Charlie's superb collection of Schrade Walden's inspired me to go out hunting for a few.

Well since he refuses to give me the keys to his Schrade collection safe I was forced to go out and buy my own.:p

I purchased these before Xmas and they arrived yesterday. Now this may surprise you but they are the first Schrade Walden knives that I have ever seen......
As a boy in America I had seen Old timers but never the older knives...... All I can say is these are really beautiful and what amazing walk and talk they have. The small stockman is really an exceptional piece and the prices were so reasonable.

I am definitely now on the hunt for more but I will still keep trying to get Charlie's alarm code out of him..........:D

Nice group, Steven.

Being influenced by Charlie is never a bad thing. ;):thumbup:
 
Congrats on your new Schrades. It sure looks like you started out with some very nice ones... I only have a few, but the older Schrades really are incredible knives. As far as jigged Delrin goes, IMHO they did a great job with it.

BTW, I have a feeling Charlie doesn't have a safe. Its probably more like a bank vault :D
 
I have to agree that chasing Charlie can be an expensive pursuit, especially when you buy 6 at a time. :p

I tried for awhile to catch up, with encouragement from Charlie that I would because he was "old".




Then I found out that I was older than he was ! :eek:

P.S. He keeps some of his finest in his sock drawer.:rolleyes:

Must be an awful big sock drawer :D
 
I love the big hunter (bottom knife in the last pic), I have a soft spot for the biggest of the slippies and own hunters in a couple patterns...so much steel and scale...they are a pleasure to look at, hold, and use.

Thanks:thumbup:
And you know you can find them fairly easily around $60-00 that's a bargain in anyone's money.
When you think about what some modern 60 Dollar folding knives look like there is no comparison!

:eek: UH OH you are in DEEEEEEP doo doo now that our MAN (Charlie) has influenced you (in a good way for knives; a bad way for yer pocket book!!!:D:p)

I keep sayin that the earth keeps tilting to the far North East:p

WE ALL LOVE YA Charlie!!!:D:o
 
I'm not sure it is a good idea to let Charlie know about any Schrades in good condition that are not already in his collection. You'd better upgrade your security at home.
