolins and the easily offended with zero sense of humor, beware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVt5EZNAqLU

That's kinda funny...I had to look up what "spliff" meant.
Smoke up my Canadian friends.
I'll stick to beer

Thanks for narrowing down the age of my new "gentleman".....



(I suspected... BUT....I had to look up spliff too.......)

I picked up a pretty decent schrade walden 880. Really nice bone. It still has some of the etch too.

Here is another Schrade-Walden bone 880 "Kon-Kav", likely same age as the 880 above.
And a Kon-Kave 863 with bone (i think) handles.
Saber ground blades make a knife look more 'powerful'.

Good stuff all around, Paul and Roland!

Both wonderful Roland. But that 863....Wow!!!

Paul and Roland

Paul, Roland, couple of great looking knives guys

I'm with doglegg. Both are great knives but the 863 stands out. The sabre ground blades do have a unique look.
