Re: Got a new Schrade Scrimshaw`

They are fun to collect. I have the 1995 Great Outdoors set of seven knives in the wooden case and bling if anyone needs it.

Re: German Scout knife - WWII? era? - Please help I.D.

Hi..... Whether authentic or reproduction, it is called a Hitler Youth Knife. There is PLENTY of information on the internet. A tiny tidbit..... The Hitler Youth (Hitler Jugend) was one of the earliest branches of the NSDAP, beginning in 1922, and comprised of boys ages ten to eighteen. Similar to ...

Re: Old Colonial 2 blade nude handle...what year?

I don't know enough to pinpoint it but definitely pre-WWII and probably pre-1930. I like it.

Re: nickel silver or brass

Both metals have been used in knives since at least the late 1800s or before. During wartime or during times of reduced availability one metal might be selected over the other. Knives marketed as being upscale or fancier might be more likely to use nickel silver than brass. The short answer to your ...

Re: This is a Duck-pond - Show your pet Schrade Ducks off here.

To revive an old thread, here is a Schrade SC505 Scrimshaw Stockman that I bought at the Beulah Knife Show this past Spring. I have toted it quite a bit since then. Love it! Here is an SC505 of my dad's, he thinks he bought it mid 1960s. Is there a way to date it to a certain year because of the sc...

Re: Let's Try Again: Schrade LR7

Just a defective stamp. The other one we see in the thousands is a 84OT, which, of course, is really a 34OT. This is my opinion. I have watched the Schrades closely for 17 years and I have never heard of your stamp before. If it looks, smells and tastes like an LB7 I think that is what it is.

Re: Case Corelone

Humans, both individuals and huge corporate entities tend to use words very carelessly; I seriously doubt those knives have actual celluloid covers. There is no reason to do so and many reasons not to do so. Many modern plastics are readily available and can duplicate any colors that the old cellulo...
