Here are my newest additions . Just recieved the UH in the mail today, thanks to you on this here schrade forum. I figured I needed a OT brother for my new UH so I sold some stuff and got the OT and came across the scharde-walden 225H this morning at a flea market and just couldn't pass it up. After lightly cleaning the surface rust off and oiling the hinges, it looks pretty good. Now, i'm broke again, got to sell some more stuff in case I come across another nice schrade :D .

 
That folding hunter is a real find.

I recently received a new 14OT:

For such a short blade, it's very heavy, it's made from a thick chunk of steel. It's kind of a strange knife, but I was so taken with it, I just had to have it's Uncle Henry cousin and bought this set:

It's nice to see a young man adopt a knife like that. Like you, it has a lot of life left in it. Enjoy!
 
Ah poor young fellow this is only the beginning of the affliction and you should ( hopefully ) have many years for it to mature into the full disease. I say this to you while seated in a room ( just one of many in a fairly large house ) filled with so many of these manifestations ( of this disease ). that a friend who came over, just recently, remarked that the only place to put any other displays would be to mount them on the ceilings. I am considering that option.

No matter what anyone ever says to you remember you can NEVER have enough knives. You poor soul HA HA HA ( evil laugh ) I have captured another innocent in my SCHRADE web. I have known many and watched them fall they are now disciples and continue to spread the doctrine often catching the young such as your self.

You know this living alone is I fear really affecting my mind. LT

A terrible sickness I have come down with, not a need to find a cure though. Used to i'd just look at the knives in the cases at flea markets, now I look for SCHRADE knives in the cases at flea markets. My fist display is packed to the gills, so there is a need for another case, perhaps a little different layout this time.
 
I think the play station with all 30 games will be heading to the pawn shop this week. I don't play it anymore, that is just schrades in the makin. :eek: :D :p
 
Wouldn't e-bay be a better return to you than the pawn shop?

or, maybe your local buy & sell or bargain finder?

just a thought (more Schrades??)

Pawn shops are great places to BUY things, but not to sell. Say an item sold new for $300, and a pawn shop owner thinks he can sell it for $50, he might give you $10. After all, he has to test, clean, store, display, pay overhead, and buy more gold! Heck, some parent might see it in the local paper and want it for a Christmas present.

One secret to learning to cope with Schradeophelia is to not only buy more Schrades, but to make your money buy the most Schrades it can!

yeah, your right guys, pawn shops have given the minimum since they have opened, perhaps i'll stick it on e-bay or put it in the local trading post, try to get the most I can. And pay the least for a schrade that I have to, I try to watch schrades on schradebay but people pay more than top dollar most of the time. So I scrounge around at yard sales and flea markets to find my schrades, there is also a guy up the road who is retired and all he does now is deal in guns and knives. So I go up there every other week or so ('cuz i'm the only one he knows who looks specifically for schrades) and see what he has got new, and he puts the schrades back for me and shows them to me when I come up. and he always lets me havem for a good price I have never paid over $15 for a schrade from him before. He has a real nice schrade cut.(could be walden I can't remember) stockman with real polished down jigged bone handles but all three blades have been snapped :( . I got a little extra jingle in my pocket today (about $15 or 20). I might stroll on up there and see if he's got anything for me. just ramblin.

I have a cure for whitch there is no disease........ ;)
 
Say muskrat man, do you have a 77OT (Muskrat) yet?
I got my first one the other day and I really like it. I had never owned one before and can't rightfully say if I had ever seen one. Back-in-the-day 50's & 60's as a kid, mostly what I recall were Stockman patterns.

It is nice to see a young person with a sense of quality & tradition.
Keep up the good work!
 
I know the Copenhagen knives have brass bolsters, but how about this 34OT?

This did not come from the "end of days" stock sold since the closing of Schrade, the previous owner bought it directly from Schrade some years ago.
 
That is a neat knife. You can tell it is not from this century because of the base delrin and accent color change. Look at any other long running pattern and you will see what I mean. It isn't just sunfade or wear. The accent is redder, and the base is a lighter tan. They did tweak the plastics now and then, as well as change suppliers, and also plastics themselves evolved. As molding machinery changed, pressures increased, temperatures increased to compensate for faster mold cycles. Plastics have specs just like steel, only with even more variety.
