Mike -- Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like bone. Is it?

Yes Jerry...she's a boney beauty.

Perhaps these alternate shots will lend a different perspective...

This thread should have a bump, I think. I very much like the red tinted ''wavy'' jig bone schrade walden used in the later bone years and have seen a number of examples. It's not terribly difficult to find these knives.


I have been fortunate enough to find some very nice examples, in addition to some used ones. For now here's an 881 and 787.

I agree Hal, the 1950s Schrade bone is very beautiful. Too bad they didn't make more of it.
A few years ago I got two or three sets of those bone handles that had not been installed on knives. I put a set on an 8OT with just a single blade last year. When I hafted the knife, I took the bone jigging down farther than Schrade Walden usually did on their knives, simply because I was so amazed at the color of the bone! It's gorgeous stuff!

Thia is how the knife finished out.

I see that this is an older post but man those handles are breathtaking! Some of the prettiest I've ever seen!
Nice work Dale!

Thanks guys.


Here's another one. The bone is a little darker but the red tint is still in there. Crocus finish on the main like the old schrades. The previous two I posted also have the same finish.

RED BONE, Schrade made these Red Bone Sets in the mid 1980's.
In my humble opinion, these knives are some of the best knives I have in my collection... Ken

This 1961 Schrade Saw-cut-bone Old Timer 8OT, took many years to find.

Schrade was thinking of using Blue Bone before they closed down, I love the 2004 Rope-cut bone.
