All About Pocket Knives

Am I correct? This is '46-'76? The one in the list has the Stainless below the Walden and above the N.Y. U.S.A.

No help?

Jerry all I know is Schrade could have put the stainless stamp anywhere.Some on the back of the main blade,some on all the blades.Dale might know more.

It is legit. Yes, STAINLESS they slapped on dang near anywhere over the years.

Thanks fellas. So '46-'73 it is. The knife is supposed to be here today. I'll get pictures posted as soon as I can. In the meantime, here's one of the sellers pictures.

BTW, anyone have a shackle that would fit this old feller?

Jerry, the tang stamp on the S-W Riggers knife you bought is identical to the one I bought last week - in fact they appear to be twins. OH

Yes, but does your have the Ted Williams etch on the blade??







Seriously though, nice pickup Jerry! Sorry, don't have any spare shackles for that. Incidentally, this version I own didn't have a lock at all...




Let's see those pics when you get it in... (and nice one also, OH)

Those are interesting knives. Here is one which is maybe sorta kinda related.

Oh, lordy, lordy fellas. Please don't tell me that marlin spike locks. I was so hoping the knife is a yachtsman and not a riggers knife. I should have known though, when I saw the mount for the shackle.

Glenn or Colonel -- What's the chances of getting dimensions on yours? I suppose I can make a replacement. It just won't have the "Press Down" stamped on it.


Cal -- Isn't that a Loom Fixer (also called a Half Hawk)?

Jerry, I'll measure it for you tonight (at doctor now, NRA meeting after supper, should be home by 2100). OH

Jerry, The overall length of the look is 1-3/16", interior width at pin is 1/8", interior width at loop end is 3/16", width of flat side is 5/32" for most of the distance, but widens to 5/16" at pinned end.

Jerry, check your knife once you receive it - mine is so worn that you don't have to press down to unlock - it will unlock without the lever. OH

Thanks for the measurements Colonel.

The marlin spike on this one doesn't even have a "latch" on it. It's more like the spike on a yachtsman. The tang on the spike also looks bent and it has an 1/8" of play side to side. It's easy to see in the second picture. Blade is good except for a couple of bug bites in the cutting edge.

It is the same pattern as the CASE loom fixer. Here is an interesting read: http://library.uml.edu/clh/OH/MWOL/Cote.pdf
