What's your latest Schrade? END DATE 8/12

[Jamo]

I'm sorry I had to because I had another collector after it I would have sold it . This way my grandkids can fight over it . I usually don't but it was so nice the feel balance . Schrade sacrifice. I SS it for the others in the collection.
Don't worry it took me three months to do ,I was worried about wearing the box out then we had a beast to skin .
I'm still upset about this one I let another collector collect of me .

Jamo - I, too, have taken a mint knife or two and introduced it to the world of hunting and fishing. The meat is better if the game is skinned with a mint knife. A lot of people don't know that.
Nice folding hunter!

how does one tell the difference in bone and delrin. and i must admit after being on here for some time and trying to figure it out on my own i can't. what is peachseed mean when it is applied to handles? sorry for the dumb (my specialty) question. am including photos of my 825SS and a 825. plus a 293 which is definitely delrin.

It does for the 825SS, but I do not believe I've seen an 855 with bone handles. The 855 came about in 1964 in the Razor Blade line.

The 825SS was called "The Westerner". The 825SS, if it was bone, I believe had threaded bolsters too.

I believe you would find some bone handled "55" pattern in the Ulsters. Same knife and family.

You are too right mate . If Schrade were still open I would break one in on every beast just as respect then sell the knife . My son and I are members of the SSAA Sporting Shooters association of Australia the NRA are our brothers . United we stand .
Here's another one . I love these hunters .

Sometimes a bit difficult to determine, but bone is harder, and often shinier. The best way to tell is to look for "haversion canals", which are tiny pores in the bone. I look on the side where the handle meets the liner. Looking on the sides of the handles, if there is an abrupt change from a darker top to a tan color, it is probably Delrin. There are sharp blade skating across the surface of the knife tests (knife catches on Delrin), tooth thumping tests (like a watermelon test) and hot pin tests .

But after you see a few bone knives you can tell.

Yours all look Delrin to me, but the 825SS in the center might fool me. Hard to tell looking at those photographs.

Peachseed is a style of jigging, it can be bone, Delrin, or other plastics. Makes it more fun, right?

My latest 4th of July addition, circa 1996. I'm making VERY slow progress on this collection, but it's progress nonetheless!

Nice, Eric! Nice collection of stamps also!! For Boxes??

 

[ea42]

Thanks Charlie! I think there's a combination of stamps in there, some for leather, some for boxes, and a goodly number for knife handles (wood, delrin and celluloid). Most are hot stamps. I'll see if can't get a few shots tomorrow of just the stamps. You'll recognize a goodly number of them.

My first 897 Uncle Henry.

 

[meako]

hoping to get my second green 5OT -nib very soon- love those colours-green & gold well brass actually.
Missed out on a "blue bone" fixed blade. I have a couple of folders with the blue bone. Is it real bone or blue delrin?

 

[know what i mean]

Picked up an earlier model 8ot this weekend. 8ot stamped on the pile side. Joints were stiff ( much like myself ) but oiled them up, knife is otherwise in good condition!

 

[rprocter]

A Schrade/USA/272 and a Kutmaster/UticaCut.CC./Utica,N.Y.
same size and quite similar: (the "CC" probably is a poorly stamped "CO")

Did Schrade ever make knives for Utica ?
thanks, roland

Thawk, I am crazy for that peachside bone stockman with punch, is that an 895? I get mixed up when I don't have the numbers in front of me. Anyway, it is a beauty. Here is one I am going to send to my brother, an Eagle Scout. I stood at attention in ranks before Lady Baden Powell in 1960, in Baker, Montana for the 50th anniversary of the BSA. She was a very regal lady. Two of our Tenderfoots passed out in the heat that day. I might have had a knife in my pocket

Camillus did an excellent job on those Jubilee knives!

You do have the other knife in the issue set, right?

 

[tongueriver]

No, I don't have the other one, and this one is going to my brother, who wouldn't know a pocket knife from a pulaski. (but I do.) (And pulaskis and hoes are way less mo fun than a shovel.)

That stockman with a punch is an 883 Tongueriver, 4" closed length.

 

[tongueriver]

Ahh, yes; I remember now; I have one in Delrin.

Here is my newest Imperial Frontier 4815. http://edbeau.multiply.com/photos/album/12/Imperial_Frontier#photo=4

 

[rprocter]

Just received these 2 absolutely mint knives with sheaths.
An LB7 with nickel-silver bolsters and liners and an acorn shield, and an Imperial Frontier Double Eagle, maked on back tang:4815 U/Imperials/StainlessA. i did not take a pic of this stamping but i've never seen "Imperials" or "StainlessA" before.

The quality of the Imperial Double Eagle knives is equivalent to Schrade, but usually sell for less.

Here's an LB5 marked: L.L.Bean/Freeport,ME. on mark side and Schrade+/U.S.A. on pile side.

Loved that little knife.
