NorthWest Knife Collectors Show

[John A. Larsen]

Last Sunday I went to the NWKC show at the Best Western, next to the Tacoma (WA) dome. One gentleman had a two table display of his Schrade Collection and it was pretty impressive! From his two Officer models to just about any model you could think of. He had what he said was a model that he had never seen or heard of another one. It was an Old Timer Scout knife. Not Boy Scout but that genre, spear point blade, screw driver/bottle opener, can opener, and awl with a bail. It had a "Old Tmer" eschueon on the side and looked to be in mint condityion. has ayone else ever seen one of this model? John

John, can't seem to find a decent picture of the knife I think you mention above.
Please see link below. This is the only Schrade utility knife that I have seen with the Old Timer badge on the side, this particular model had Delrin handles. I've not seen any with bone. So far!

Russell, the one I saw in the glass display case looked like it had saw cut delrin scales. John

Dick, I thought you might be on this forum. Thanks for taking the time to put out your collection, it was very impressive. John

Dick,
I have the same configuration knife, but it's an Ulster with the sawcut delrin handles and the scout shield, rather than the Schrade Walden. I posted about it in this thread. It's not in quite as nice condition as yours. Very nice knives. I haven't seen another Ulster scout with the sawcut delrin handles either.

This is why collecting Schrades is so much fun, there's always an oddball poppin up.

...and, Dick, your collection is outstanding. Thanks for posting it online and travelling with it. I nearly got out my passport just to see the show but Seattle still is about 8 hours from me. Long drive. Maybe someday I'll marvel at your collection efforts in person.

Very nice Schrade Dick! :thumbup:

Do you make it down to the Eugene show in April?
If you do, please look me up. My table has been O-10 for the last couple years. Haven't gotten this year's assignment yet.

Do you have a schedule of shows in Washington?
I have been thinking about coming up that way just to see a show.

I am down in Salem.

Hope to see you in April.
