Elusive Schrades

Beautiful find Hal. I have the same knife, in not nearly as good condition, but absolutely love using it. Enjoy!

Nice going on the 294 Hal!! Superb bone on that one.

Jay's Knife is a nice example from the fold also.

Roland said it, Hal is the Ebay Maestro!

To phrase it in a "period" way;
Gee, Hal, that'll make a swell carry!! You can take pride in a great, diligent find, and one of the best lookin' knives they ever made!
 
Great pick up Hal and that's a nice one too Jay. I have 2 with bone scales but the blades are pretty worn away. The second one gives me peanut sized blades on a full frame which actually isn't that bad.

Small sharp blade with a larger more controllable handle? I'd bet it "does" work pretty good. ;) Nice knife. :)

Hey guys..I have been thinking about posting this., so here i go..but do you know just how lucky you are to have these lovely knives? I think that these knives shown here are most probably some of the best of production knives in the world...and to be honest that is far from exaggeration, just look at Jakes Stockman ( Cattle knife...Im not too sure as to what the difference is sorry )...that knife is simply stunning, and I am forever working up to owning such a Beautiful knife.
Thank you so much for showing us these great knives.
 
Trand, old Schrades never die - they just fade away. Lots of good steel left in those babies. I have a knifemaker friend out here in the Great White North who has a display case full of - well, I can only describe them as toothpicks. They are slivers of steel attached to nice old jigged bone handles.:D

Great stockman, Jake! One of Schrade's most impressive and useful knives.

Mike that Cattle knife is in fine shape, one of my top 5 or so favorite patterns'

Duncan, The Cattle knife, like Mike's, is the older pattern. Almost always cigar shaped, and equal ended.

The Stockman knife is a later evolution, with an often similar array of blades, but in a serpentine, or sowbelly, or other handle pattern.
 
Handy, colorful Jack, Jim. And delrin is more reliable than celluloid.
 
From 4000km away, by the service that neither rain, nor sleet nor snow can stop (just the economy!), an elusive Schrade has arrived. I've been looking for one for about ten years, and have never seen a one! A simple knife, without further ado;

A lot of companies made several versions of the simple, inexpensive Barlow. It seems they made many with Spear and Clip blades, several with Sheepfoot blades, some with one-armed Man ("Razor" style), but hardly any with Spey Blades.
Suspicious, as one should be when a rare knife turns up, I went over it with a fine tooth comb, including a couple of passes under my microscope. I believe it to be the real deal. Worn, but pretty full and still nice and snappy, I am as ecstatic as an old Fart can be!!
 
I cant say I have ever seen a barlow with just a spey blade. Really beautiful!
