I picked up this grundgy 99P early this month and have been working off and on trying to clean it up. I had to send off for some 40 grit sanding discs for my Dremel tool just to grind down to something shiny. Chunks of rust and black stuff on the inside and the joints were almost seized up. Worst blades I've ever dealt with. I'd need a belt sander to even come close to getting those deep blemishes out. Too much metal to remove. The 'cool' factor and rarity of the 99P made me buy it anyway. Yours is a beauty!

I only found the 99P in catalogs and price lists from 1960 to 1965. I don't have access to 1966 and I didn't find them later. So, 6 or 7 years? My earliest knowledge of this pattern is from the Schrade Cut Co catalog of 1936, #8814. They came in different colors, including yellow.

Your 99P is looking a lot better in the after pics. I've got a soft spot for obliques but man are they tough to find. In the 50's Ulster was making the Primble 5371 and Keen Kutter K323 and their popularity inspired the 99P, which strikes me as backwards somehow. When you line them up and start comparing the knives the Primble and 99 have some differences. The shape and thickness of the springs are different with the Primble being nearly identical to the Ulster 98 and the 99 almost identical to the later Buck 301s.

Here's a group pic. I'm still searching for that Keen Kutter.

Top to bottom: SO8814, Primble 5371, 99P, 99P, 1966 Buck 301, 1967-1971 Buck 301

Thanks for that information and the picture! Great knives!

Hey Man thanks

One of my very favorite knives that enamores me every time I look at it. The red peachseed is very pretty. Build quality and condition is top tier. Just a great 4'' stockman.

That's a winner, alright, Paul. Don't you dare take that out and get it all sweaty and stuff.

Hah, I'm afraid to handle it too much. I don't look at it real often but now I have some decent pictures to look at.

Very nice Paul.

[jxr1197]

Paul's Craftsman sets the high water mark for the thread - wow! The knife, that color - even the pic are all perfect.

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

A couple of Schrade Walden 8OTs (so marked), one in sawcut and one in yella comp.

Fished this Schrade Walden 804 whittler out the bay recently. It is certainly a big old knife. Was this one also called a Mechanic's Knife?

Yes, in the catalogs it was called mechanics knife.

Thanks Paul, I thought I had read that somewhere.

All good ones! That yellow muskrat is a Camillus.

[tnorton]

I THINK I'VE BEEN HAD,

VERY DIFFERENT - I THINK SCHRADE BLADE AND SHEILD BEEN PUT ON CAMILLUS MUSKRAT

[tnorton]

OR DID CAMILLUS MAKE FOR SCHRADE ?

[tongueriver]

Yes, Camillus DID make them for Schrade. A few patterns actually, but I think it was between the two bankruptcies, Schrade's and certainly before the Camillus bankruptcy. I am just not sure. They are every equal of anything coming out of the Schrade buildings. By the last decade of Schrade, Camillus and Imperial were just as much a part of the 'Schrade' output as Schrade itself. I think.

[tnorton]

I got to looking and I have a 293Y that is similar and bet is Camillus as well

BUT NOT 4"

[KnifeSlinger#81]

I got this one earlier in the week. Nice original, clean and minty 1950's 881, with factory edges. Match striker pull with peachseed bone is not a real common combination on these. I am liking this one a lot.

(Edited to add better pictures)

[tnorton]

I LIKE THAT 881 - VERY NICE
