"Old Knives"

Another 804, with the SCHRADE WALDEN on the shield. Not sure if that helps date it, but it looks like Delrin to me, so after '61.

Jeff, yet another superb example from your expansive Collection my friend! In fact everyone has supplied gorgeous examples for us to feast our eyes on!

Wow- P & G. I always enjoy your posts, and that lovely 1865 line Harness Jack Knife from Henry Sears is why - love it Gorgeous Bone, I have one somewhere.... looking. looking........

Aha! found it, I was wondering if your example had the same Bone.
Nice to see the differences in the two Knives from Nail Nick to Long Pull! :) :thumbsup: I love that long Nail Pull on yours as well P & G!

Thanks Duncan, and wow that is a nice one you have, very pristine. There are a lot of similarities to mine, slightly different shield, and different pulls as you mentioned. I like a long pull on a knife. I thought it interesting on mine the nail nick is nice and long and they put a straight match strike pull on the punch on mine.

What a beauty, Duncan!!
 
Thank you P & G and Charlie,
Looking at P&G's - man I really like that Nail nick- it's so long and would act as a Long pull anyway!

Is this an indication of Era? That styling of Nail Nick on P& G's lovely HJ ?

I think i have only a couple of pages of Henry Sears Catalog pages from memory- I could be very wrong on this and need to dig, but if anyone had some Catalogs from Henry Sears that could nail the year - ok that was a very poor attempt at a pun there, but it would be very interesting to try and find either of these HJ's in a H.Sears page somewhere.

Edit:
I had a look through on line, found a few H.Sears Catalogs, more earlier years, in the 1880's which featured more Long Pulls, as Charlie mentioned the Utica Punch, and Sears 1865 line was apparently imported or outsourced, there's a lot in Goins about the H.Sears - I know very little about this company and have visited Goins a lot every time H.Sears comes up, one would think a little may have been retained 🤣

Beautiful 804 Jeff!! P & G and Duncan outstanding HJs!!

Here is a Schrade Cut utility/camp knife I recently acquired! Thanks to my good friend Mike (galvanic 1882) who found it and then offered it to me!! It is in unused, never carried, factory edges never sharpened post production. I would say it is mid to late 1930s produced. Has anyone seen one like it with a shield Camp Knife and this blade etch? I carefully examined all the Schrade catalogs and the various web sites including BF but could not find one like it. If you have any ideas or have seen one like it or even just one with this shield ”Camp King” please respond. Thank you very much!!

Lloyd, I am sorry to give you this news my friend, the Knife is just all wrong, send it to me, and I will see to it that your great name wont be tarnished!!


🤣

Lloyd!!! WOW! I bet you couldnt wait for the arrival of THAT one! Thats outstanding my friend. I haven't seen that etch before, I have a few Schrade Scouts, and will check their Shields - don't hold your breath though.

I can't get over that Knife, what a brilliant pick up!
 
He I was wondering g if I could have someone get in contact with me about a knife I got. I can't post pictures here from my phone but I could messege you on another platform I'd just like to know if its real and a better history on it its a George Wolstenholm ixl bowie from the Civil War or its victorian or its not and id like to try and figure it out

Wonderful condition, Lloyd!! I will look for the markings; etches, shields etc!!!
Maybe not fully cataloged, or an SFO??? Some "outfitters" bought specially-marked Schrades!!!

Well, in another month when you get caught up to this reply :p , just wanted to say welcome in and glad you are enjoying the old knives info and images. I share a lot of your same sentiments regarding all the beautiful and historic old cutlery brands and patterns from 60-120 years ago. Something about them just can't be replicated.

Thank you, Sir. Am all caught up to the present day of this thread. And WOW, it just kept getting better and better.

I’ve been dipping my toes into purchasing a few older knives in decent shape - nothing like the beauties posted here, but still very nice knives to me. Will post a few after the holiday weekend!

I did get this Camillus Sta Sharp and posted it in the Sears thread already.
