All About Pocket Knives

Here's a cut co jack and walden stock with their respective catalog images. I really get a kick out of finding knives I own in old catalogs!

Ya Paul! that is cool! I enjoy that too!

The handles on the Stock knife do not look like bone to me ?

They are, the color is just light on the front side. Here's the back.

Right, i can see it is bone now, and who would put jigged Delrin as a replacement for lovely jigged bone ?
Thanks for posting the back side picture.

Your welcome Roland. Just got this one, walden 881 in red bone. Full blades with good snap and the front side of the bone is beautiful, but unfortunately the back has flaked a bit and is prepared to flake more. Im still glad to have it and the price was good, but may get the back side repaired, it bugs me quite a bit.

I believe that wavy jigging pattern, the red color, and the match-strike pull was one of the last versions of the 881 before they went to Delrin. They took a sample of that jigging to make a mold for some of the first Delrin-handled knives to be marketed. I have an 880 that has that kind of bone. They are very attractive. The first 881s (descendants of the pre-1947 8813s) did not have match-strike pulls. Nice knife.

I have an 881 that looks like that one but is Delrin, with the match striker. Here's a pic.

I think the bone 881 is a very nice example of a hard to find knife. I don't see anything there to get 'bugged' by. Now you need a bone 880 if you do not already have one. They make a nice pair.

Thanks Cal and Roland! Solwarrior that's a nice 881, I love them all

My latest schrade is my grail knife, a cut co 8813. I've been searching for one in excellent shape or better for years and I finally found one, I could not be happier! Excellent f&f and walk and talk, dark peachseed bone, all blades stamped (love that detail) and appears unsharpened to my eye. I noticed the backsprings and blade stock are thicker than my walden and post walden 881's, but the edge is more lean. Like the saying goes, they sure don't make 'em like they use to.

Love them old Schrades

8813, Wow Paul that is a special knife and in very fine condition. And much more real for not being a "Buffed Beauty".
All blades marked means it is not a late Schrade Cut Co but i have no idea of when SCC stopped marking all blades. I think tongueriver might know.
My guess is that it is over 80 years old, which makes condition a 'Wow, Wow', double Wow !

Received this Schrade Walden farmers jack this week, decent shape with the tip of the pruner blade missing. Has an etch still visible, Bartlett manufacturing Co, Detroit Mich, they were a manufacturer and supplier of arborist tools and equipment.

That's a fabulous knife John, in great shape too. I actually bid on it as well, nice snag!

Very nice, very rare

Got this in yesterday... a Schrade Cut Co advertising knife for A. Louis Rubin.

Hello gentlemen, this is my first post. I've been lurking a few months, enjoying your knives and learning an awful lot from each of you. As I get more familiar with the forum, maybe I'll be able to post some of my own knives. In the meantime I'll just tell you about my most recent find, a Schrade Ducks Unlimited stockman with oak covers and ringed brass bolsters I found in a Cordele, Georgia, pawn shop. I've also found another pawn shop that had numerous older pocket knives obviously from a collection. Over the last two months I have relieved them of several Old Timers and Uncle Henrys for very reasonable prices. When I get the photo posting procedure under control, I will eagerly bore you to tears with my babies. Until then, I'd like to thank y'all for all the knowledge you've unwittingly imparted to me until now.
