All About Pocket Knives

WOW

thanks, I didn't know it was such a short run.
Older and more rare than I thought.

There is only a little blood. Very appropriate, especially if you're whittling

BatJak,
There is a lot of info about Schrade knives on this site. Click on this link and it'll take you to the Schrade Knife Reference Guide here on AAPK.

Be sure and check out the Schrade Knife Image Gallery while you're there.

I had some rolls out today, moving knives around. This thread seemed appropriate for this picture of my "number one" schrade roll of cuts and walden's. All bones in this except for my favorite pearl. The chain jack was in here but I moved it to my "number two" roll of pre delrin's. A third roll is needed.

The collection has come a long ways since I started with old schrades. I'm very grateful to have these fine pieces of history.

Batjak, nice group of schrades! Interesting to see the sears fixed blade(7th pic down). It is not very common. Wish I had that cool sheath to go with mine.

Paul very nice roll of Schrades Would be great to see a group photo or two of your Schrades outside of their rolls! This is just a tease when you show some knives in a roll with just their heads/bolsters poking out Inquiring minds want to see Thanks

My wife doesn't understand my knife obsession.
One time, while putting away dishes, I jokingly said "ya got enough tupperware in this cabinet?"
To which she replied "ya got enough pocket knives?"
I shut up at that point...

If it was shoes or purses, she would "get it".

I did notice there's no 863 in that fine collection. What the heck is that all about?

I've shown most of them, scattered about the forum, but some group photos would be good.

In the meantime until I get some photos together they are from right to left: 8813, 8813 SS, 881, 880, 879, 8173, 8566, 856, 856, 856, ulster stamped jr cattle (which is an 856), 787, 863, 895, 899, 899, 890, 890 and the chain jack is a 1251.

I will bail out Paul until he catches his breath.

Jerry, who is that question directed to?

Thank you for posting your knives!

Tom

Tom, Saying you have a few Schrades is kind of like saying AAPK has a few members

I agree with Duffer...pull those knives out of the rolls

BatJak

nope, I don't have one.
Pickins is slim in the desert.
I can't find good ol' pocket knives around these parts like you fellas.

Where the heck do y'all find all these pocket knives?

I do have a couple Camillus 72 (one old BSA user and a white scaled one like new)

I frequently get depressed lookin at all the awesome knives on this site

with the intention of reshaping the blades and making it a whittler.
I got the idea after seeing a picture of a knife Schrade made for Walt Garrison.
It was the 8OT frame with 3 sheepsfoot blades only, no spade or clip.

What a great collection BatJak. I really enjoyed the Walt Garrison reference. Quiet the real cowboy and an accomplished whittler. Now you have given me another knife to look for. Thanks for sharing.

Years ago I saw a WESTERN folder for sale on ebay with FOUR sheepfoot blades, and called a 'dynamite' knife (used by blasters in the construction trade?). I liked it and bid, but it went very high to someone else. It could be argued that the sheepfoot/lambfoot/wharncliffe/pig hoof blade is the most useful of all patterns.
