"Old Knives"

Love that photo!

Thank you!

The Walden barlow showed up today, really blown away by it. All steel construction, flush and square joints, really nice pick bone covers and a very faint etch that says "Cherokee". Did not see the etch until checked it with a magnifying glass.
Petty sure this barlow is very old, pre 1900.

There have been some very nice Schrade Walden 804 whittlers shown recently. Here is another one, early 1950s, I think, with Fosterene covers (I think).

Nice knife, Cal!! Looks uncarried/unused!!!

Speaking of 804's

I just got this one today. It was listed as Delrin covers on the auction site but it sure looked like bone to me so I took a chance. I got it for a great price. Still had factory edges on it although I've since sharpened it up as I intent to carry it. I was surprised to see that they didn't pin the shield on the 804's even although the liner is drilled for one.

Great walk and talk and nice peachseed bone.

I agree, looks like bone to me too. If that's delrin, it's some of the best looking I have seen.

It's definitely bone

Cal, That's a real sweetheart of a Knife matey- as Charlie said it looks unused!! Fantastic having all the paperwork and Box too!

Steve- What a great gamble- most if the time it's the other way as a Knife being advertised as Bone when it is Delrin- That's lovely Peachseed Bone on that lovely example,

Love all the 804s you guys have found some nice ones.
Here is my sample

Here is an old Empire jack I picked up not long ago with some nice pick bone and an interesting shield.

Great Schrade P&G

Awesome ol' Pick Bone on that gorgeous Empire! Love seeing these beautiful old Jacks!

These two shields were exclusive to Empire for decades!! I call yours (and mine) the "double-bump" shield!!!

Thanks Charlie. You have some fine examples! Double bump is a good name for it.

Some great knives. Love the pick bone P&G. Great examples, Sir Charles.

“Double bump” reminds me of a gal named Chesty LaRue that worked at a place near the county line back in the day…
