All About Pocket Knives

This is my set Gary, there is a lot of nice Schrades down here in AUS.
Have you seen the Schrade-Loveless selling on eBay? I think it only has a short time to go.
I fell they are a must have knife to have in a Schrade Collection...

You would like these Schrade made John Primbel knives, made about 1970-73
The 8OTY is my latest find, I have been looking for one for a long time.
All I need to find now is a red bone 8OT, I think I may never find one. If I do the cost will be too high for me.

I do not have any of those yellow B/eye knives... Ken

Could be posting this in the wrong place, is this made by Schrade.
Tang stamp says, FRONTIER (curved) over powderhorn on the mark side,
4134 over IMPERIAL over U.S.A.
Any help gratefully accepted.


Gary.

Nice set Ken, You have a lot of nice knives.
I just won a set of Tradesman series. Farmer,Miner,Rancher,Fisherman,Lumberman.
Have already got the set (except the Lumberman) in odd serial #'s,
but now have a complete set.Will post pic's when they arrive.
Been mostly concentrating on the 34 Pattern for the last 12months, got a few 8OT's
but not wrapped in them or fixed blades.
Keep posting some more of your's,I don't get tired of looking.

Grant, Dont tell me that collector near Dubbo has been on eBay again.

Received these in the mail today. The small knife is 12UH.The large one is a Schrade+USA LTD

Here is a girlyman @ 3 5/16 inches closed, genuine red bone, charmingly stained and ready to go into my pocket once I hone it. Smaller than my usual but so cute I just cannot resist. Is it considered gauche to carry more than 3 pocket knives at once?

Hi tongueriver,
That is a nice knife, one of the best Schrades I have seen! - I think, It came from a set like this.

Hi all, Been waiting for these to come, have been anxious to say
the least.
Schrade Tradesman Series.

Gary.

Gary,

Schrade actually made three different sets of those Tradesman Knives! Red Bone, Green Bone and Brown Bone, gives you something else to seek out....LOL

I am fortunate enough to have all three sets as well as a partial green bone set as well. Great knives and glad to see you were able to snag a set.

Tom

here is my latest schrade i dont remember if i posted it or not but anyway here it is

My trip across country ate into my knife budget and the time I had to look for them, but I did find this one Sunday at the flea market after I got back from Florida.
The master blade is a bit short, it has about 10% snap & the shield is missing but the bone appears intact and the secondary blades have good snap.
Because it has pins through the bolsters, I would surmise it was made before about 1963.

It will make a nice EDC!

Ringerygary, those Tradesman sets are superlative. I think I heard that a lot of the latterday nice stuff like this from Schrade used bone from Germany. I have a greenbone set and a couple odd redbone stockmen from those sets. Very nice!

bigdaddy, that #837 was made from 1953 to 1956. One sold for an obscene price recently, and another for a slightly more reasonable price. No wonder; they are very desirable. Good for you!

Dale, those old bone stockman knives from Schrade are just hard not to love! Hope your trip was good and I hope you got my recent email. Take care, Brother!

Those are some sweet knive Heres an 804 I got from my uncle she was Grandpa's

thanks tongueriver for that info that knife was a surprize from my wife she told me that she gave 40 dollars for it but the price was not inportant to me it was the thought that she surprized me with a knife i really like the shield and the bone handels

Thanks Tom, That'll give me something to chase, didn't know that.
Yeah, I have a partial red bone set, all but the lumberman.
Am very happy with these.

Tongueriver, Thanks, they are nice quality knives.
Got one of the 34's in red bone coming, will post when it arrives.

Gary.

I picked up this little Uncle Henry last week, and someone, somewhere tried to overstamp the Schrade+ line with a double-cross.

i have one with the same stamping and was told it was a second ill try to dig mine up and post a pic of it

More than likely you both have seconds there. Many times they were marked that way so folks would know they were seconds.

The funny thing is, a lot of times a normal person wouldn't be able to even tell that there was an issue causing the knife to be a second.

I can tell you from first hand knowledge, if a Schrade didn't pass Strict quality control, it typically did not leave the factory as a new production knife, however many left with the Tang markings either X'd out or ground off.

My Mom was a Senior Quality Control Inspector for the last twenty years of her employment with Schrade, before she retired!
