Elusive Schrades

I thought it was great to see the Rem's slip into the Schrade Thread so quietly, and I thought to myself ......"mmmm I wonder how long it will take for Charlie to see these here, I hope he doesn't take the posts away and leave them here....." and you did so thank you for not deleting those stunning Knives Charlie- as what has already been said- too Nice to touch now my friend.
 
Picked up this nice little unused Schrade recently.

The info above is research material from a competing website (trustworthy)!
Your knife was made for 27 years and had Bone handles!! Many were made with Delrin also, in varying years!! It was called a Balloon whittler by most, but resembled a stockman, more than a whittler, IMO!!!!
Maybe someone will post some!!??
 
Here is an older Schrade Cut Co HJ group; The bottom three have the older style Pick bone, Rattail Bolsters, and arched Stamps! The top one, a premium for an industrial Belting Company, has a slightly later bolster and stamp, but still has the pick bone! Schrade did an excellent job on grinding that punch! They sold a lot of HJs!!HJs picks arches 1.jpgHJs picks arches 2.jpg

They were trying to provide a knife that would cut tough Hawsers (ropes)!

Charlie, tell us more about the one with the fine saw teeth, how does it cut?? And I've got a fixed blade with Wonda-Edge, 1959-'63.

Wow Charlie here I was excited that I picked up one of these, I ought to have known you had a fleet of them. I'll have to get some pictures up of mine when I get a chance.

That is a really nice collection of Schrades Charlie! Here is the Schrade HJ I recently found. It's got the straight line tang stamp with that nice rat tail bolster and pick bone handles.
