+1 two great OT's

Thanks guys.

This one arived in the mail today. I like the D'holder and the Lovelss; Schrade knives.

That is a pretty one Ken.

Here are a coupla pre-1960 Schrade Walden trappers. The new contemporary trappers are kinda boring, but very functional useful knives. I think these old ones are kinda purdy.

One of my old tool partners just gave this 153UHgolden spike to one of my sons for hunting.she's faded but ahe'll gut a deer.

Nice one Wosey!
The 14 is one of mt favorite Schrade fixed blade patterns, though they made a lot of exceptional fixed blades.

Great lookin' knife Wosey...

I picked this old beauty up for under 10 bucks...That old bone was just speaking to me and I had to give it a good home! I know she's "well used" to say the least, but it is a Cut Co...and she does still have a solid half stop and good snap both ways with no wobble....and like I said...that bone.....
Anyone have an idea of the model #?

The Schrades R Us site has all the Cutco catalog pages and your barlow will be easy to spot there.

Just took a gander at the catalogs, and the nearest match I can find is in the original 1926 catalog,

L1153
Jack knife, 3 3/8" long, steel lined, long steel bolsters, black inside, glaze finish blade, BoneStag handles

Only thing is the bolster is a little bit different, but it's the closest match I can find.
Regarding the L1153, I know the first 1 is the number of blades, the next two numbers 15 would be the pattern number, and the 3 is a reference to the handle material. However I couldn't find an explanation of what the L represents....
...once again though, not 100% sure it's the right knife, due to the slight bolster difference...

Mike

I came across this Schrade Walden pen knifegreat walk and talk.

Mike, the L stands for "long", as in the long bolsters. The standard 1153 has regular bolsters. With those threads on your bolsters I'd actually consider your knife a barlow, just didn't get the "Schrade" imprint. I've seen a number of them like that, even think I have one or two. I'll hafta go lookin'.

Garddogg that's a beauty!

Here's a few Mike, the top one is a contract knife for Dasco made by Schrade Cut. Co. on the obvious Schrade barlow pattern:

My Mom gave me a knife today that I hear very little of a 89ot with a serrated blade.heres a look.

Thanks for posting those Eric, nice set of barlows there!
Guarddog I like that serrated sheepsfoot on that OT, pretty cool, probably tear through some boxes no problemo.

Mike
