My latest Schrade

[thawk]

Your 58OT is a dandy Gary.

[ringergary]

thawk, Thanks, but your's are better pics.
Trying to get the full set of Prince Albert knives in good condition.

All good lookin knives Gary!

[orvet]

You have been busy Gary!
Are any of those muskrats the single spring models?

[ringergary]

Dale, Only have a single spring in SCHRADE WALDEN. No pic posted as yet.
Yeah, didn't post anything for 6 months last year but was still adding to the pile.
Can only find a bit of time now because we are in the middle of our wet season.
Last few days over Easter I've been putting my knives on my new PC program I got
last week.
Will dig out the single springer tomorrow and post a pic.

Got this one for the whittler collection.
It's a 804.


Gary.

[ringergary]

Seem to be hogging this thread, this is nother Schrade in my pack.
SCHRADE N.Y. U.S.A. 863.
I like the fat belly on this one, and the feel in the hand of a real knife just
pushes all my buttons.

Schrade PH1. Somebody removed the back pin before I landed it.

[jerryd6818]

Gary, the 863 is same-same Camillus #72 (shown below). That pattern has crawled up my butt and I currently have a dozen (one is on the way). I'm hooked on the Carpenter's Whittler. I'm searching for a Schrade 863 I can afford, in the same condition as yours appears to be in. The Schrades seem to go for more than the Camillus, Remington, Powr-Kraft, Craftsman, Imperial variations.

Good looking knife. Thanks for posting it.

[ringergary]

Looks good from over here Scott.
Keep them coming.


Gary.

[ringergary]

Here's a little bloke I've had for a while.
I had to mark the blades when I was putting them on my new program
to identify the pics.
The blade says it.



Gary.

[ringergary]

And this one's his brother.
Like these little ones.
Schrade Cut.Co. 243.
Same knife, different handles.

Gary.

[ringergary]

Jerry, Got one of them, your's got different handles.
You posted in the middle of my splurge and I didn't notice till I reread the posts.
Might be bias, but the Schrade's still better.
Your's is still a beauty.
And a big WELCOME to all your fella's that have come to DARWIN.


Gary.

[ringergary]

Most of these I've had for yonks, have just got a program on my PC to
put them and pics in order so I can access them easier.
This one's a SCHRADE U.S.A. 61OT.


Gary.

[TripleF]

You go Gary!!!

[jerryd6818]

your's got different handles.

Gary.

It's because the one I posted is from the early mid-'40s before they stopped using bone for handles and went to composite handles (Delrin, etc).

I took a closer look at your 863 and it looks dead mint. It's a real beauty. Any idea when it was made?

thawk, Thanks, but your's are better pics.

Gary.

That's your picture, I just zoomed in. That Utility knife is the hardest one to find.

Nice 804 too.

[ringergary]

Dale, Here's that single spring Muskrat.
SCHADE WALDEN N.Y U.S.A. 787.
Also a SCHRADE WALDEN N.Y. U.S.A. 761.
It's got a clip & spey blade.
Both a bit worn but they are OK.


Gary.

[orvet]

Nice Gary, I like that 761! They were only made for about 6 years or so.

Too bad the one blade on the 787 is short. If you open the full blade be careful when you close it.
I had one with a short blade and the long blade tended to catch on the short one when closing.
Nonetheless, it is still a good find, not too many of them around.

[ringergary]

Thanks Dale, At the moment I've been concentrating on the older SCHRADE's.
Got a long way to go before I get one of each.( if ever).

Gary.

[ringergary]

A couple of little one's.
SCHRADE WALDEN NY. USA. 759 and a 760.
I like it when one model follows the other.


Gary.

[glennbad]

Love the color on that 760, Gary!

Glenn

[ringergary]

Yeah Glenn, It feels good to hold too, nice and slim for a little one.
K horn celluloid I think they call it.
This one's a SCHRADE CUT. CO. 890.
Got really nice pocket worn bone.

Gary.

[ringergary]

I was wrong again Glenn, that handle material on the 760 is
called mottled brown horn celluloid.


Gary.

[ringergary]

Here's one I just dug out.
SCHRADE WALDEN NY. USA. 774.
