Schrade Evolution

[KAW]

Today I just received what is no doubt the best Schrade Cut Co. knife in my collection & I just had to post it or I'll never sleep tonight.... that' show excited I am!!!
I also found this exact model listed in the 1926 catalog, but this knife looks like it could have been made yesterday.... which also got me thinkin'.... ever thought of comparing the earliest & the latest generation of a pattern?

This acquisition is a 4" Texas Pattern Premium Stockman № 8814G with a Green Pearl celluloid handle. By chance about a month ago, I happen to pick up a Schrade descendant in the form of a Canal Street Cutlery 4" Stockman with a "Mica Pearl" handle made in 2013, Serial № 034. The second set of photos show the two side−by−side.... but some 80+ years apart....

Does anyone else have a similar pair of old & new?

’til later….

they look very good. someone did a great job in cleaning up the Cut Co. knife for sure. love the old ruler also. i like the bolsters of the Cut Co. to me so much cleaner.

What a great knife KAW. Any Schrade and most knife collectors would love to have that in their collection. Can't beat the quality of those Canal Street knives. Might even have been made by one of our resident Schrade contributors who worked at Canal Street before its closing.

Thanks FatCity67.... I feel quite lucky to come into possession of both these two.
