All About Pocket Knives

Here is a sweet little aluminum handled SCC advertiser in MINT (I don't too often use that term) condition I snagged for a song at the last AAPK auction.

I was able to complete this set with the help of fellow AAPK member junebug

Upnorth; what an interesting group to compare, it really shows what can be done with a single pattern, and those ones even have a nice variety of tang stamps to boot. Ever think of making a Schrade picture book showing such things, like bone variations, stamps, and pattern changes? I think you'd be able to find plenty of buyers.

MM; nice find, it seems people liked to abuse those old aluminium advertisers, nice to see one in good shape.

Nice set Ozzie Marie; I bet those are getting harder to find complete and in good shape.

heres one i got in a shotgun purchase of 5. a HIGH CHARACTER "if it could talk" schrade walden bone handled 880. peach seed is pocket worn smoothly. i like it for its experience ----------brady

Here's a Schrade Cut Co 2019BR I just picked up

Keith

Here is an unusual old Schrade fixed blade.

OAL - 6-1/4"
Blade length - 3-1/4" tip to guard.

The tang reads:
STAGBRAND/GEO.SCHRADE KNIFE CO.
The back side tang is ink stamped 153.

I don't think George Schrade put out many fixed blades.
I think this is the only one I have in my collection.

Charlie might have some.

Dale,

Nice old knife

I have two or three of them in my collection. They do not turn up very often, atleast I see very few of them for sale.


Do you have the original sheath?

I wish I did have the sheath.
Do you have one with the sheath?
If so could you post a pic?
Maybe I can find a sheath close to original for it.

Dale

Dale,

Here is the Schrade knife and original sheath. I don`t think this knife was ever used. I am positive the sheath is the original one. The sheath is very ornate and very attractive. Not many American companies had ornate sheaths, usually they just stamped their company name or trademark logo on the sheath. One of the exceptions would be Cattaraugus.

The only other sheaths I have seen this ornate are ones made in Germany. Maybe Geo. Schrade had these sheath knives made in Germany and stamped with his name. I seems likely to me, as not many of these are found today. Any Schrade historians out there know something about these fixed blade Schrade knives??

those georges are really nice, i have not seen that stamp before, really neat sheath too! --------------brady

Not my latest, I've had it for quite a while, but it is an unusual knife, the only one I've seen that had the candy stripes running lengthways.

It's in excellent but far from mint condition.

By the way, this knife is a Schrade Cut. Co.

-

really nice example, i like it!! 2 horizontal stripes ?? have not seen that before-wow --------brady

Here is an old Schrade Walden whittler, an 804, these whittlers are just about like the Case 6380's. They are fairly common but I really like the light colored peach seed bone on this example and the saber ground master blade.

-

Coupla nice examples there Msteele!

Eric

Nice knives, msteele!
I posted my new one Schrade under Knife Lore!
I'll just refer you there to save bandwidth!

I just picked this up

its a press button knife co. -auto switch blade knife

founded by george schrade in 1892 walden n.y. -

not bad for a 100 year old knife huh?

Nice one Gino!

-

Thanks for the kind words on the knives. Here's a little senator pen that I have always loved the handles on. A lot of people are afraid of celluloid handles and with some justification, but when you see these 70 and 80 year old knives with celluloid that doesn't appear to have deteriorated at all, it makes you wonder.

This one is a Schrade Cut. Co.

-

here is a few more I picked up

Here's two that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Been used a lot and the file blade on the Senator has been reground to a whatever. Very used but not badly abused and I only paid $10 for the two of them. Thought they were kind of cool and they are the two oldest knives I have.

HER ARE SOME SCHRADES

2 Stages?

Nice knives none the less

-

This is an old Schrade Cut. Co. pattern 2072, it's in near mint condition. I have always loved these old wooden handled jacks.

That's a nice old Jack msteele6! You see more spear master versions. I was doing some scans today so I scanned my latest old Schrade, SCHRADE, WALDEN, NY USA, 730 stamped.
The scans don't do it justice but does show that it retains the original glaze finish. If it was used it wasn't used much. Saw it on Ebay and had to have it, so I'm sorry to anyone I sniped at the last seconds.

So, there are still some real beauties out there!!
Very nice knives, msteele, and Paul!!!

Was that knife mis-advertised, Paul? I didn't see it. Do you have the link?
With Oregon coming up, I'm not buying right now, but like to watch.
