Picked up these 2 Schrade Cut Co's, a 3 1/4" pick bone sheepsfoot jack and a trapper with a corset shield, not as common as the ones with other shields. Both knives in very good condition

Thanks for looking friends!

JohnR two wonderful knives. Your pick ups are always a pleasure to see. Absolutely beautiful knives.

Thats a nice knife Tom. Beautiful pickups JohnR. Rescued this Cutco, blades were put up wet and required a lot of cleanup. Handles are good shape though.

ld64, looking good! Those peach seed jigged bone handles look pristine and show little if any use That folder like you said was probably carried once and put away wet

It is a little brother to the R7973 so i wanted it for that reason. I showed this once on another thread.

The saliva continues to issue forth.

Gorgeous, the last one too. Two fab knives.

My latest oldie is an early 1980s knife built on a much older Schrade Cut Co skeleton. Schrade had a few of these Cut-Co-days 2-1/4" coffin-pattern (lobster) skeletons in storage. They worked with the Shaw-Leibowitz team to create these fine little knives.

I'd say this qualifies as one of the finest Schrade's I own. I purchased it from Charlie (he started this thread) who owned it for many years. It won't be escaping my grasp any time soon. Thanks Charlie!

My example is #43

I don't blame you at all. That's an incredible knife!

Excellent finds John.

I don't think I've posted these Schrades here that were in the collection of Camillus president Nilo Miori, but then again I can't find my car keys and wallet most days.

All wonderful but oh that Farmers Jack!!!

The 2623 swell-centre with the bow-tie shield really works for me. Outstanding group of old Schrade knives! Interesting back-story too.

Yes, that balloon jack wants to be with me!

Real beauties! Congratulations!
Knives like these, even used knives like these are what keeps me from being interested in the new knives available today.

Thanks guys. I only recently started buying older Schrades after carrying a few Old Timers through the years. I guess I have the peach seed fever now.

Old Timers are great, too. I would say that most any Schrade that was made in the USA has a place in my collection. The three you showed are incredibly nce!

Thanks. I agree about the Old Timers. I still have one that a local bank gave my dad years ago, and they were always in a local hardware store display back in the day.

Great to see such beauties, wow, so fine and stylish. Thanks for that eye candy.
