All About Pocket Knives

There it the better kept version of the one I posted.
Thank you, that confirms that Schrade did use that type clevis, (just one of the many things I didn't know about the old Cut Cos.)

Well, I do have a clevis like that, so when I get the handle repaired I can replace it.

Thanks for sharing it!

Glad I could help Dale

I picked it up at a junk store.

Dimitri, that bullhead or moose is absolutely dripping with charm. I love it (and...ummm...want it!).

804 for Sears Craftsman. 1950s.

tongueriver,

That Craftsman 804 is AWESOME!

I picked up this 881 for $4.00. It cleaned up pretty nice, but the blades are all used up.

It has been around awhile, thought some might want to see it again. This artificial winter light is horrible for photos, they are what they are.

Hi from Australia Johnj,
I have been using the same old 881 almost ever day since 1973. (below)
I have some unused 881's still in the tubes... Ken

Here's a very early George Schrade all metal folder

Hi all, Here's one I haven't seen before.
It's a Schrade Walden 836.
It has 2 blades one end on seperate springs and the main
blade other end opens on both backsprings.

Gary.

Awesome Gary.
The 836 was a Schrade Cut Co pattern that was carried over into Schrade Walden when Albert Baer bought Schrade Cut Co.

Here is a cut from a 1948 Schrade Walden catalog, notice that it is still listed with the Schrade Cut Co number: 8364 3/8B. I have seen the 836 in the catalogs up until 1958. After that is was dropped from the catalogs.

I have not seen one like that before.
Since it has not been made since 1958, I doubt there are many around.

Definitely a rare find!

How come they wouldn't call that a "Whittler"?

They just did not use that term, for whatever reason. I see they called the 804 a mechanics knife, or a carpenters knife. I attribute it to marketing.

In this 1954 catalog, there is an 837, same pattern with bone handles, and it's called a "Whittler". They called the 836 a "Serpentine Pattern" this go around. Just inconsistent descriptions.

What we desperately need is a Time Machine! That would be a NICE one to have new!

Here are some Schrade's I've picked up over the last couple of weeks.

Here is one I have had as a project for a while. The shield was solder someone had put in the hole where the shield had been, but the handles are beautiful red bone once I got the crud off them. I finally found a shield for it and cleaned out the solder and glued in a new shield after deepening the recess. I left the heavy patina on the blades to protect them from rust. It makes a nice EDC!

PRETTY...that's nice.
