Impressive pile!

Today I landed another hard-to-find Schrade. The 1984 "National Sales Meeting" SC507 in its fancy beaded USA sheath. Even these sheaths are fairly uncommon and since I don't already have one in my collection I'm stoked to get both items.

I already have the 1983 National Sales Meeting LB5 commemorative knife. Together, they will make a fine pair. Note that the company name-change is reflected. "Imperial Knife Assoc. Cos." in 1983 to "Imperial Schrade Corp." in 1984.

I think these are the only two years that Schrade produced "National Sales Meeting" knives. Please let me know if you can think of another I should watch out for.

Here is a cool new find, Craftsman #95068 small Stockman, (3.5" closed). These Craftsman are often overlooked by collectors, but I like them because they were made by either Schrade or Camillus, and are clones of various famous manufacturer's knives. I believe this one was made by Schrade because of it's general serpentine shape, (a Schrade trait), the angle of the closed sheepsfoot blade, and its general look indicate Schrade to me; I consider it a clone of the Buck #303 Cadet, (the early versions were made by Schrade). The identical jigging grooves on the handles, and the identical hafting of the scales like the Cadet are good give aways too as to who made this. Personally what attracted me were the brass bolsters, liners & shield, it makes this knife pop visually, (IMHO). I'm guessing late 60's early 70's for this one. Still sharp, tight & snappy, this one will be an EDC for me I think.

This proves that a global pandemic can't keep a knife collector down!

Nice knife! I think your guess at the age is dead-on. That shield is indicative of the Craftsman "American Eagle" line of knives. The general pattern looks to be what's nicknamed the "Slenderino". Sheepfoot, spey and "Turkish Clip" blades. A common Schrade model @ 3-9/16" being the 897UH "Signature Premium Stock". Here's a big thread on slenderinos: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=54798&start=15

Here's a thread about the "American Eagle" knives: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/cra ... d.1716546/

Schrade generally used the "swindon-key" construction so if you can see the pivot-pins going straight-through the bolsters it's more likely a Camillus-made knife. That would be my best-guess anyway.

The lack of a pivot pin is one of the things that suggested Schrade to me, I knew that early Buck 300's used that system. The Swindon key system was the main reason that Buck moved 300 Series production to Camillus in 1972. Due to their "forever" warranty they were replacing way too many knives due to blade wiggle, (this knife has a bit of wiggle to it), so they went with pivot pins after that. Thanks for the links to those other threads, I'll check them out.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a "find". However, I did find it in my pile of knives. I was consolidating a bunch of junk knives for trash or parts, and came upon this one. It's all "there", not sure why I had it in the discard pile. Steel bolsters and liners, cell covers. PAL Blade, nice old little knife. Took an amazing edge.

Very nice Dave! That Gerber...what year is that? I've got one similar that's got engraving on the bolsters... was curious as to the difference in models.

I've got the engraved one also (see Matching Pairs thread) but I bought them both from second parties and have no idea when either were made. They sure are pretty. ____Dave

Awesome finds everyone!!..Does it count when you find something in your clunkers you missed somehow?… I found this Keen Kutter the other day that I posted on another thread but I figured I post it here also… I still have to clean it up… I also found a nice Camillus last night I didn’t know I had in my clunkers that just needs cleaned and it will be a beautiful knife.. I’ll post it later..I might start another thread for such knives maybe called “diamonds in the rough” or something like that? .I’m fairly new to this website and it got me looking at some of my collectibles I haven’t looked at for a while and found two knives so far I didn’t know I had…
Here’s the Camillus I mentioned in an earlier post, nothing special but still a good EDC I didn’t know I had! Tight and snappy..
