Hello There,
This is my second post in Blade Forums (the first is in the Schrade forum) and I am also a new member, so I would like to give a big -HOWDY! to all.
Now I don't want you thinking that I am just a lazy slob looking for easy answers. I have been researching these knives for a better part of two weeks now and I cannot find anything. I can't even get a response from Schrade when I e-mail them. I have looked at every knife book with in twenty miles of my location and have done extensive research on the web, including going through all of the past posting and archives in blade forums.
This is what I need help with:
I have two Schrade Cutlery Corp. knife sets, both mint in the box with all paperwork and the original white cardboard sleeve with the serial number printed on it.
The first set is two knives called Warren Whittler Limited Edition Set in a cardboard box with a woodgrain pattern and gold lettering, One of the papers included says:
"This is one of 1,500 sets created exclusively for Warren Tool Co., Inc. , Rhinebeck, N.Y. by Schrade Cutlery Corp., Ellenville, N.Y. These knives have matching serial numbers on nickel silver bolsters and beautiful Rosewood handles. Both the wharncliffe style blade (Warren #1) and the modified pen style blade (Waren #2) are of high carbon tool steel. Both styles of "True Whittlers" were designed by Warren Tool Co., Inc. to perpetuate whittling and carving as an art and craft. Thank You. Sincerely yours, Fred Clark, President, Warren Tool Co., Inc."
The second knife set is in a box like the whittlers but instead of wood grain it is a fake leather cardboard box, also with gold lettering. The box says Turtle Scrimshaw, Limited Edition. Inside there is a thick clear plastic cover with the Schrade logo in the upper left hand corner.
Here is what on of the papers says about this knife:
"Turtle Scrimshaw lockblade and sheath"
"The sheath is genuine leather with a suede finish. Covering the sheath is the symbol of the turtle made of hand sewn beads. The flap of this unique sheath is embossed with the head of a turtle head."
"The Turtle, fourth of a Limited Edition series of Schrade knives honoring the American Indian. The front of the knife shows the Turtle and the Indian Village. The back shows two turtles lying in the grasses. Only 10,000 serialized Turtle knives will be produced and registered with Schrade."
Below the turtles on the scrimshaw there is a 84, so this knife was released in 1984 or 1985.

Does anyone know the release date of the Warren Whittlers?
Does anyone know the value of these knives?
Are they worth holding on to or selling?
Any Help would be a BIG help, because of right now I am lost on finding anything.
Thank You for reading this and for any help!
