Oregon Revisited!!

Beautiful display Charlie. The fact that you take on those projects says many good thing about you.
 
Sorry we didn't get to visit longer, we were both busy.

Got about 5 minutes with everyone that I had a chance to see....10 minutes with Tommy Clark and Ed Schempp...that was it.

Congratulations on the awards....I picked up a pearl handled slim trapper from Ruple just like the stag one he had on his table....the man is a superb maker.

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson
 
Nice meeting you too, Steve! Great to put a face to a name!! You oughta show a pic of that Ruple!! It's a beauty!! I scored a Ruple also, which I'll show later.
I was lucky enough to sell a raft of more recent knives, to fuel the "aging" process of my collection. The older the better is my new motto!
Several folks asked me to look out for a few different knives, but I was only successful with these; Remington Peanuts, the bone one Excellent plus to near mint, and the MOTS one used but nice! Whadda ya think, Jim??

A Rem collector told me these are hard to find in good condition, and two show up in the same show - that's Oregon!!
 
I've been looking for a good Schrade Cut Co toothpick for ever it seems. The bone and condition of this one made it hard to maintain a skeptical face while I negotiated!
Not mint, but pleasantly used!

While on the topic of Schrade Cut. Co.s, my usual fear of celluloid was overcome by how nice this little gunstock looks in Tortoise. The handles have a thin whitish backing, giving extra brilliance to the colors. No signs of failure (knock on wood).

Check out the big "leaf" spear blade on this SFO utility, for Abercrombie and Fitch.
I belive the handles are Micarta, with Birdseye rivets.
From a dealer's rolls of 100s of knives!!

Then what do you do when someone walks up to your table, and asks if you will give him $100 for this knife??
Schrade made some later ones for M & G, with just the etch, but this one has the full tang stamp.

More Schrades, both near mint;
A Cut Co junior Cattle at 3 1/8",

And a Walden medium Stockman, at 3 1/2".

It is the derivative of a Schrade Cut Co 8903, Roland, but no number on the knife.
The Open Stock number for a 3 1/2" Premium Stockman is 890.
I don't know for sure what it was called in the Walden time frame.
 
Charlie, it was an 890 under Walden as well. The A&F knife has "fibron" handles, should have milled liners at the backsprings as well. It's actually the Schrade Walden 917 Sportster, didn't make 'em for too many years. What a fantastic sack 'o loot Charlie, It'd take me a year to find a collection like that (If I was lucky!!):thumbup::thumbup:

I did take a few pics. I had the pleasure of having this display nearly across from me. This fellow has only been collecting for 3-4 years, but has a wonderful bunch of blade-in-handle letter openers! He won an award also, and deservedly. Very well labeled, and worldwide representatives of that type of knife.

He wrote an article for KnifeWorld Magazine as well!!

If you've shopped out the Empires and Schrades you can always look for some Wolfies. :D

Sorry I didn't find a good Wolfie!
In this train of thought, Fran; looking for something different, I found this little collection of Remingtons for a very good price.
All patterns I like, Junior Cattleman, Barlow, and what I call a 2-blade Stockman with a single backspring.

I like the Remington serpentine jack? 2 blade stockman! Lovely pattern

The old "what's its name?" controversy rears its scrambled head once again. :rolleyes:
I suppose it's a double-end serpentine Jack, but The Stewart Ritchie Remington book calls it a Stock pen. The "Half" school (half whittler, half trapper) might call it a half-stockman. Seems too big for a "pen". And, it's more like 2/3 of something.:p
I like 2-blade Stockman, as descriptive, implying a spey blade, or a sheepfoot as secondary, but I'm prejudiced and obnoxiously opinionated, so take it with a grain of salt!:D
