"Old Knives"

Thank you for the kind comments everyone on the stainless - doesnt quite get close to those stunning EO's above though ^^ :)


Real nice Stainless Augie, I was wondering when Schrade first used Stainless- and it's great putting it out there for discussion.

That EO is gorgeous, and the Jumbo is something else- LOVE that blade Grind.

Now as Oldy said, interpretations of Bone can vary - especially when a jig style is very much in the middle of - say like for instance this case between Schrades first - their Pic Bone, and then they went to their first "Peach Seed" type of Jig Work, Charlie from memory called it "Divot" which was the predecessor to the Peach Seed Bone we know.

Augie - pure discussion here my friend- I wouldn't have called that Bone Pic Bone - but more the "Divot" - as well that lovely EO has that beautiful wave going through it - just stunning. Hey...this is only my interpretation my friend, yours seems a stunning Hybrid of the two:eek:

Two types here, Schrade Cut Co's one showing earlier curved stamp with the Pic Bone ( Top of photo)
The bottom Knife I would call more the "Divot" Jig style Bone..... YET....these are very close to each other

Here is what I call Pic Bone on Schrade Cut Co....

Pile side - the Pic Bone "Pics" get bigger and more grouped.

And of course the Peach Seed as we know it....

Thank you all for the comments on the knives, much appreciated.

Duncan, you are right, I should not have described that bone as pick bone, I think transition bone is a good name for it, you don't see it very often and I thought it was closer to pick bone than anything else.

Here is one Schrade Cut Co I have with pick bone on the pile side and peach seed on the mark, I have 3 Schrade Cut Co's in the collection that have different era bone on each side like this one.

That's interesting. I wonder if it was sent in to Schrade for repairs after the transition. But the blades look too new for that...a salesman's sample if they ever offered different jigging options concurrently? Seems doubtful too, but I'm still on my first coffee this morning and a little foggy. At any rate, I think the knife is really cool, sporting two styles.

Thank you Rachel. No idea why it has different covers, there has been a lot of speculation as to why, salesman sample is one, factory repair, bad day at the workbench, etc. At first I thought it was a one off but I have three Schrade Cuts with mismatched covers and have seen pictures of another one. Here are the other 2.

Augie Augie i was thinking with the blades being immaculate that it might of had work,that is until you showed 3 more.the salesman sample makes sense as well.
