Two Unusual Schrade Knives
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 4:51 pm
Here are 2 Schrade knives that seem odd to me.
The first is a 3 7/8" Stockman with bone handles marked on front master tang "Schrade/Walden/N.Y. U.S.A." and on the back tang "Stainless". The knife is in poor condition but is interesting in that i have never seen one marked "Stainless". I think it is from early Schrade-Walden time ?
Have you seen one of these or have any ideas as to when it was made ?
The Second knife is more recent, a "Schrade/N.Y. U.S.A./293" with jigged bone handles. Schrade stopped using jigged bone for regular run knives in the early 1960's. Any bone ones after this were special releases and marked as such with blade etch or special shield. This knife is from mid 1970's and has no indication of being an SFO, or of the handles being replacement. There is an "Old Timer" shield but no "OT" after "293".
Have you seen one of these before ? Any comments about how it came to be ?
