Elusive Schrades

[Prester John]

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!

You mean "shoes AND purses"!

Thank you Duncan.

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

That's a nice collection of wire jacks, Alan!!

waynorth Thanks Charlie

An unusual TL-29, made with a saw included!! The saw has a tip that extends out the end to ease in opening and give better length to the saw!
(A short saw can be boring to use!!). Looks like Walnut handles!?

tongueriver - Maybe they cranked out a few SW Electricians with that saw, in order to get the Craftsman contract, Cal?? They are certainly close in detail - some differences!!

@tongueriver

Someone told me Schrade never wasted any parts!! Or materials!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Charlie that is a great TL!! Just a great Knife and Cal a great follow up!! The number of different Knives through Sears is insane! Didn’t know Craftsman had one like that made for them!

Nice Premier Stockman Cal !!

Nice. I am partial to the pattern anyway, but also those commemoratives are especially nice. That one came three ways, with the bison on white Delrin, with wood, and stag with gold leaf and bison on the blade (the Ranger Edition).

 

[Campbellclanman]

They sent two patterns over to Sears in (I believe) 1967. This is the other one.View attachment 1356227

Mmmmmm, yes, I think that’s my one!

I'm not sure how elusive this one is, but I've never seen a yellow, Heritage, peanut before.

 

[Campbellclanman]

I dont think any of us would walk past that nice Knife Mike!
Sigh!.... I came into the game a little late and mourn the loss of such greats!

That is the second one of those cream handled knives.
The scales are not yellow, they are cream.... Ken.

No...its yellow. It may have been cream at one time, or Schrade may have called it cream, but its yellow now and uniformly so. Its actually more yellow than Case's yellow Delrin.

It must have been in the sun, for a while... Ken.
