Beautiful 834's!!!

Nice bone, but no sheepfoot blades!

 

[tongueriver]

Sorry, Jeff; here is one with a box cutter for you. The Old Timer papers should not have been in there.

Now you're talkin', Cal, love seein' the bone versions. I have a nice SW 825, but it's Delrin.

Here is another 825 in an exceedingly rare version.

Lovely colored bone on that 293

Glenn, that bone is glowing! Delrin could never be confused with that!

Cal! Incredible viewing of outstanding knives! thank you for sharing - stunning!!!

Glenn, like our friends have already stated- Gorgeous Bone on that knife!

Here's a pattern # I don't see very often...823.

Nice! Propwood Special. Slenderino @ 3 9/16. Same frame as the 825, 895, 899, 897UH, etc., etc. A great size to carry, with rounded bolsters, and that leggy look of a fine woman.

"The Model 8813 was introduced in 1926 by Schrade Cut Co as the Premium Texas Stock Knife and in 1952 the pattern number was shortened to 881. The 881 inked on the blade but not stamped on the back of the tang of the main blade would indicate 1952 production. Also there was a model shown in the “Elusive Schrades” thread said to have been only in the catalogue in 1953-54 and the pics showed the “Schrade Walden NY USA” tang stamp. This one reads “Schrade Walden NY” further encouraging the 1952 hypothesis."
Quoting the donor of this fine old, early Schrade Walden!!

Salesman's ink says 881!!!!

 

[tongueriver]

Yes; that one is early 1950s. And a beauty!

I love little Schrades, but I like big ones as well. Here is a daddy barlow worked over by Herman Williams.
