Elusive Schrades

[Campbellclanman]

Probably not all that exclusive by any means, but these earlish Matchstrike Pull 8ot's are darned hard to find- especially in Mint condition such as this Carbon Steel beauty....

Nice Schrade, Duncan! I have an 8OT with matchstrike and cut swedge in front of the pull, looks like Camillus' work.

I think Schrade is my second best brand

Sadly it's not so easy to find in France

Picke up a pretty nice Schrade Walden 804 split spring whittler, really nice color to the bone.

I know next to nothing about Schrades so I'm not sure how rare or elusive this pattern is, but I picked up this nice 294 last week. I thought it had a cool blade combo but I couldn't find a whole lot of info online about it. Anybody know any more about this pattern or about how old it is? Jigged delrin so I'm guessing late 60's at the earliest? The knife is in pretty good condition apart from some scratches. I'm really impressed with the build quality, it has excellent action and F&F.

They started with the Delrin about 1962, and they quit making that open-stock pattern sometime in 1965. I like your knife.

9561. Not many made. 1967 only (I think), to be sold with the 9555 sawblade scout probably (also a very nice catch)

Cal nice find! That modified screwdriver could also be found in the Holub electrician's knife (249) made by Imperial Schrade at the time. Seldom seen blade for sure.

I happened upon this one recently. A 1950’s 293 with beautiful bone. Pretty good shape other than the spey, which looks like someone took it to a grinder and stopped after they hogged off a bunch of steel from the front of the blade. The original finish is intact and doesn’t appear to have been messed with.

VERY nice viewing on this page - well.... on every page of this Thread actually!

I think the condition makes this one "elusive".

This CUT. CO. pen knife is my first venture into older knives. It's not in pristine condition by any means, but it' still solid, and after flushing it and working the blades a little, it has better snap than a lot of my new GECs. I don't know a date, other than 1917 - 1946, although I would guess earlier in that time frame due to the style of jigging. I've looked at a few old catalogs I found online but haven't located this version with no bolsters, so I don't know a model number either. It's 3 3/8" long. I think it's interesting that the covers are different colors. I wonder if they started out the same color and changed over time.
