All About Pocket Knives

Your 58OT is a dandy Gary.

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


Gary.

All good lookin knives Gary!

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

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.


Gary.

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


Gary.

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.

Gary.

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

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.

Looks good from over here Scott.
Keep them coming.


Gary.

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.

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

Gary.

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.

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.

You go Gary!!!

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?

Gary.

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

Nice 804 too.

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.

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.

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.

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


Gary.

Love the color on that 760, Gary!

Glenn

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.

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


Gary.

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