Elusive Schrades

[waynorth]

Fes sent me Red Stag, Duncan. And a knifemaker named Caleb put it on a #48 pattern for me.
Maybe Fes will come back when he retires??

That's factory Sambar on those Schrades, Duncan!!

Early Schrade stags, like hens teeth..........Almost. Nice going Charlie.

Sorry Charlie-my mistake for not making myself clear - - I was wondering if that piece of Stag shown with those Stunning Schrades was some of Fes’s.

 

[waynorth]

Oh! Gotcha. Fes's Stag has a reddish color, and a finer grain, Duncan.
A slight thread tangent brings you Gen-yoo-wine
New Zealand Red Stag!!!

I’m not sure how elusive they are but today’s mail call finished up the trio of Bison I have been trying to get.

Wonderful Stags, Eric, Blue blades or not!!

Nice Stockman group, 315!

Thanks Charlie!
Nice bisons 315, gotta give credit to old Jim Parker for convincing Schrade to use some actual bone handles once again, it had been mostly delrin for some years prior. I believe a lot of that bone came from Boker in Germany.

Here's a recent addition:

One of the best switches I've seen Eric. Super nice, I love those cut co swedges.

Eric that's very interesting about Schrade obtaining that Bone from Boker, Jim Parker has got a few very nice knives out there- me in the past have sold some nice Bone handled ones- duh!
Lovely Hunters Pride!

 

[ea42]

Thanks guys! Luckily I had the same model in a bit more used condition, so I was able to trade up so to speak. Otherwise I don't think I could have afforded it

Here's another you don't see very often, made for Shapleigh by Schrade Cut. Co:

While not as epic as most posted here,it was an elusive knife for me. My best friend has one, first time I seen his was around 1997. I've had my eye out for one ever since, only found this one a few weeks ago. Someone used Chicago screws and glue to repair the sheath, which I don't mind at all.

Further on the segue , I try to hang on to any Schrade Stags I find!!
They don't appear too often!!

Here's a serpentine pruner, really would be nice if it was warm enough to use something like this. Supposed to be near zero almost every night next week!
