Well, I tried, but it won't go; says "Too hot, too much humidity."

Now that is a true statement, I wouldn't come here if I wasn't here already :D

It's nice today though, 29 degrees and it just started snowing, but maybe if I lived up there I wouldn't like the cold very much.

It actually is mild here most of the time. I must say I have really enjoyed all my many visits to central and western Texas. Great people (mostly). And Meg and I always enjoy company here.

My family has a history of vacationing to colorado so we have all always loved the mountains, though I've never been there in the winter. I have step grandparents in Evanston WY but I have never been there, as they have been my step grandparents only a few years. The dogs like the mountains too, summers here are tough for those with fur.

Here' an update to a knife I posted back in December. It was a crusty ebay knife that was only described as 'Schrade'. I gambled $10 on it. I thought it was an ebony 2172.

I scraped off some crud and found an arch stamp.

I decided to have it restored and it just appeared in the mailbox today. After cleaning off 100+ years of neglect it turned out to be cocobola, so here is the after pic of my 2171:

I recently added a couple more arches to the pile including an unusual electrician's knife that has and old-style screwdriver and punch but there's no knife. I've been calling it my no-blade Schrade.

The second one is a nice 3-1/4" jack 2264G:

Nice additions Jason! I have a bare head harness jack that I think is like yours. That blade may have been reshaped a bit I’m guessing. Here is mine.

I like that knife! ::tu:: On my knife the pocket blade is nearly the same shape as the screwdriver wire scraper shown in Catalog E.
CatE-Pg7.jpg
I don't think it's been reshaped but I could be wrong. I attributed the different shape to it being a bit older than the image in the catalog. It's blunt on both edges with a just hint of a bevel on the business end and has uniform thickness from edge to edge. The punch is tipped and has a weird abbreviation on the back that I think yours has too? It reads: PAT'D APL'D FOR

I'll add another one here that I might have posted already - sorry if this one's redundant. It's my oldest Schrade - a 3" jack with the company's original tang stamp. Not an arch but at least as old and I think a bit less common.

You may be right Jason. I like the S.C.C Mark. That’s one I do not have. Another nice old Schrade for sure. Here is a pic of my other bone handle curved stamps.

What a great group! Are the tangs on that 2203 also arched stamps? I've got a 2201 with the arched cap stamp but straight line tangs.

Jason, it is an arched stamp. Sorry for the bad pick. I think looking at the two yours is a screwdriver as well but that is strange to see the other punch and no blade. I believe I remember a pattern similar with three blades/tools. It’s possible someone either swapped out the blade for the punch or eliminated the blade and liner. It would be strange if it came from the factory with no blade at all.

I found the variations on it in Catalog E and I'm not sure if that's the right answer. The bone and liner are 'scalloped' for a thumbnail to pluck that punch up and I don't believe that feature would have been there on the patterns you see in the catalog. It's definitely possible at some point along the way the knife was taken apart and the punch put in and the person doing that then cut the bone and liner (*and also fitted it with a period correct punch) but given that the simplest answer is usually right I tend to believe that it's just a weird no-blade Schrade pattern that existed and disappeared before Catalog E went to print. No way to know for sure but I thank you for the detective work ::tu:: .
