I recently restored this Schrade Walden 906 pattern multi-blade with the the help of orvet (Dale) who donated and sent me the master blade for the knife. The original blade was broken and snapped off at the tang. Since Dale was kind enough to send me this blade I think it is only fitting to offer the restored knife as an AAPK fundraiser.
This 906 pattern is a rather hard to find Schrade Walden knife. A current and completed eBay search shows no examples of the knife. It might be a good while before you see another example offered for sale.
The repair is done in kind as the blade is correct for the knife. The blade that Dale sent to me had a rough glaze finish. I finished the pile side of the master with a finer glaze and the front, marked side is mirror polished. All blades snap open and closed. There is some slight wobble to the
master blade and can opener. All other blades are tight. The handles are slightly shrunk but there are no cracks or separations in the handles. The small clip blade has been re-profiled. With the exception of the new master blade and head end pivot pin and rivets all else is original.
Here is a link that gives a more detailed look at the repair. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=53379&p=588512&hil ... 06#p588512
Auction ends at 10:00 PM PST Sunday night, August 27th. Knife will be shipped to the winning bidder as soon as payment is received.
I would request Bryan, an Admin, or Moderator move this to the most visible location so more exposure is implemented if possible.
