Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
I can see why that is a favorite. The patent referral is a mystery to me; do you know what that means? That would be important Schrade info (at least to me) (I would think the punch, but I don't see anything unusual there. Not all patent applications were granted).
Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
James,
Nice Schrades you have there!

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Thought these were the same Knife aside from the tang stamp. When i put them side by side they are a different size. The long pull, Swedge and pins are different also. Not sure if these would be the same pattern #. Looks like 3 3/8 on the straight stamp and 3 1/2 on the arched.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Looking in the 1926 catalog i notice some of the knives pictured have the arched tang stamp like this one. I also see this one has a B designation, I’m assuming it’s for the “black inside” in the discription. Does anyone have an example of this? I have not seen one
Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Well, I just saw this thread. WOW!!
I'm not sure what I have in arched stamps, but I'm going to look. ..... tomorrow ..........

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Jay, the B signified a knife that had brass liners substituted for the standard steel liners for that pattern. Black inside meant that the inside of the spring wasn't polished but rather was left with the dark tempered color. This was usually found on the less costly knives.JAMESC41001 wrote:Looking in the 1926 catalog i notice some of the knives pictured have the arched tang stamp like this one.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
James, very nice knife. It reminds me of the Jack Knife Ben cattle pattern with a punch. I believe both Schrade and Napanoch made knives for Jack Knife Ben.JAMESC41001 wrote:This is one of my favorite knives. All blades snap hard.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Joe, THAT is a cool pattern! Very nice.
Ralph i have heard the term jackknife Ben but did not know exactly what it meant. I️ have the pattern with the punch. Is this what your referring too??

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Jack Knife Ben sold knives in Chicago in the early 1900's related to the Union stockyards. Here is a picture of a cattle knife marked "Jack Knife Ben". I believe this example was made by Napanoch due to the double fluted punch. I think Schrade also made knives for Jack Knife Ben and they look very similar to your Schrade. Unfortunately I don't have a JKB that I think is Schrade made. Is your knife approximately 3 5/8" long?JAMESC41001 wrote:Ralph i have heard the term jackknife Ben but did not know exactly what it meant. I️ have the pattern with the punch.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
I have a fair amount of JKB info that I have on my computer but I can only effectively send it out to 'real' email addresses, because the AAPK system does not like .docx files. Schrade CutCo made them and Schrade Walden even made a few; I have one, an 891 stockman in peachseed bone and with a blade etch.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Ralph, great knife. Looks like Napanoch bone to me. That’s a special knife. Cal from my new found knowledge of jackknife Ben i would guess that was toward the end of their era. Here is one to get back on track. I believe it’s a factory edge with just some light use.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Well so far with the help of this thread and knives I’ve seen elsewhere, I have identified about 20 different patterns with the arched stamp. Can someone tell me if a knife with a clip blade as opposed to a spear constitutes a different pattern? How about the same knife with pinched bolsters?
For some reason i always thought Schrade began with a modest line up and worked their way up to all the offerings we see in the 1926 catalog. Does not appear to be the case. Now that I think about it Walden had been at it for over thirty years before Schrade came around.
Anyway here is my latest addition. Hopefully more members will post some more knives and patterns we have not seen.

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Did anyone see this knife recently auctioned on eBay? It has a distinctive shield. I do believe it is a very early Schrade. I found a NYK co Congress with the same shield in a 1908 catalog. Also a Sperry Alexander Congress that’s been posted here on AAPK

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
I saw that knife on ebay say a week ago. I would have loved to get it but to me the condition of the blades was way down with deep black pitting so I blew it off. Would have been beautiful in good condition. Other than that I don't know anything about it.

The blades did not bother me as much as the cracked bone. I put a bid on it but was not ready to spend as much as it went for

Re: Arched stamp Schrade patterns
Recently this 2172 popped up on ebay with the description of "Schrade" - I took a chance on it
I got a nice surprise when I started wiping the crud off
And a 2201
