Post your special stockman/cattle knives!

Here is one that I couldn't find in the old catalogs. It is as close to new as you can get for a 63 plus year old knife, I think. Flawless bone. Same size as an 881. The grinds are elegant.

Calvin - Great looking knife. The old bone is well preserved, shows great colors, and I like those steel pins. Here is an illustration. It is the last knife in the 1926 catalog. Same knife as yours minus the etch.

Thanks for that info, thawk; I doubt if this one was made in the '20's.

Maybe not, but if it was, it would not be any different. That is a bona fide keeper.

Here is a Schrade Walden #856 cattle knife, about 3 5/8 inches. Dirty but basically new. Thawk, the pins on that 8813 are brass.

Here are some shiny #8 frames. My scanner hates bright metal; I don't know the workaround. Sorry.

The 813 Calvin is a very neat looker!! I have shown these before but could not resist again.

TR, Schrade came out with a small line of stainless knives, and offered them in the 1926 catalog. Yours is an SS8813, and indeed was likely made in the 1920s.
People did not trust stainless in those days, and they didn't sell well, making them more rare than the carbon steel models.

Hurrah for the Red, White, and Blue!

In the later days of Jack Knife Ben's career, he apparently had Schrade make some of his Cattle knives, post WWII.

And here's an 899 from the same era, but not etched for anyone.

Based on a Cattle knife, you don't see a Moose very often. I wonder when they quit making them??

 

[waynorth]

Made on the same frame, even the swedges are very similar, yet the knives have a different look;

- both beautiful though!

 

[waynorth]

You don't see Schrade Cattle knives without shields too often; I often wonder if they were military contract knives of some kind??

Thanks, Charlie, for showing some true gems. Nobody does it like you does it!
