Schrade Model Question

[John A. Larsen]

In the May 2009 issue of Blade, on page 51 is a photo of a Schrade Walden display case. Can anyone tell me the model number of the yellow-celluloid handled stockman, and are they fairly common? I like yellow handled folders (just picked up a nice Western 659) and would like to get one of these Schrade's.

I would have to say, a 4" yellow stockman like an 881Y, or the 3 5/8" 834Y is still common. Schrade Waldens are a little more rare than the Schrade NY. You can also pick up an 882Y or 835Y on occasion, the two Birds Eyes

These are all USA made Schrades I picked up on Ebay.

Stay away from the ones with the Everlasting Sharp blade etch, and the SW in the pattern number. Those ones are remakes.

Thawk, thanks for the information and for the photo, they all look good! John
