That's a beauty Paul!
Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Here are a couple models I hadn't seen before
Schrade Walden 879 the main clip has been re-profiled but I think it'll clean up pretty good Schrade Walden S294 with black composite scales...found the model # in the Catalog E but haven't had time to try and find out the years of mfg.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Doug, nice knives.
The 879 and 881 are the same aside from the bolsters. 879 is rounded and 881 is squared. The 880 is the same as the 881 but the 880 has a saber ground main blade.KAW wrote:Still yet to figure out what difference is between a 879, 880 & 881.

The SW 880 has a Kon Kav grind with squared bolsters, the SW 881 has a flat grind with squared bolsters....I believe that is what is referred to as the Texas Pattern and the 879 has a flat grind with rat tail bolsters.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I may have a misunderstanding of definitions. To me 'threaded' bolsters imply one (or sometimes more) thin lines cut or stamped into the bolster. 'Rat Tail' I thought meant a wider deeper channel cut or stamped into the bolster. I thought this pic illustrated a rat tail bolster.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
What a surprise I got this weekend!!!
My GF stopped at a yard sale while out & about... found this old Schrade Cutlery Co. Press Button knife and picked it up for me!
Its a keeper (and actually so is she!)
Other than a "fish tail" type in not too good condition, this is my first press button in a shadow pattern.
A previous owner certainly favored one blade over the other but is still in good working order with the blades locking about 4 out 5 times using the buttons. According to the catalog cut this one has "Golden Pearl" celluloid handles...

Those big knives are nice; you could make short work of one of those badass Australian toads.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I gave one of those BB knives away in a little contest in the Schrade forum on BF about 9 years ago. Wonder if it is the same knife ? Could be, but likely there are about 100 others also never used 'out there'. It is a very well made knife and sheath.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Here a is Schrade Cut Co easy open pattern #2013 that I bought to carry. The handles are beautiful classic Schrade jigged bone. Very well made with solid half stops and snaps on both blades. I considered having it made into a single blade example but decided to keep it as is.

You don't post your name, RA, but you certainly do post some nice knives. I can see why you want to carry this one!

The mail brought me this little bit of sunshine today. 896Y, used a little but still pretty good. The celluloid is in nice shape as well but fingers crossed.

My "newest" to me, an 863. I'm a poet and didn't know it.

This thread could do with a bump, from an old cut barlow.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Thanks Cal. The etch reads "beighley hdwe & tool co". I could not find much about them, but they may have been located in pittsburgh PA from what I did find. The knife came to me from PA.tongueriver wrote:A very nice example, Paul. I can't quite make out the etch.
