Wow! That is a real prize, Hal! good for you!

 

[tongueriver]

I see that they go 1.25 pounds to the dozen. I would take a half pound.

Yes, buy em like meat!

Hal, you have a very nice S-W 834. These older S-W knives with bone and in unused condition are not easily come by.

A few recent acquisitions.

PH-2 Redeaux Desert Ironwood w/Rg Leather sheath

1984 25th Silver Anniv. Old Timer 34OT #0933

2001 Duckfinger

 

[Spectrum]

Beautiful knives shown above- I really like the Duckfinger.
My latest Schrade is this Mac Tools LB5, got it for less than $20.00 in new condition on eBay. I never had an LB5 before and I really like the size of this knife.

Picked this up at a flea market today; A Schrade-Walden 906 Officer's Knife (ca. 1957-1963, as old as I)

 

[rprocter]

Nice 906 'camp' knife. Great score. you don't see this one around very often.

Nice ones Wosey. Been trying to find a Silver Anniversary like that one for a couple years. The officers knife is a nice pickup Gbuskirk. Looks like it is in good shape too. Congrats on your first LB5 Spectrum, that is a nice size, the LB5.

 

[rprocter]

Here is a 3 1/8" Senator pattern "Scissors Knife" which is shown on page 37, Cat. E, 1926 as pattern 8456T.

On the pile side Master tang is stamped: 36/250

This would seem to indicate the 36th knife in a run of 250, but i have never seen a Schrade Cut. Co. knife stamped like this. Also this exact pattern is shown in Cat. E, so why a special serialized run ?
It is a nice knife.

[george65]

nice knife, Roland... I like the pull on those scissors

 

[rprocter]

Thanks. I wonder if the scissors were purchased from Henckels ?
See post # 2 in this thread for a Henckels Germany marked knife that i think is an early Schrade-Walden: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=708472&highlight=henckels
maybe SCC & S-W did some business with Henckels, Germany ??

Schrade did some work for Henckels during the Walden era.

 

[waynorth]

The scissors might be German. They certainly wouldn't be the only examples a German contract in Schrade's history.
Here is a recent acquisition by our friend in Texas. I expect to see nice photos of it in the near future!
Looks like a mini-2OT at 3 1/8" long!

It's actually a C2533 3/4SQ. Can anyone decipher the codes in that number????

Wow, what a cool knife and what a number. I'll take a stab at it:

C2533 3/4 SQ

C Steel caps
2 2 blades, blades oriented at same end
53 Factory pattern number
3 Bone Stag handles
3/4 Spear master replaced with clip
SQ Special knife

 

[waynorth]

I think your numbers are right, Hal.

Flat surfaced bolsters were sometimes called square bolsters, back in earlier cutlery days. I wonder if SQ suggested that??

I've seen the C before. Does it mean a "cap" where there isn't usually one??
