All About Pocket Knives

This bartender's knife is the oldest Schrade I have. The tang stamp is
G.SCHRADE
KNIFECO.INC.
BPORTCTUSA
STAINLESS
The picture looks to me like a bunch of Colonials drinking and toasting. I figure they were getting drunk, cussing the British and their taxes, and thinking it might be good fun to dress up like indians and throw a boat load of tea in the harbor.
3" closed The blade is about 1/4" short and the opener will still pop a cap. The scene is the same on the pile side but upside down. .

I just got this Schrade Cut Co from Steve Pfeiffer.
I don't think it has been sharpened.


The handles is cracking but doesn't show the damage typical of celluloid.
I can't wait to get some peach-seed bone on this one!

ORVET, do you know the model number on that red/orange/yellow jack? I have one (sad blades) but havent been able to ID it for my inventory. rtmind/randy

Randy, welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome aboard Randy.
As you probably know Schrade Cut Co rarely put a model number on their knives.
You have to look them up and try and find a catalog listing that matches your knife.

I think it is a 2264AC (asst celluloid) though that knife shows a swedge notch not present on mine.

Here is the Schrade Catalog link to collectors-of-Schrade:

My Schrade 863/Ulster 63 Mystery knife came today. I'm very pleased with it, especially for the price. No tang markings at all.

Very nice Jerry

It is dogg. For a 40-50 year old knife, it's great. It has amazing snap and you can see the condition in the pictures. Pristine? No. Factory? No. Carried, used and sharpened but well taken care of with snap you can hear in the next room. I'm very pleased with it.

Great looking knife, Jerry.
Is that one you would carry?

Absolutely Joe. I think if you look in the dictionary for HOK, you'll see a picture of this knife.

Yes sir .........

Who couldn't love a '72,' by any name? I think I "get" HOK. If so, I am hoping this 804 qualifies. The fact that there is no U.S.A. in the tang stamp, and that all the blades are stamped, indicate that it was mfg sometime between 1947 and (say) 1953. Got this from Barry in the ORIGINAL gift box.

Oh Cal. That's a nice one. I know some folks don't but I love those saber ground blades.

Terrific knife Cal,just terrific. I'd say that one is rarer than the bone ones.

Nice one!

Thanx to all who commented!

That sure is a great etch.

Great looking whittler. Mark me down for a fan of the saber grind.

That's a good looking whittler.

I agree! I'm a huge fan of Schrade and Western big whittlers (they're REAL similar). Yours is a Beeeuty!

I'm another fan of saber ground clips.

I'd likely be more of a Saber grind fan if Grandpaw hadn't sharpened all the good out his 73...
And I'm a flat grind fool!

I'll Play

Gleamed a 175 also
