Schrade 511 sc cub lockblade

[Fred 2]

I have been collecting the Schrade 511 SC knives. I have 1982 thru 1988 then understand they discontinued them and started again in 1992-93 and 94 then stoped again. I would like to know if this info is right and what animal is etched on each of the knives. Been searching for the 1992 when I came across some one listing one as an 1989 and I didn't think they made any that year. Any information is much appreciated, if you e mail me please put 511 SC in subject...Thanks Fred 2

Hi Fred.. We like to make any answers public here, so that we can all learn. And, in this case, the other members will correct me if I'm wrong (as if!).
My reference here is BR Levines Guide, 4th edition:

1984: chipmunk
1985: racoon
1986: opossum
1987: frog
1988: weasel
1992: squirrel
1993: woodcock
1994: scorpion

This reference shows this series began in 1976 and ran until 1996. It does not show any 511s being made in years not listed above. Sooooo... Is someone trying to fool our new friend Fred, guys? And please note, I do not show a 1982 issue at all.

Phil,
Great job.
I second sourced you with my copies of the catalogs and all were correct.
My hat goes off to Bernie (and Debbie). Some of the pictures in the catalog are tiny specially the weasle.
I would have guessed Sand Piper and not a Woodcock! Dont believe we have and Woodcocks in NH. Maybe a few frozen ones

Thanks for backing me up on that, Larry. Hope this answers Fred's question.

We would have many more woodcocks here in Michigan if I did not shoot so many.
