Thanks Hal. I think the only disappointment I had/ have is that the clip has no snap whatsoever and you have to help it to close. I was really hoping some of that would have improved when I cleaned it. Oh well, it won't be an issue since it won't see any use anyway.

Chuck, that 'ol 8OT looks great! Glad you got the shield straightened out as well. As far as the walk and talk on the clip, it may be a matter of a worn spring/tang. Does the spring sit below the liners when the blade's closed? Oftentimes this area will be prematurely worn out due to grit and a lack of oil over the life of the knife. The tang and backspring are generally far softer than the main blade, and grit will act like a slow grinder and gradually wear away the metal on both the backspring and the cam part of the tang that contacts it. This is also compounded by wear on the pin itself that holds the blade in place. Eventually you're left with no action at all. That's why the old Sheffield knives were stamped; "oil the joints!". No matter on that fine example though, it's still a fine collectable!!!
Bill, nice key knives!! You definitely don't see many around.:thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks a lot ea42, I wish I had a box and all that bling with mine, that goes for the knives in the Zephr's club too.

Oh my goodness! I've got one that Charlie doesn't? I'm getting to be somebody
. Thanks for the compliment Charlie!Chuck
Here's a few of my recently arrived Schrades. nothing super special, but i like 'em.
Covered Wagon Commemorative, probably the least commonly seen of this series. good deal too, under $20.
Another sub $20 deal. unused but poorly stored. I have a few of the Scrimshaw Folding Hunters, including a mint example of this one, but i just can't pass up a good deal on a Schrade.
Schrade Cut. Co Barehead Jack, unfortunately missing it's shield. arched "Schrade" so likely a fairly early one.
Schrade Cut. Co. Swell End Jack, well used, but almost free, couldn't help myself.

Schrade Cut. Co. pearl Lobster, with "C. W. Braunsdorf" on handle
Schrade Walden 895 with Peachseed bone.
Schrade Walden 899, Delrin.
Schrade Cut. Co. 3 3/8" Pen knife with "Stainless Steel" etch. don't know why it has so many handle pins.
Schrade Cut. Co. 3 1/8" Gent's Whittler, Cracked Ice.
and 2 Aluminium (?) handled 3 1/2" adverising Pen knives, Schrade Walden for Knox Woolen Company and New York Knife Co. for E.H. Best & Co.
same frames so Schrade maybe used old N.Y.K. Co. stock.
Some might say this next one isn't a Schrade made knife. But it might be !
Partially serrated blade is unusual.

Yes, that 895 is the star of this show. Thanks for sharing!

Handle materials aside, the 837 had pen/coping secondaries. The 836 had pen/small clip. Both had the nice sabre clip main blade.

Here is another one with similar wear pattern. From 1947 catalog: 3 9/16 inches closed. Black celluloid. Nickel silver bolsters and shield. Blades fully polished. The old pattern number had been 8364 3/8 B from the Schrade Cutco days.

And an earlier Cutco jack, on the same frame. I haven't looked up the pattern number. The other one is a 33OT. They are cute little fellows, aren't they, Roland?

That is the 236 Calvin. I have one of the last ones with Delrin handles.
Also noticing Roland's sweet stockman. It appears to be a late 40's model, and of course it is unlikely to have the pattern stamped on the back. Not sure I've seen a short spey/long spey combination like that. Looked around in the catalogs and could not find a match.
The 837 Whittler is pretty rare too, kind of the mini 804.
The Covered Wagon knife was an excellent snag too. You've been busy Roland.

I love these commemoratives! For some reason they just tickle my fancy. Nice!

Always something a bit different was Schrade's trademark. Usually when there is no USA on a Schrade Walden stamp, there is no pattern number. Keeps us on our toes. Love that knife. :thumbup:

Roland, what a haul! Gotta agree with everyone on that 895, it's a stunner! (although the lobster sure runs a close second).
The 836 is a nice holdover from the Cut.Co days, right up to the cell. handles. It was initially available in four different blade configurations, collectively referred to as the 3 9/16" serpentines. Here's the family:
