All About Pocket Knives

Papa Bones wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 10:13 pm Added another addition to my Steelies and G.Schrade family, A Stainless Steel hawk bill pruning knife. It is 3-1/8" closed not including the eyelet. The tang stamp is G.SCHRADE KNIFE CO. INC over B'PORT.CT.USA over STAINLESS. The blade has an etch with SUPERTEX RIBBON CO. over DON O'CONNEL. The body of the frame is stamped in script with "Say It With Flowers"underlined over STAINLESS STEEL. I'm figuring it was a promotional give-a-way knife. The knife is like new, great snap, doesn't appear to have been re-sharpend, and just has a few spots on the blade. The blade is high polished and the body is a brushed finish. Not sure of the age of this one. The only thing I could find on Supertex Ribbon Co. was in New York City & was established in 1955, then around 1971 was re-established as SuperTex Textiles Inc. which was dissolved in 1993. Here are some pictures, all this knife needed was to oil the joints.

Nice one! I have not seen that pattern before. Looks like a baby version of the "Hunting and Fishing Knife" frame.

Delrin is in really good shape, blades have a lot of life left in them, and it's not too pretty to carry! Price was right too. Patina on the blades, but not rusty. I'll take all like this I can get. Cleaned it a bit, a little oil, and right into my pocket it went!

I have a Craftsman that had a broken tip, so I turned it into a Wharncliff. It's a wonderful "user" too!IMG_1350.JPG

Both are good looking knives. Good job on the Craftsman.

The first a Schrade Walden N.Y. U.S.A. with the model number stamped on the pile side of the blade. The second is a Schrade Walden N.Y. U.S.A. with model number on the mark side. It has the serrated blade and bale on the handle.

Here is something you might find useful.

The yellow knife is a 196 Florist knife with a shackle.
The small jack is a 33OT, unsharpened.
The old warrior is an 881, missing the shield still plenty of meat on the used blades.
