Nice bone on that Jack !

Thanks Steve, it also has teeth.
Blood on wife's new place mats will attest to it.

Cindy draws names from the old folks home in town every year so today is the day we take them down to go under their tree. Then it'll be off to the Brass Rail Restaurant for their Wednesday special - lamb stew. After, a drive around town and out to the Stock Yards to see what's going on - also to waste gas. I'll follow Dan's sf fanatic lead and carry a Lambfoot - a two blade no less and this one is dressed in some really nice deep rich Ebony .

The only way I know of for sure, is the tang stamp saying Schrade, or Schrade Walden.
The 8 Old Timer Stockman was previously named the 881, but later Schrades, like my yellow ones, were also labeled 881.
The jigged delrin was mostly used by SW, and then, when the Old Timer name came along, the sawcut delrin was mostly used.

Then, I don’t think the pull gives a definitive clue either. Although I guess I’ve seen the long pull, and the matchstrike long pull on SW more often, vs the nail nick on Schrades.

Another small difference, but not always, is the model number being on the back of the tang on the Schrade Waldens.

The one I toted yesterday has Schrade Walden on the mark side of the tang, and 8OT on the pile side of the tang. It has the matchstrike long pull, and sawcut delrin. I think all those clues probably mean it was from just before they changed from Schrade Walden to just Schrade.
Here’s another that I have on me now, a Schrade Walden 879. Probably a bit older, with the jigged delrin. This one has rounded bolsters, and more of a curve to the frame, but it’s the same size as the 881/80…View attachment 2422201View attachment 2422202

Jeff, the 879 is last shown in the 1965 catalog.

My only 21 Bull Buster. The Osage Orange handles have changed color from bright yellow to mellow brown since 2014.

Good Lord, I need a 21 in my life!

Missed out on a drop today - hopefully I'll be able to pick one up from this run.

Gorgeous example!

A couple of 44s on a beautiful December day. Off to walk through the Christmas lights in the local botanical gardens tonight. At 3- and 4-years old, the grandkids are wide-eyed at everything Christmas. Sure makes the season fun!!

Coco & Bocote today.

Yes, we had Ginger Wine as well but I don't think it had alcohol in it. At least I don't think it did. We had shandies at Christmas and New Years as well.





Nice !

LOL! I don't think my grandmother knew it had alcohol in it, she would never have dreamed of giving us a glass of beer, for example! Obviously if it had a splash of lemonade in the beer, it was fine! Thanks buddy

Off to the market tomorrow, with these two
