Does anyone have a carbon steel sheepsfoot blade for a Schrade 804?
It is a whittler pattern with a large clip, a small clip & a sheepfoot blade.
It was also known as a Mechanic or Carpenter’s knife.

Willing to buy or trade for the correct blade.

Thanks,
Dale

I have a box of Schrade blades that have been heat treated but not finish ground,have to get them from work tomorrow and will post pics if interested.

of old schrades.I might could repair 2 or possibly 3 knives with them.If you prefer to hang onto

Thanks Greg for your trouble, but I have one now, thanks to LT.

Do you know if the blades of yours have been heat treated or not?
Just curious as I have some like them.

Thanks again,
Dale

Dale, in my experience the blades were first tempered then ground (being kept cool by water jets) and polished. I took an unground "as stamped" blank and put it in a vice, put some vice grips on the tang and flexed it about 45 deg. and it broke like glass, examining the break with a magnifying glass I found the crystaline structure was quite coarse so I believe most to be tempered. Grind them but keep them cool so you don't foul up the temper.

Thanks Kaleb,
That is sort of what I expected.
Looks like my new wet ginder will come in handy.
