Thanks, Glenn! I've had them since Schrade got sold out!! (R.I.P.)

 

[Gevonovich]

Love those older arched-stamp knives, Glenn!! That one is nicely aged!!
Knives don't have to be minty to be collectible, IMO!!! Or Elusive!!
However, here's a trio of Pen-Pals that haven't been used yet.
One has an unusual set of nippers:

Time machine beauties ! Those were made for Spectre's cat meow.

Picked up a regular Schrade Cut Co to go with an easy open I already had.

 

[TheChunk91]

Great pair!

Love those hefty Tear-drop Jacks!! A couple of nice ones, John!

[glennbad]

Oh boy, those are nice!

 

[paulhilborn]

Boy John, those are nice, I have the very same EO Jack but oddly enough it has three pins like your non EO Jack

Paul, Charlie, Glenn, Paul, thank you all, appreciate the comments.

Paul, I noticed the extra pin also, wonder if in some point in production they decided to add another pin to to strengthen the easy open notch, we do see an awful lot of old easy opens that are broken at the notch.

Wow - Augie, two Beefy Jacks my friend that almost - I say almost lol leaves me speechless!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Wow Paul, s-i-m-p-l-y outstanding!
I was shocked when I was going through my knives the other day I knew I had like yours in Mint condition- but also found another all waxed up that is in gorgeous condition! Just stunning Knives!

Phenomenal trapper jack, Paul, looks like it was made yesterday, not 70 years ago!

I almost never use the word "sexy" to describe an inanimate object, but dang that knife is sexy! If it didn't have Schrade Walden on the tang I'd swear it was a top tier custom!

WOW Paul!!!

 

[TheChunk91]

Thanks everyone!

 

[Augie]

Paul, that trapper is stunner, gorgeous knife!

Picked up a Schrade Cut Co 2 blade jack that still has it's bail, looks to be almost unused. These would be considered boys knives. I had the same model already in the collection but without a bail so the knife was offered both ways.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Gorgeous Knives Augie my friend. Just LOOK at the Bone!

Hello all you Schrade specialists.
Hopping that you can shed some light on this one.
Unlike some other Walden 8OTs that I have acquired over the years, I’ve never seen one with fully polished blades and a swedge like this one.
So, what do you think: Age, place of production, polished blades, unusual swedge.....very curious to read your thoughts.
