I always liked that shield; they did not use it much but it did go on a 'scout-type' knife.

Landed a nice 1950's Schrade 294 serpentine jack, looks close to unused with full blades, factory edges. Love the dark brown almost black bone from this era.

Thank you Charlie, about the darkest I've come across, can only see the brown at the edges

Two electrician's knives, marked Schrade Cut Co, but likely made for them by Empire!!
Unlocking the stripper/screwdriver requires pressing the main blade!!

I have a nearly identical knife marked Empire and all three have Empire's fairly exclusive banner shield!!!

Nice little (2 7/8") mid 1950s Schrade Walden stockman in red wavy bone and milled liners. Most were in 1095 but this one has stainless tang stamps.

Nice smaller Schrade, Cal!!!


Speaking of smaller, here is an advertising Pen from pre-WWII !!
Simple embossed scales, I wonder when Schrade adopted the trade mark/slogan "Everlastingly Sharp""????

That one is too cool, Charlie!

Paul provided you with a nice knife!

Schrade named that pattern for several uses; alternately "Whaler, rope knife and florist's knife, among other uses!!
A great, simple Sheepfoot knife!! It has a nice curve in the handle to ease repeated usage!!

Nice ones guys, that pattern must have been in Schrades catalog a long time, 2 more one Cut Co one Walden.

Thank you for the information Charlie. I'm just going to treat the rust, then enjoy it.

Two more great examples of the golden years.

One hander with an interesting swedge.
