first one seen

[tongueriver]

I have never seen an 880 with a post-Walden tang stamp. Now I have. I am not bidding.

You tweaked my interest. I have never hunted for one. 880 is listed in both 1974 & 1975 catalogs. Schrade could make a lot of knives in two years of production. When I punched 880 in the search box I quickly found two more available. Am I missing something?

I don't think that you are missing anything. I had read on this forum that so-and-so had never seen one so whenever I saw an ebay listing with an 880 I took note, and I never did see one either with a post-Walden tang stamp. However, I had no interest in the pattern anyway unless it was bone, so I never looked at many of them. For my purposes I think this thread could be closed and sorry if I wasted people's time.

Great, now I'll never get that 1 minute back. Thanks Cal!

C'mon! It's good and informative. It's not a pattern I chase either so I learned something new with just those three posts. Glad ya put it up!

No time wasted. No need for apology! I had forgotten a 880 even existed. I like looking up Schrade stuff and seeing how much of it gets into my long-term memory.

It was my "first one seen" too.

What was I thinking?! Here is one that I got from Hal Brandenburg back in the days when such things were possible. That thar not be plastic.

Sure this wasn’t a Schrade pattern?

[tongueriver]

Hi, Jacknifeben! Not sure you posted where you wanted to, but your knife is an 8833, probably a pre-1946 Schrade.

TR that is a beautiful 880!

[Jacknifeben]

Thanks for the response on the 8833. Jackknife contracted a lot of knives from Schrade but I was told this was not one of those them, only one I have ever seen.
