You are welcome Cal

Thanks for your research, Rockman0.

You are welcome Charlie

It's green in the well, so it must have come from a Girl Scout kit, Rob. It's been passed through a few hands, so, who knows? Thanks for that!!

Schrade made a few knives in collaboration with famous custom makers, much as CASE did/does with the esteemed Mr. Bose. I feel that these latter-day Schrades are worth a look. Here is one from a partnership with Joe Kious.View attachment 1350901 View attachment 1350902

I've got the Joe Kious Reverse Congress. A very well done collaboration!

The Barnetts, although not traditional, are just fabulous! I wanted one of those real bad when the were released, but they eluded me!

Those are as UN-Schrade-like as any knives I've ever seen! Calvin, you are a knife knut!!

As far as I can tell this is a 2003 or there abouts. No mention of Taylor brands on anything, so I pretty confident its a true Schrade. Build quality is exceptional with the only flaw is some minor blade rap on the mark side blade, right where the center pin is. Otherwise its perfect imho. My first muskrat as well Anyone with more info on the "Cigar Box Classics" please feel free to educate me on the finer details

Your knife is authentic. I am sure that there was a stockman based on the 897UH pattern and possibly a trapper. Very nice knives. I believe all have stainless blades.

 

[black mamba]

They are the 897 pattern, I have two of them.

Thanks for the info guys The pawnshop where I got it has another with the box still in the plastic wrapper, if its there next Saturday I may pick it up to have as a non user. Thats a first for me,considering buying an identical knife to have a user AND a safe queen

Picked up this boy scout chow kit at an antique mall. Had a single digit price tag so why not. Snap has pulled out but both pieces are there.

Single digits? Great pickup Rob.

Nice Picnic set, Rob!! rockman0
These are only 3 1/8" long. Is that the same as yours??View attachment 1353901 View attachment 1353902 View attachment 1353903

That is correct. The Boy Scout Chow Kits had red paint on the finger guard and the Girl Scouts were green. They even had a variety of colors on the small hawkbills that they made for SFO's.

Thanks Alan, that's right, mid single digits sometimes we get lucky but usually not in an antique mall. When I went to check out a young lady was at the register and commented on it being a great deal, one of her co-workers chimed in and said he wished he had seen it before me That's a great old hawkbill you have there

Thanks Rob. I've been seriously chasing the wire jacks for a couple of years now. All that's left for me are the different tang stamps and a one off prototype. As far as your price I have one chow kit in an original box from J.C. Penney with a $2 price tag. You did good.

 

[rockman0]

That's an excellent chow kit Alan! To have the box and no loss of red paint is a rare thing I imagine

There was a boxed set on the auction site recently but I've been chasing other stuff so I let it go since I have one. I do have a few duplicates, lol. Some are in better shape than others.

 

[black mamba]

Very impressive, Alan, you've gone after those with a vengeance. What does the new better half think of this obsession?
She's probably into shoes or purses to even things out!

She's been very good. She even tried to keep me from selling. Her purse obsession would allow me to buy all the Bose knives ever made. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration but I don't want to add it up.

 

[rockman0]

Alan I agree with Jeff, that's a very impressive collection

Thanks Jeff and Rob. Until I started "collecting" the wirejacks all I was doing was buying knives. This is more satisfying. black mamba and rockman0

 

[rockman0]

It is more satisfying to have a focus in collecting
