Yes, it is a serial number, 469, made in 2002... a bit clearer picture.

Thank you thawk for showing that knife.
For want of a name for you knife; for now,
I am going to use it, into my research into the 2002-2003 Schrade Classics and specials.
Your knife is the key to my research, because it has that 2002 etch on the blade.
Your knife is one of 25 knives I am looking at.
I am waiting for some knives from the U.S. before I start a forum, on these bone handled knives …Ken

Herman Williams has started to do jigged bone, along with his famous red stag. Here is an 881 openstock.

Schrade Cutco 8163 3/4 cattle knife.

Cal, that's a beauty of a cattle knife!!

Herman's really got that peachseed jigging down, doesn't he? I believe he's actually using one of the old Schrade bone cutting fixtures to achieve that. Hopefully he keeps his fingers out of the way!

Any chance of a short (or long!) description of that "fixture?"

I haven't got a clue as to what it looks like. I think Alex at the shop has one as well, I'll have to ask him if he can bring it in so I can snap some pics. Pretty curious myself!

I finally pulled the trigger on a Herman Williams Schrade. Stag 98OT off the bay from, I believe, one of our members here.

And a Prototype or Salesman's Sample from another member's store.

It's hard to believe no one's picked up a new Schrade in over a month. Oh well, I'll break the ice.

Cut and paste from the Mail Call thread (since I'm lazy).
The mail carrier brought this one yesterday. Schrade Silhouette SQ432, it was made to commemorate the Illinois State Police in 2004 and it's serialized with #0177. Seller (Reeds Classic Knives in S. Illinois) said, "Each knife is serialized only 350 produced".

It's a sturdy knife with aluminum handles, bronze blade pivot bushings and a rather sleek shape. The only objection I have to it is, even though it locks up solid, opening and closing the knife has a kind of loosey goosey, tinny feel to it. It's a strange feeling for a knife that's this well built. Maybe I get that feeling because the blade deploys so smoothly.

Jerry, never seen one like that ,

This is from 2010, when I shipped one of those knives to Australia.
A friend then tried to ship 50 of them, (at $8 each) and was stopped by Australian Customs.
Most of these Schrade knives; past under some Collector’s radar.

Jerry,
You can tighten the blade with the pivert bolt, the same knife Taylor had made in China is very poorly made.
I pulled a number of the Schrade and Taylor look-a-like knives down, to see the diferance....

I'v had this set for a wile, and posted on the Gallery...Ken

The prototype appears to be an acid etch done by hand by Frank Giorgianni Sr.
Frank did most of the animal & bird scenes for the Schrade, but he also did acid etches such as on that blade.
Was there any paper that came with it, such as a COA?
It is great to have original work by such a noted artist!


The Herman Williams is excellent, as they always are!
