Me too It really is beautiful jigged bone, so is that fine specimen you just posted

I just picked up this Schrade Walden 242. Blades look very full, and snap on both is spectacular

Outstanding find Glenn!
Classic pattern.

Picked up a NAHC Schrade trapper nib with papers nice club shield.

Another 8OT.
Got it for reasonble $ and it cleaned up pretty good.

Got this one off ebay a couple of days ago. Should have it in-hand tomorrow. Labeled a No. 2311SD in the 1930 Supplementary page to Catalog "E" (1928)

I have always liked the 4" Schrade knives. My EDU is the same old 881 I have been using since 1973.
My son has used and broken about 4 or 5 Schrade 8OT's, and is now using a Buck 301... KG.

Yeah, love those 4" er's. I have an 881 like new. Don't take it out much
I've got a Buck 301 also and I love it.
Really well built, easy too open and a good looker too.

Early 1970s with ser# on liner and a nice shield.

Nice revere! Did it come with the box? Do you have the other 2 in the set?

This set is not as sexy as some of these knives in bone and such, but I like the subject material and the etches.

This ol Barlow.....

That SURE is a beauty Scott! Great looking knife...if it could only tell the tales. Looks to be in good shape too for the most part!

No box,don't have any of the others. You probably all ready know this but for a bit of history I'll tell you anyway glenbad.
There is actually 8 different commemorative knives that I have found in the same years. And a Service Series set that I'm not sure what is in. Some of the others are ,Will Rogers,Jim Bowie, Buffalo Bill,Custers fight along with the other two you are talking about,The Minuteman and the Liberty Bell.
They also did some very nice commemorative folding hunters for Parker around the same time.

Postman dropped this one off this morning. Schrade/Cut.Co./Walden,N.Y. 3 3/4" closed. c.1936

Here are a couple single-springs that are charming me. The bone-handled example has some wear, but the butter and molasses is as-new except for a coupla speckles. It was pretty dry but it responded well to a coupla drops of QUICK RELEASE.

Nice ones Cal!
It is hard to find a butter & molasses in such nice condition!

Schrade Cut co.

Tim,
That's a fine lookin' old Schrade . Kinda' makes me drool .
Treefarmer

Agree! That Schrade is something awesome!

Nice looking jack Tim!

Thanks fellas!

Here is an odd one. It is shown in the 1926 catalog as 8583, but no trace of it in any Schrade Walden catalog, although SW certainly did make this one. The "U.S.A." in the tang stamp suggests that it was NOT made right after 1946. On the pile side of the master spear blade is tang-stamped 0302. Complete mystery there. There is the remnant of a faint etch ??ADY JR. on the spear blade. It is 3 3/8 inches long and still in tip top condition except for the patina/micropitting. I like it.

I've seen that one before in a Schrade Walden NY USA. I had one once upon a time. The one I had did not have anything stamped on the back tang of the master blade.

When this George Schrade 323 was posted in Knife Lore over a year and a half ago, I knew I had to have one

Cato listed the knife in his store, offered me a great deal and now its in my collection

Thanks Greg!
