My latest Schrade

[tongueriver]

Those 80s came in both Staglon, and, in very limited quantities, jigged bone. I sold my bone version to a dearly now-departed member (RIP, Rich). I also have another one pimped out by Herman Williams. And Schrade CutCo made several versions, including switches and fish knives.

The Statue of Liberty knives had particularly nice jigged bone on them. Being a stainless fan, I have the 124UH, pocket sized and slipjoint.

Compared to the BIG Boy.

Yes sir!!!
Thanks for showing that comparison B.M.!!

I just LOVE the size of those 124UH knives (and the other small hunters!!!!!)

I cannot recall seeing a Schrade Daddy Barlow before. Are they rare or is it my mind forgetting things i used to know ?

Those "fisherman's pride" knives sure look like they would do the job!

KNICE knives!!

Some beautiful work!!

[Meridian_Mike]

Well.... I threw out an offer on this one and the seller took it...

It looks like it is barely used (If at all) and when I zoomed the blade, it looks like an ANNIVERSARY knife. (A little blade etch left)

It is a "4 pin" knife so it is an early issue.

Looks like it sat in the sun for a while...OR SOMETHING....?????

STILL, not a bad knife.

[Meridian_Mike]

Looks like maybe..... 75TH ANNIVERSARY.....????

[tongueriver]

I watched that one, Mike and thought "Someone will get a good one." Good for you.

Thanks Cal....
I figure it will clean up nice. I am going to leave the blade "as is" and try to get some color back into the covers.

scrubby scrubby steel wool and mineral oil? WD-40? How do you do it?

I have found that sometimes, you can just give those bleached out covers a good drink of oil (I use the THIN 3-in-one oil). I rub it in with my fingers and let it sit for a few days.
I guess the sun dries out that delrin and makes it white. I usually try that before I start any real scrubbing.

Picked up one of these. Never really thought about getting one, But I've always thought they had good looking bone handles. A Schrade Statue of Liberty Commem, I think were produced as a SFO for JC Penny. It did come with the display box, papers and cover, but the clear plastic cover is yellowed really bad. Knife is in great shape, It is the version with the black etched blade, silver shield and bone handles.

That is a SWEET one Smitty!

I like that knife pattern and I really (like you) love the color and pattern of the bone they used.

VERY nice addition to your collection!!

tongueriver,
Could you please tell me how the pattern on the pile side of the blade was achieved in pic #3?
That knife is certainly an eye catcher!

Appreciate it Mike. Yep....the bone was what influenced me also.

Nice one indeed!!

[Meridian_Mike]

I like those 225OTs also....

Here is a shot of mine with a couple of the tougher OTs to find.
My 98OT, My 123OT and my 225OT....
(That saw blade is a KILLER!!)
