Elusive Schrades

[Mike Robuck]

Great knives Paul. I've posted this farmer's jack elsewhere but I don't think I've put it in this thread. It's from the collection of Nilo Miori, who was president of Camillus.

Wow; right out of the 'mint'!

Mike that is incredible! What an astounding piece!

That collection was definitely something to behold, I think there were something like 2700 knives in it if I recall correctly.

Thanks guys. Eric, the guy I got it from said 4,000 were in his collection. I think that's getting close to Charlie Campagna levels.

Thanks Mike. That’s as nice an example that can be found. Awesome!

It's about time, Mike!! This thread has been missing that beautiful knife!!
Here's a Rare English Jack in the same mint category I'd say. Hard-to-find Lockback!!

Thanks Paul, I actually hand my hands on an even nice farmer's jack this week, but unfortunately my family still needs to eat. I'll see if I can post a pic of it.

That knife checks all of the boxes and then some Charlie! Grinds, bolsters, etch, bone, shield, etc. etc.

Oh man!! Mike and Charlie!!! Those two Knives are simply outstanding - it would take a monumental Knife to out class either imo.

Mike What a great thing to have - an example of such a stunning example from such a renowned collection.
Charlie- That Forest Champion! like Mike said- it has everything - pure WOW factor!!! whew!

Cal- that knife still can hold it's head up my friend - Gorgeous full blades

Another amazing example. Jigging is so amazing on this one.

890 with (I believe) late 1950s jigging.

Thanks Duncan. I'm not sure anyone here loves knives more than you. Thanks Tim. Another nice one, Cal. Here's another Schrade from Miori's collection:

 

[TheChunk91]

Not many of those around!

 

[tongueriver]

Another beauty! Some real jewels being shown. So good to see; I can almost taste those darlings from Mike Robuck (amongst the others!!!).

 

[Campbellclanman]

Lol
- love reading your comments Cal.
Mike Thank you - I am sure many would argue that with you

Mike another outstanding and pretty rare knife my friend.

Thanks guys. I've had a few of them over the years, but posts in this thread and the Old Knives thread led me to down the Schrade pathway.
