Nice find Dimitri!

I have been looking for one for years.
It is a #200 made from about 1948 to 1958 or 1959.
Looks to be in good condition too!

Thanks for the info Dale!

The blade was so black from a tar of some kind I could not even read the tang till I removed the stuff. Needless to say I was surprised to see it was a Schrade

Are they rare?

It is rock solid. Full blades. Hard snap on all three. It's been in the RFP since I got it. She's a keeper for sure.

THANKS AIMUS

Glad you like it Cutty.

Who would think oil would make the blades look that dark? The feller I got that knife from about 25 or 30 years ago or longer didn't do anything to his knives in his collection. He just bought them and put them in a knife roll, never opened the knife roll to check on or do any up keep to his knives.

He had a lot of knives that were ruined because of his neglect to them. Someone that knows Schrade tang stamps better than me can tell if the tang stamp on your 61OT Old Timer is one of the older ones that came after the Schrade Walden tang stamp. I think Schrade started putting NY. on the tang stamps later on and up until they closed.

It's a pipe knife for those that aren't aware. Somewhat rare. Used to be more common pattern when more folks smoked pipes. Blade would have been covered in (likely) tobacco tar and soot/ash from scraping the pipe's bowl clean. Long "thingy" (reamer) is for cleaning the stem of the pipe (and piercing cigars) and the round end is for tamping your pipe.

Now-a-days it's the cannabis loving Schrade collector that gets to use these. Great size for small stone pipes. Don't ask me how I know

It's after '73 because it's stamped "Schrade" not "Schrade Walden" and according to Dale's list they were made until 1990. That's as narrow a range as I can come up with. Maybe someone else can do better.

jerryd6818, Old Hunter, thawk: Thanks for the welcome!

I've actually been lurking here for a few years now but always did my Schrade posting on Bladeforums. This is a great site too! At first I figured it redundant to post on both sites but I've come to realize that not everyone reads both so I'm gonna start posting here too. I hope folks like Hal won't shoot me if I post some stuff here that has been seen before.

Neat lil pipe knife Dimitri

Good luck trading him outuvit Dale.

My latest Schrade is an authentic reproduction of the original
4 bladed Boy Scout knife commissioned by BSA for their Diamond
Jubilee 75th Anniversary in 1985.
Original Scout knife produced by New York Knife Co. until 1931.
Diamond Jubilee edition bears the same New York Knife Co. USA
tang stamp.
I likee.

Nice one there Wosey ,

Here's a couple that greeted me when i got back from sea this trip.

Schrade Walden 804 & 863.

Posted: **Fri Jun 01, 2012 9:49 pm**

Love those 863s and that one looks factory fresh.

BTW, do you have Internet access on your ship?

Posted: **Fri Jun 01, 2012 9:59 pm**

Jerry , Intermittent internet via sattelite when the company remembers to pay the subscription .....some ships are better with wireless access from cabins but it's still slow.

Posted: **Sat Jun 02, 2012 4:35 am**

Unreal pics wosey, makes the knife sort of come to life.
Thanks for posting.

AB, I like those ones too.
Good find..

Gary.

I know it's only 2nd grade, but I can't help myself.

It was looking for a new home because the owner didn't want
it anymore.

It's only a SCHRADE U.S.A. 34OT but someone's got take
these orphans in.

He's got his new home here in OZ.

Gary.

Posted: **Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:13 am**

Gary, you come up with some very nice old Schrades. Your newly acquired OT34 is in the condition I like to find them in; solid and all there, but something you can use immediately with no worries about messing it up from a collectors point of view.

Ps WJ, that 75th Anniver. BSA is sweet! Did you buy any of the 100th BSA ANNIVER. models?

Posted: **Sun Jun 03, 2012 3:36 am**

Thank ye gents for the kind comments.
AB, you sure found a pair of beauties.
Now I know where the '83-86 Heritage 8041 comes from.

Gary, know how you feel about taking in the unwanted orphans.
Some of those are definitely among my favorites.
Their bumps and bruises add to their character.
So, you're an admitted 34 addict eh?
Seems I've accumulated more of those than anything else
w/o really trying. I'm not complaining, just noticed a trend.

Here's one you may not have found yet. Looks like a 34
variant to me. Double Eagle #4135 from the Frontier Div.
of Imperial. It's not my latest or a true 'Schrade' but
maybe the modulators will let me have a base on balls
just this once.
