Good colour bone on that Knife Jeff.

I get the feeling this thread might get some more additions over the next couple of days what with Christmas.....;)

Doorbell rang at some early hour and postman delivered this, last delivery until 29th just in time!!:eek: It has now been wrapped and stowed under the tree (well look got to check it out..) as the only folding knife present I'll get this Christmas - the family&friends have long given up trying to buy me a knife, some nonsense about "don't you have enough of those things??" uh uh :D:D Very pleased with it, well done me! Registered Post a bit later also yielded a damascus Santoku from Japan, sharp is not the word:cool: The veggies stand no chance:D

1964 Schrade Walden NY USA Slim Stockman "color-stamped shield", which was done on the original versions of this Razor Blade Stainless knife with the PAT PENDING etch. This is sweet traditional pattern, at a very pocketable 3 9/16" closed length.

The "Razor Blade Stainless" promotion as the series was launched in 1964. The factory honed blades are still razor sharp after 50 years. :thumbup:

Very nice thawk, thanks for the info on a great knife. Were the blades convexed, they look like it?

They are a flat ground blade with a glazed finish, then they sharpened I believe on a wheel of some sort.

I'll get a pic up soon but my cousin sent me this traditional Hungarian peasant/working man's knife. Guess what? It looks like a Sodbuster. It's called a Balla Sárvár bicska, (bicska is Hungarian for knife) it has Olive Wood handles and a HCS blade with a convex grind. It's almost identical in size and shape as a Case Large Sodbuster but because of the wood scales being less dense than the bone, horn or delrin they usually use it weighs about 30% less.

It's a tough, rough knife that I can tell already well wear very nicely, 10 years from now when it has that pocket worn look I'll look back to today and fondly remember getting it from my cousin while I sit there and make it past of my traditional holiday attire.

I'll get some pics up soon, here's some borrowed photos for now.

Very nice. I have an unused 825RB that will still shave as well. Mine has the more common etch.

One of my favorite stockman patterns along with the 899 and 61ot/861.

I actually have my 899 in my pocket right now.

I have this one in my pocket today as well. :) I really like the 899 pattern too with the punch instead of the spey. I have a lotta love for these slim stockman knives.

Very cool, Ted! What a nice holiday gift.
 
Thanks Ron, I'm very keen to try it out but have to wait another day....useful size and stainless liners are a big draw.

Enjoy your Christmas and holidays everybody! Will

Thanks Dan, I was so happy to finally get a Northwoods Scagel folder, they are very impressive. Definitely one of the highest quality folders I have ever seen. Amazing snap and great f&f.

This one is the #14 English Jack.
