Another stunner, congrats John, absolute beautiful bone.

Thank you Ivoryman,


Won an auction for a very nice early Schrade Walden 804 whittler, surprisingly I was the only bidder. Looks to have had little use, still has some Everlastingly Sharp etch remaining, sat unused in a pocket slip for some time. I would think this one is late 1940's, before Schrade started stamping pattern number on tang.

Another score, wow you find the beauties. Congrats. That's a beautiful whittler, the bone is rocking it.

Nice score John!

Pulled this old Cut Co. jack out today for a little wipe down. Well uses, but still snappy and solid.

Here is my latest OLD Schrade....
(Not in the best shape but the covers are NICE!....LOL)

Easy Open Boy Scout.......


I hope someone can show me a nicer version of this knife....
I want to try a little resto on it.

Nice catch Mike , that easy opener scout is a hard one to find .

Thanks Mike!

Have you got a nice example you could post?
I would like to know what one looks like.

I’m sure I have a couple packed away , this one was handy , it’s marked SD&G but it’s obviously a Schrade made knife .

VERY cool...
I see that the main blade is a sheep's foot blade. I had in my mind that the main blade might have been a spear point blade like a lot of the older knives.
Thanks for posting up your knife! It will give me some guidance for my restoration work on mine!

Most of these early Boy Scout easy openers came with a sheep foot master blade .

Nice group and sweet group shot. You have some great bones in there and some real lookers. Keep 'em coming.

Schrade Cut Co stainless steel easy open jack, back of blades marked SS and interestingly enough the spring has a small S also. Light Stainless Steel etch on main blade.

Yes Cal, I post on both forums, thanks.

Thank you Iman, Lyle.

Well....
I am glad to be able to add another 2OT to my collection.
The seller had a higher price on it than I wanted to pay but (after I was NICE when I made my offer) the seller accepted my offer.

The seller told me a few "knife people" had been really mean to her (I can just imagine things that were said.... ). Then I had to ask myself....WHY?
I told her all the knife people I hang out with are nice people.

Anyway..... here it is....


There is an indicator on this knife that suggests how (or maybe...when) the "coining" was applied to the liners. Notice how the coining extends over slightly on to the bolster.
INTERESTING!!!


SO there ya are.... my latest Old Schrade.

Love that 2OT Mike, really nice looking knife.

I also love the 20T and to get the box is a bonus.

Grant

Mike a big score with that one.

Congratulations, Mike!
