All About Pocket Knives

These are 4" as well, an excellent large slenderino. I foresee many of these and it's ilk in the future.
What looks like an unremarkable 8ot was my grandpa Leroy's knife. It has some wobble and I would have to re tip the sheepsfoot and clip if I were going to use it. I have since cleaned the gunk and rust specks that were on it but left everything else the same. I have many other 4" schrade stocks I can use. This one will be preserved as is since it has meaning.

Just admired all the 4" Schrades in this thread and realized the Schrade that I posted the other day concerning the jimping issue is a 4". This is a well used 861 Schrade Walden that I really enjoy handling, it just has the "feel" of a real knife! Let's call it a 4" HOK. Treefarmer

Those 861s have always been a favorite of mine. Hint: The 69 is the analog in the Camillus line.

That 861 is a good old true schrade. It's the older and better version of the 61ot.

A good 4" packing around knife with nicely colored delrin.

Thanks for the correction Paul.
Cal, glad you liked them.

One of the first 885UH knives. Made about 1973. Ken.

Ken, does your 885 have a UH stamp on the smaller blades?

I have always considered this 885UH, to be a very early knife.
It is a super mint example of an 885UH - No box or paper-work.
Very long nail pull, more snap than an alligator, with black and white scales.
All blades are stamped "Stainless", Main blade is stamped "Schrade N.Y. U.S.A. 885UH"
Brass liners are stamped "69033" and have jimping on the bottom of the liners.

The knife in the lower left-hand corner, is an "886 UH" made by Camillas... Ken.

I just looked at mine. Serial # 08497. Milled liners. Tang stamp on master SCHRADE/WALDEN/N.Y.U.S.A./STAINLESS. Tang stamps on secondaries both say STAINLESS. They do not say UH. Hinged brown box, red insert, two pieces of paperwork.

I have an 885 with UH stamped on the small blades. I have seen few others like it. Serial #E6127.

Not my pictures but this is my knife.

I have just looked for the first time, at two 885s in Brown Boxes with all the paper-work.
The one like your knife [A8819] has both blades stamped "UH" and came in a Red lined box with red paperwork.
Its' main blade is stamped "Schrade N.Y. U.S.A. 885UH"

The other [7880] has no stamping on both small blades. It came in a Blue lined box.
Its' main blade is stamped "Schrade+ U.S.A. 885UH"

I have just found an 897UH [Q3078] Main blade stamped "Schrade N.Y. U.S.A. Stainless 897UH".
This 897 has the milled liners.

Another six 885s in smaller Brown boxers, in white sleves - Look the same as all the 885s I have in the later boxes... Ken

Thanks for the info Ken. My UH stamp has a red lined box as well. It also has smooth nickel silver liners. The older 885UH's, particularly the walden's, are just about my favorite delrin knives.

A walden four incher.

Nice 834 SCHRADE WALDEN ink etched JACK KNIFE BEN. Don’t think the handles are bone, it has to be one of the last knives Jack Knife Ben sold. What would be the estimated year for this knife?

Forgot the picture,!

I posted my wavy bone 881 before (the left one) but now it has a brother. They seem to be happy together.

"They seem to be happy together." No sibling rivalry, but perhaps some forum rivalry. Sweet knives!

Cal, if the day ever comes that I rival your quantity of top notch knives then I will feel like I've done quite well. Thanks.

I missed some pretty ones that got posted to this thread since the last time I looked - great show! Here's an oddball 4 incher I picked up:

Is that the 761 sold this week on ebay?

That's the one . Last month I was following the same knife at a hardware auction in Missouri - but I forgot to bid on it! The winner put it up on ebay as soon as he got his hands on it.

It's not an oddball but you don't see very many. I have only seen two I think, counting yours. It's a nice one for sure.

I have two of them, neither one minty. One is strange; it has Rogers bone. That is a mystery.
