Good grief Ike!! That is absolutely some of the best bone I've ever seen on a knife. Just fantastic! Great little knife too!!

I certainly appreciate that, thank you. It is a very nice little knife in my opinion, glad you like it too.

Very sweet bones. The color and jigging is great. Like that shield and an equal end pattern too. Great score.

Thanks, Iman, I am a big fan of that type shield.

A FANTASTIC acquisition.

Thank you, Skip!

Very nice, Rancher! Gotta' love a Big Timer!

Rancher, I agree with Kerry ... that is a very nice 51!

I found what may be an oddity with the same knife.
Believe it is a 51OT Big Timer, but the tang is stamped only "Schrade U.S.A.", nothing else. Solid feeling knife ... too bad someone used the spine as a hammer and scarred the blade with a stone. Anyone seen one tang stamped like this?

I have several 51OTs and one of them is tang-stamped like yours (no OT).

Appreciate ithe confirmation Tongueriver ... I had never seen one like this before, and will always remember it in case I see another. Are any other Schrade knives stamped as such?

I have a weak memory that maybe the large stockman 858OT did not have OT in the tang stamp. I don't have mine anymore so I can't be sure.

I thought the same thing, TR. So I went and checked mine, but it had the model number stamp.

Doesn't it say 858 but no OT?

You're right, TR. I'm sorry, I was thinking no model at all like Tony's. I reread your post, and i see now that ours were alike.
I need to start paying attention!

I just got this Schrade Walden bone handled 895 off of evil Bay. I couldn’t resist. Paid less than a $20 bill but I will say it’s more fun to find these for next to nothing at estate and garage sales. The main blade has the smallest nail nick I think I’ve ever seen!

Good catch.

Good one!
Those are excellent knives.

Nice Get - although not a Walden this one is for sell here on the AAPK Schrade Store

Posted this on finds of the day,
For me that’s going down stairs and looking through stuff. A very nice Carpenters Special, except the shrinking handles.
Enjoy another one of LK’s finds
Steve

That's a good one.

Very Nice

Thank you very much my father picked some nice pieces and stuff because he liked it.
Not sure how long ago he bought this. He has been gone since 08 so not sure how much it has the handles have shrunk in the last 17 years.

This is my latest a Schrade Walden NY USA 787 with "Wonda-Edge" Blade - Paid to much but didn't have one so it goes into my collection drawer one in the middle - Clint

That's a nice one, Clint; I watched it go by.

I probably should have as well -
