I actually picked that one up earlier this week too! It's a big week for FD knives from cities starting with the letter 'N'.edge213 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 8:17 pmPretty cool.
As a retired firefighter I really like these.
I have one similar, but it's Napanoch Fire Dept.

Nice knife Jason. That is one I wish I had. Actually a helpful piece of info with the 1st year of the napanoch FD. Here is a commemorative FD knife from SCHRADE I have.
Re: My latest Schrade
Thanks Jay. Those Franklin Firefighter knives are really nice pieces. I dug into them a bit not all that long ago. A company called PA Bingo ordered 300 in 1992 and then another 300 in 2002. PA Bingo sold 'charitable gaming supplies' and would sell these knives to fire departments that would use them for fundraising by selling raffle tickets to win them.JAMESC41001 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 7:47 pmNice knife Jason.

Re: My latest Schrade
OK....
Here they are:
The large one is a 886 UH and the smaller one is a 898 UH....
The 886 is 3-7/8" long and the 898 is 3-3/8" long.
As I understand, these were made for Schrade by Camillus.
Here is a good look at the tang stamps.....

Re: My latest Schrade
That’s right Mike. There are a few that are not on the list. I had heard some info that camillus was used to fill some of the Sears craftsman orders. I had thought that the 866 and 898 would offer some clues. But they seem to present more questions then answers. Here are pics

James is it just the lighting that makes the blades look like they have very wide edge grinds ?

Re: My latest Schrade
I got this one in today. Been wanting one to add to my Schrade Bunch. It is a Schrade Walden 293Y. Blades do have some scratches & spots, but have great snap and no wobble.

Smitty, great knife. That is a particularly nice example.
KJ, I believe the light is highlighting the actual grinds.

Those were special factory orders. I'm sure I used to know who they were made for, but I can't remember who it was just now.Meridian_Mike wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 9:31 pmYep....

Here is the order card for the 898UH. Down on the bottom right side of the card you can see, C.C.C., (for Camillus Cutlery Company), N.Y.. I have a couple of the 898s and a Moore Maker knife, made by Camillus, that is the same knife with three pins, a thumbnail cutout and yellow covers.
