Schrade Cut Premium (Texas pattern) stock knife no. 08883 with oblique bolsters. It is 4 inches closed. This knife has seen a lot of use with the peach seed handle high spots worn smooth. However, it has a lot of character, has been well cared for and the mechanics are excellent with great snap and no play on any of the blades when fully deployed. Just a very well made folder exhibiting outstanding Cutlery workmanship. I believe Charlie has a very high grade example. By the way I got this one from him at OKCA show earlier this year. Thanks Charlie!! Happy Thanksgiving EveryoneView attachment 802558 View attachment 802557

Smashing, Llyod !!! Just a fine looking knife indeed. I am carrying a four inch stockman today and now remember how great it is in the hand and to use

@Augie - Here is my Ulster with the stamping "Made in USA"

That's a great and unusual knife, Duncan! Ulster made knives like that on contract for US Military branches through WWII. I don't think they were etched, so that knife was probably diverted to civilian sales in the later 1940s. Looks virtually unused!!:thumbsup:
 
Thank you Charlie.
I looked extremely carefully at this knife and I am confident that the etch is original- under magnification there are no tint scratches that run under the etch - or any signs that it has been applied after manufacturing- unless I am looking past the very big and obvious sign that there should not be an etch on this particular knife- not seeing the trees for the Forest?
 
I'm sure it's original, Duncan. Many knife companies had substantial remaining supplies of knives and parts when military contracts were cancelled. Of course you want to recoup, so you sell them to the public! They are often of plain but high quality.
Knives like yours are milestones in history, IMO, hopefully marking times of peace and prosperity.
 
Thank you Charlie.
I very much like the knife - as you say it has hardly done a days work!

Nice Group of Knives Steve!
 
Steve, wonderful knives, I don't find to many Camillus clips like that let alone that nice:thumbsup:

Duncan, also a wonderful knife, that is a BEAUTY!!! I get the privilege of handling many of your knives so my memory fades a bit. Was that a knife acquired during the rendezvous? I'm thinking so?

Herder, love the knife, love the prop as well?

Here's a wonderful wee pen, a NYKC Hammer Brand with awesome bone covers, coined liners, tipped bolsters and pretty good blades. Not sure of the year but NYKC closed in 1931.
