Elusive Schrades

Thanks to Cal was able to add the 2 blade New England Whaler to the collection, kind of neat having a single and 2 blade with the same etch.

Nice pair of Whalers, John!!

This year's GEC obsession started with a mustard patina, passed through a vinegar wash and ended up all covered in mineral oil. It's a mess! Thanks again Charlie for the fine Schrade wannabe. It ain't half-bad!

Curiously the Waynorth knives are even more gorgeous when they are used

I completely agree! That also goes for Elusive Schrade Fixed Blades, like the Florist's knife!!

I posted these some time ago, but they always amaze me when I dig them out!! Every once in a while Schrade would make some Pearl knives! Not just pens, but good-sized
knives!! Notice the old curved stamps on the swell-end Jack!!
The creme de la creme was this Stockman! Such a nice knife!

It's all about the Archies! That jack-knife is outstanding!

Charlie says it's OK to have a used one. This would be a 'grail' knife for me were it to be minty, but I still like this old Soldier as well.

This one is a bit more spiffy, with Barry Wolder's good scans to show it off.

Cal…. As Charlie said
What does “cleaned inside” exactly mean? Was this an extra step in finish, or manufacture??
Would it be possible to see the “full milled back” as well on the M9806?

Cleaned inside means they cleaned the springs up to a fine sanded appearance. Springs are very dark when they come out of heat treat and annealing, almost black. In fact the knives that weren't cleaned inside were described as "black inside". You'll find that description on the less expensive smaller jacks such as some of the 3 3/8" and 3 1/2" models as well as the barlows.

Great pearls guys, WOW!!!

Here is a "milled back" from a Schrade Walden 897UH. The Cut Co milled back may be different.
