"Old Knives"

[black mamba]

Rob, I thought of Tatoo from the Fantasy Island TV show, "The plane, the plane!"

Only, "The bone, the bone!"

Rockman, what age would you put on first one marked Stainless?
Beautiful knives!

Ed, I'll let one of our Schrade experts give a more accurate answer than I'm capable of, Charlie posted one in the Elusive Schrades thread that was made before the peachseed bone came into use so they were using stainless early on, the Schrade Cut Co stamp was no longer used after 1946.
Thanks for the compliment

Rob!!!
Beautiful handful of knives matey. Showing just how good PeachSeed is in the stunning, different colourations!

The different color variations in peachseed is one of the things that draws me to these Schrades.
Thanks Duncan!

Lovin' that stump!

It makes a nice background.
Thanks Cal!

All beauts Rob !!

Thanks Gus!

Hahaha! Now that was a cheesy show but I remember watching it out of boredom!
Thanks Jeff!

Just joking about the stump, although it really is a nice background. The knives make a rare and stunning statement.

I knew you were kidding around, Cal. Thanks for compliment!

Nothing super rare or fancy, just a fantastic old peechseed serepentine #891 Schrade Walden stockman. Main clip, spey and punch. All blades with perfect clearance between them, near full and solid blades as well. The punch was chipped at the tip and dull so I addressed the tip and dressed the edge.

The covers are perfect and worn smooth with age. This is one of the nicest vintage knives I've ever received build wise. It had a bold rust orange spot visible behind and slightly below the nail nick of the spey. Not sure of exact age (not sure one can accurately date it) guessing it should fall somewhere mid to late 40's/50's? Tang reads,

Stop it!!! that makes me, let's see, early 70's then? you'd never tell because being fat hides wrinkles, so I got that going for me but seriously, thanks Duncan and I'm delaying your knife shipments indefinitely

Love that, my kind of knife!






Had my J Lewis & Sons with me yesterday, it takes a real nice edge and is very snappy.

Thanks also Gus, and there are endless reasons why Campbellclanman Duncan's shipments are held up

I feel a gathering happening, a Witch Hunt so to speak............

I fear if I travel over to the Oregon Show, this may be my fate

Very nice Rob, like your Stainless Steel etched example. I have an earlier one with pick bone and a Stainless etch and another Stainless without etch. The earlier knife has a single S stamp on back tang and the other has SS.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Very nice Cut Co's Augie, two excellent examples of the earlier Schrade bone there, Both Rob's and your examples are just Wow factor!

Just got this knife in the mail today, I have heard that Robeson and/or Boker made knives for this hardware firm: Whitehead & Hoag Co Newark NJ. Really heavy cattle knife with solid nickel silver scales, brass lined. Will oil it knock the rust off and clean inside the letters on the scales and that's about it. Shame about the chip in the punch, it has bluing still on it, doesn't look like a Robeson punch to me so maybe its Boker made knife by deduction.

Edit: I have mistakenly assumed this company was a hardware firm, turns out they were an advertising firm specializing in medals and such from more reasearch

Augie
Beauties there for both Rob and John, as Duncan has duly noted!!
What can I say… wow

I’m quite interested in this find…
and thank you for the showing
