All About Pocket Knives

This little guy showed up in my mailbox along with a couple others.

Schrade Walden 835Y - It is in the catalogs from 1957 to 1981. It is old & used like me.
But it still has plenty of life in it and good snap.
One crack at the rear birds eye bolster.

I'm fairly new to knife collecting, and I have recently bought about a dozen pocket knives lately- of various brands.

This one that I got today from an antique store is my 1st Schrade! It's a no. 7703, according to a listing in a 1926 Schrade catalog I saw on-line. It really looks like it has 'been there'!

Enjoy!

Great lookin' Schrades there Dale and John!

Here's one I just got in, bombed by Scott, it's a Schrade Walden, stamped 176 on the back, that has been re-handled in mesquite wood.

GOT IT POSTED IN KNIFE LORE BUT IT BELONGS HERE

NICE LITTLE PRESS BLADE RELEASE TL-29

Very nice WW I era TL-29.
That is one of the nicest I have seen.
Congrats!

I can't seem to find a pic of it on my Photobucket but my RFP knife for a couple days is my two blade Ebony 15

These are my newest additions a Bear head 141 and a mint 12ot

nice knives, gents . got this little stag senator in

nice ern Gregg !!!!!!!

Nice senator Greg!
Good looking bone!

Beautiful knife there Greg, you don't see too many of those smaller ones dressed in stag, nice snag!

Eric

That's a beauty Greg! Looks like it is in great shape.

Thanks, I looked it up in it was in the 1928 supplement cat,

they have it listed as a 9709 gst

with flexible file blade

a surgical lance blade

and a pen and spear blade

not sure as to why the surgical lance is so clean, maybe the polish put on it,
or it was never pulled out. I don't think it would be stainless.

it is in real great shape, has across the room snap!! glad to add it my
Schrade Cut co. collection

I have recently grown fond of these small gentleman knives, with the tip style bolsters

Here are a few we recently picked up for the KEEPER Pile...
Well... Until Dad sneaks them out when I'm not looking.. Gotta watch him like a Hawk. LOL
A speck here and there but Hey.. You can't have everything!

Found this Schrade Walden 863 going cheap and just couldn't lay off it.

Nice knife Jerry. I like the way it came with your name etched on the blade.

Yes, of course. That was a factor in my purchase choice.

I picked this one up in 1982

some of the folks in the chatroom thought ya'll could date this stamp
it came to here as attachment ;hope to get better at this pooter soon
thanks to all; I think its kinda old

I think it is too but that's just an opinion. Sorry I can't help you with verifiable information on the age but I can welcome you to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.

Neat trick with the magnifying glass. I'll have to store that away in the ole brain cage.

TY for the response bamafan or buck on the chat last nite were likewise surprised by the magnifying glass ; old boy scout trick I had in my hat. was my first time to picture a knife so was not prejudiced. they told me to get a camera with the flower thingy on it for the closer work on the knives and it worked out great. hopefully somebody will have an idea about the date; will post another pic of the entire knife including the broken pen blade.
thanks again
