What is Your Latest Old Schrade?

[orvet]

Nice ones guys!

My wife is dragging me off for vacation kicking and screaming..........NOT!
So I will be gone for about a week. I hope to add a few new old Schrades after vacation. We are going up by the Canadian border (Anacortes, WA area......wish I had time to cross over and see Charlie) to visit my best friend in the hospital, then down to the California border (Brookings, OR) to visit family.
Waaaay too much driving, but it should be fun! (I hope)
If I don't find any new old Schrades (or Camillus or any other nice old knives) I do have several nice old ones I got at the OKCA show last month. I will try to get them posted when I get back.

I have had several emails & PM from guys saying they haven't seen me much since the show. (Thanks for thinking about me).
Well..............I have been busy!
Lots of repairs and custom orders, family things and just the usual "life happens" stuff.

I will be back and check in here in a week.
I hope to see you all have gotten a bunch of awesome old Schrades!

Have a nice holiday, Dale.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, pass any antique stores, pawn shops, or small country hardware stores without stopping!!
Nice stockmen, Hal! And a purty UH keith.
Just in today from a friend in "Little Rhodie" (Geography quiz!!),
This Pearl Jack I believe, is a 2156. AAA pearl, a little sharpening, a few specks and small pits, but snappy and half-stoppy as new!!

i have a nice schrade knife..

[coffeecup]

It has no pattern number on the back of the tang. It appears to be typical Delrin, kind of a dark red. No two-tone effect on the sides of the handles. The 36OT was similar, but they placed a sheepsfoot secondary on that pattern. I guess the pattern number is up for grabs. Anyone else got one of these? 3 5/16" medium stock.

Thawk, I've got one, or had one--if I still have it, it is around somewhere. If I swapped it off, my kid brother has it. I'll see if I can find it and look for a number.

Well Charlie, I stopped at most of them…… I did find a few knives.
I stopped at several antique stores, one pawnshop, an actual knife store, and so many hardware stores that I lost count!

Here is my list of knives, though not all are pertinent to this Schrade thread.
At the pawnshop I got 7 asst used Old Timers, a very nice Camillus muskrat and a Queen fixed blade.

At the knife store I got a wire jack, a Western fixed blade & a Weske fixed blade.
Weske Cutlery Co was in Sandusky, OH, c. 1946-1952 as per Goins.

In all the hardware stores I only came away with a Camillus 711Y (Yello-Jaket stockman)…………….but I did find a full floor display of 1960s (I think) Case knives!
I thought I had died and gone to Case heaven, though I was looking for Schrade heaven.
I came back after the owner returned from lunch, to inquire about the Case display, but he wouldn’t name a price….”Not for sale” he said.

In the antique stores I got one Electric Cut Co, Newark NJ, an Excelsior and a 5 blade Craftsman camper; one with a saw blade. The first I have seen with the saw blade.

I am posting pics below of the Craftsman, Electric Cut Co and the wire jack, as they are Schrade related. I will post the others in other threads.

Looks like you did good, Dale!
I've seen that saw type before before . . .wonder where???
That Electric is a nice one; I'm fond of square bolsters.
Nice haul! Are you going to show us the rest??

[Jacknifeben]

I didn't buy the one for the tang stamp.

[Jacknifeben]

Old JACK KNIFE BEN must have been in a hurry for some knives.

[gino]

LOL!!! thats great!!
Nice knife too!

[upnorth]

It looks like there was a time period when Schrade was making JKBs, Keens, D-Es, and Maher & Grosh all with Walden tangstamps, and etched blades for the various contracting companies. It would be interesting to know the history.

My latest e-bay find.Date is self explanatory.Some chips in the blade but I'm gradually working them out.Couple cracks in the scales but nothing serious.Spring and lock work perfectly.Letter opener blade has a weird bend in it that almost looks like it was done at the factory.Price was right:$13.65 which includes shipping.Not a good listing;only 8 views and I was 4 of them.

[Just Plain Dave]

I love those teardrop Jacks! But that one with the MOP scales is to die for!

THANK YOU for posting that one!

I don't have anything Schrade that I haven't posted somewhere on this site.

[Miller Bro's]

Eric,
Nice knife! What is the length of that one?

The one I posted earlier is tiny at 2 1/4" closed

[ea42]

MB, this one's 2 7/8". I had thought at first that they were similar, but once I found it I realized they were totally different patterns. Yours is more geared towards a watch fob. Mighty lucky find there!

Here's the catalog cut for that particular one, 7606 Shackle is the model number for the pearl:
