I just have to acknowledge Delander's most generous help with my beginning Schrade folders collection. Thanks to him, my collection almost tripled in size today! :thumbup:

Check out the two photos below.
Yup, those two knives in the upper left of photo #2 are indeed limited editions!

Thanks again, Del!

John,
You failed to mention that you did a huge favour for me!

No problemo, Del!

Now, I wonder if the other Schrade pros can ID all of these knives, just by those mediocre photos?

Pocketknife,
Let me guess....left to right, top to bottom....
TOP
1-5UH but in a special edition, can't tell, is it Ducks Unltd.?
2-limited edition oak handle of the 34OT
3-34OT Middleman Stockman
4-33OT Middleman Jack
5-12UH Roadie
6-72OT Peanut
7-18OT Mighty Mite

Bottom
8-LB7
9-18OT Mighty Mite
10- LB5
11-I can't tell if it has two or three blades. If it has 2 blades it is a 833UH Prairie Jack.....I think that is what it is, but if it has 3 blades it is probably a 807UH J.R.

Well, how did I do? I did it without pulling the knives out of my collection to look at them.

9 out of 11, Orvet! Very good! Especially for not looking at your collection!
#6 is a 12OT, and #11 is an 897UH.

Hmmmm, I wonder what's next for me?!

I should have gotten them.
I am gonna have to bone up on my Schrades!
That is a nice start to your collection. Do you like fixed blades? They can be addicting......just ask Codger. You can find a H-15 pretty reasonable on ebay and it is a nice fist full of leather and carbon steel, (I think most were carbon, at least I haven't seen a stainless one......but that don't mean nothin').

I like the 834UH and the 897UH, the 897 is like the 61OT which is my favorite because it has carbon steel blades. Some times you can find a reasonable user on ebay, but the new ones get a nice price.

Orvet, ya, I'm really happy with all these knives. For a small collection, I think I've got a pretty good cross-section of sizes and styles and carbon vs. stainless. I like each of them, and can't really pick a favourite yet, but the full hollow-ground blade on the limited edition 5UH is outstanding! Reminds me of a straight razor. It's handles (Staglon?), with the medallion, are very nice, also! Oh ya, it's an IHEA edition.

I like the two lines (Old Timer and Uncle Henry), for each of their qualities. The Old Timer brown and tan saw-cut Delrin handles have a tough, user look, but those Uncle Henry's look classy! Both are great!

Yes, I do like fixed blades. I need more! I have a very small collection of them:

only one Schrade; the green handled 142OT (well-used, but in great shape)
a couple of Finnish puukkos (sp.?); one monster, and one tiny
a WWII Cattaraugus Q225
a cheap PFD knife
some fish filleting knives, and some oyster knives, all well used
a decent collection of kitchen knives
an antique sword cane (okay, not exactly a "knife", but it is a "fixed blade", and very cool!)

Thanks very much for the tips on the 61OT and the H-15. Will check into those!
