Elusive Schrades

Looks like a nice one Hal. :) It is pretty obvious that somebody tried polishing or cleaning it, but if you use it I'm sure that it will acquire a more natural patina again. ;)

This thread is a blessed joy, allowing me to view knives I will never own.

My thanks to all.

Another Ebay pickup - not the extreme bargain that Hal is famous for, but not bad either.
Rare and wonderful, a Schrade Cut. Co, 3 1/16" Gunstock Jack.

I was thinking the same things Duncan. :eek:
Then I started thinking, and not for the first time, what a shame it is that we no longer have Schrade making these beauties for us.

Oh man, Mack my friend, isn't it a shame, it really is a travesty that BOTH Schrade and Camillus were even allowed to close their doors.
 
Gorgeous knife Waynorth. I've only one vintage Schrade Cut.Co. and the quality of the fit and finish always astonishes me.
Thanks for showing so many of yours.
 
Nice find Charlie. The gunstock pattern with a spear like that, a sweet little knife.

Very nice find there Charlie, finding something like that on ebay seems to be like finding a needle in a haystack.
 
This knife arrived yesterday, for that ubiquitous on-line auction site.
Some of my Schradey friends alerted me to it, and tell me it is a rare bird.
Perhaps they will comment with some details. Thanks in advance Hal, Cal, et.alia!!!
It has had a rough patch, with someone trying to remove rust with an asphalt chewing machine or something!
But it has nice snap, after some oiling, and the stag is tight. It all looks original. This is an example of the smoother stag being placed on the shield side to facilitate shield installation.
Enjoy this Elusive Schrade!
