Off The Wall! (at Schrade)
From the Schrade factory collection, comes this CampKnife (a scout by any other name, still smells as sweet!)
The front handle is faded from exposure, while the back gives us a truer take on the dye job of the times, I believe.

Is the "Wall" collection the same as the "Trachtenburg" collection ?

I think that is something else. The "wall" I refer to is the Schrade Factory collection that was sold when Schrade closed.

What specifically was the small "arrow head" shaped blade meant to be used for?

 

[waynorth]

Gev, that's a can opener. A primitive one, dangerous to the uninitiated!!

Nice "Camp Knife", Charlie! It's a harness jack with two extra tools.

Before I depart this land, I want to see Charlies collection first hand

I too aspire to visit the Waynorth Museum...

Mighty nice Charlie! I third the Waynorth museum visit. :thumbup:

Charlie,

Have you used this style can opener? I have wondered myself how controllable this opener is compared to others, especially the Remington style opener.
Really a nice find! And I echo others when I say I would like to see your collection in its entirety. Someday perhaps!

 

[Gevonovich]

Thanks Charlie. The museums in Canada are spectacular and I only wish I could visit the Waynorth.

I know a guy with a converted school bus, maybe he'll let us borrow it to make the trip!

I was wondering what that blade was for as well. Thanks Charlie.

This came in the mail today. I was afraid it might have delrin handles since they are so richly colored and consistent, but they are bone.
Nothing wrong with delrin, but I was looking for bone.
3 1/2" long, a nice pocketable stockman. The Elusive part is the condition, a couple of specks away from mint! Unfaded, it must have lived in the dark since it was made - I am happy to liberate it!
Nice and snappy, this one is in very good fit and finish. I am trying to stick to the Schrade Cut Cos, but I cannot pass up a nice Schrade Walden like this one!
As always, the nice close-ups of the scratches are on my scanner glass, and not the knife! Sigh . . . . .

That is beautiful Charlie!

 

[waynorth]

Thanks, Doug!
I see by your avatar that you like the serpentine pattern. Is that a three blade also?

(The old double-click strikes again! Please excuse the redundant post!)

Schrade called it a serpentine jack but it is more like a pen knife. It is a 708Y, two blade.

Charlie, thats a honey for sure, and one cannot blame you for not being able to go past this knife, nothing quite beats peachseed Bone that looks like that, could I stick my neck out and say its more attractive than stag at times!
