Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
I was just checking out the tang stamp chart identifier to see when a stamp on an old Schrade was used. The stamp is as follows:
Schrade
Walden
N.Y. U.S.A.
STAINLESS
All charts I checked were like this:
Schrade
Walden
STAINLESS
N.Y.U.S.A
I don't want to be one of those guys who gets hung up on insignificant details but in every stamp chart I looked up, the word STAINLESS is ABOVE the N.Y.U.S.A. But the word STAINLESS on this knife is definitely below the N.Y.U.S.A. So I can't figure out how the stamp chart guys all got it wrong, or is this a fake old Schrade that has been made up and poorly copies the real tang stamp? Makes no sense to me and was wondering if any of the Schrade scholars around here have seen such a stamp or know why it doesn't match the chart. Thanks for any advice any may have. Always appreciate the help.

That's one I never noticed. There are stamp variations that are not on the chart and there are also a few errors. It was put together 20 years ago and as new info surfaces sometimes it conflicts with what we "knew". Also it only covers pocket knives, not fixed blades.

Thanks for the comment, maybe it's just a chart error. But this is definitely a folder, 825, and I figured the chart being that old would have definitely seen this stamp before, but maybe not. I couldn't find one identical to it, just the ones with STAINLESS above the N.Y.U.S.A. Just seemed weird that it would be reversed to me. I have never looked up a Schrade knife before that had a stamp different from those in the charts. Thanks again.

Added this Schrade Cut Co Grand Daddy Barlow to the collection, big, 5" closed, 9" open. Looks to have had little use.

JohnR, you have one of the best collections of Schrades I have ever seen; truly awesome. You should make a book.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
These Waldens aren't as old as many of the Cutco's shown, but they are fairly unique due to the etch, IMO. I've had mine for years, and thought it was a bit of a unicorn. However, when Roland posted another up for sale, I had to jump on it.
I don't think Ted Williams was the first celebrity to lend his name to brand marketing, but he was certainly well known for it. I have a fly fishing reel with his name on it also.
I'd be curious if anyone else has one of these with this etch.

Don't think I have posted these before. Nice knives glennbad and johnr. Rangerinaz thats a nice grafters knife. I about lost it on your avatar. I know its not politically correct but as someone who started smoking at 9 years old and had open heart at 62 I paid my dues. IT WAS STILL FUNNY.

Just found this “gold” knife with J.N.C. Co. Stamped on the bail. Checked this out and it said made by G. SCHRADE 1940.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Some great knives being posted! I've enjoyed seeing them.
My last two Schrades are both oldies. The first is a Cut Co "M7703T Shackle" with the later Cut Co peach-seed jigging.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Schrade?
Today I landed this very early "E. Weck's Best" etched knife. It's a Cut Co 2213, as listed in the 1926 catalog, but has the earliest style of jigging and the tang stamp has no "& SON" or "& CO". This seems to suggest it was made much earlier. I'm thinking it was likely made in the arched tang-stamp period, or very shortly after, so at least 100 years old.
I like the hammer marks on the handle pins. They're less uniform but more "hand-crafted" looking. I see them as another indicator of age.
