Elusive Schrades

As per usual when you show us your Lovely Peach seed's Hal - stunning - love the colouring on this example!
 
someone say Schrade ?? Well one site called them "cheap Plastic Junk" I like my sets, hope you enjoy.knives 039.jpgknives 038.jpglance.jpg well that's all of what is commonly called The Indian Series. Plus The Lance Knife. Not actually part of the original collection, but later associated together. I have enjoyed my 3 sets. This shown and 2 never opened. These all have boxes and all paperwork. Just out for photo.
 
Nice condition peanut Robin!

A Schrade Cut co TL-29. Not a 2042 model I think as it has steel liners opposed to brass on the 2042.

Wonderful collection, Treeshaker! You don't see them often; truly elusive!,
 
Nice knives, Russ, Robin and Steve!
Thank you all, and Tree, for feeding my favorite thread!!
 
This one eluded me from the start of my collecting this pattern. It was the one I was after.I never believed I would be blessed to find an unused ,unpolished or rubbed,original(what there is) finish etched example.

For various reasons :) I post it here before the "Rooster" thread.

When I posted the other well used example like this,I explained how rare this pattern is ( with the rooster comb [bark loosener] and flat blades) .There are no plunge lines on the backsides of the blades,they're flat. Why the shadows of them are there,I haven't figured out yet.The pruner blade is more robust than the standard style of the other Schrade farmers jacks.

I have only seen pictures of 4. Rich Langston has a worn one and the picture of the one in the Schrade factory collection,I am blessed to have the other two.One I posted previously.

This one is unused, an etched Peter Henderson and Co,and with a bar shield,I feel very blessed to have gotten it.I really like this one.

Wow, Lyle! Everything about that knife is amazing. I especially like the crisp rat-tail work on the bolsters, I am so used to seeing those all worn down smooth.

Stunning example!
 
OMG. I'm pretty sure Lyle has a time machine :D Congrats Lyle, another amazing knife.

Best regards

Robin
 
:eek:Amazing!!:eek:
I thought it was special when I saw it on Ebay, but it is better that I ever thought!
I suspect your "ghostly" plunge lines are real, a thousandth of an inch or two to allow bypass. If you leave flat ground blades near-touching, they will corrode/seize too easily - just my opinion.
Museum-grade example of a rare knife!!
Congrats old buddy!! :thumbup:




Wanna adopt me???:confused: I am house trained, if a little past my sell date!!:p

If you're house trained you're not getting any walks.
