Elusive Schrades

[black mamba]

All I have to say, now that my tongue is back in my mouth, is, "I am sooooo jealous!"

 

[euroken]

Not sure if this will be considered an "Elusive" but I've been trying to track down a Schrade with a serrated blade ever since waynorth posted one! This is New old stock but noticed patina under the hardened factory oil.

It was really cool to see Schrade dipping its toes back into the bone handle pool after so many years of just delrin. Nice knives!

Here are a couple more Butter and Molasses models:

In fact it would have been more accurate to put these two ones together because it's the same pattern (whittler)

ea42 , your pair is just great

Here's another angle of this treasure!

That is a real fine knife you found at a fantastic price! To me, pearl is the finest knife-handle material, pinning them a true test of the cutler's skills. Knife screams "Quality!".

New scans of this English Jack!!
I believe the English Jack has undergone a transformation over the years, perhaps serving as a vital backup to unreliable single-shot pistols in centuries gone by! But now serving more genteel, and less essential purposes, it is still nice to see them featuring a lock-back blade for extreme uses if needed, and recalling their storied pasts!!

3 1/8" closed, same as the whittler.

So you're the one buying up those nice Schrades from the site that shall not be named!

Yes sir, it's not an opportunity that comes around often so I pulled the trigger.

Real nice one, John!! Perfect condition to tote around a bit without devaluing it!!
Those 2OTs are in a class by themselves!! Baer was smart to keep that pattern going when he bought Schrade!! Here's one (on the right); with its Schrade Cut Co ancestors (2202 and 2303 3/4)!! Schrade used the term "Washington Bolster" back in the late 1920s!

Thanks Charlie, that's what I thought, I have a mint one but this one will be great to carry sometimes.
