We can't go a whole page without some purty pitchers!!
At some point in the Schrade Cutlery story, serrated edges appeared, and Schrade put their "Wonda-edge" on several patterns. Here are a few; a small "premium" rope knife, one with, one without, from a rope company, and two Muskrats, one serrated on the mark blade, and one on the pile.

Been looking for this picture!!

Just got this Schrade Walden 899. Given the tang stamp and spey blade, I think its a 1947-1973 knife. Generally I don't have any trouble telling Delrin from bone, but this one....I'm pretty sure its Delrin, but its really nice Delrin. I like punch knives

Looks like delrin from here. That would put it in the range of early 60's to 1973 or so. In the 1974 catalog the 899 is shown having the spey switched out for a sheepsfoot blade.

Here is an old bone one with beautiful patina. A used but well cared for knife, so I carry on the tradition!

That's a beaut Cal, unusual color to the celluloid, looks to be in unused condition.

I picked up this Schrade Walden a few months ago because it struck me as unusual with the ruler blade. 2 backsprings.

I found this minty 899 on the auction site the other night. It was a good price so I snatched it up.



The new acquisition prompted me to take an 899 family photo. I don't see a lot of these around but somehow have managed to find three nice ones. No two peachseed slabs are exactly alike.

Different, yet the same!! Nice collection, Paul!!

Oh, the horror! A Parker Frost! But this one is a Schrade, with the blades stamped as such on the reverse.

I really like the job Schrade did with the bone handles on those, so much I have six of them....until the next one arrives next week

Some really nice stuff being shown. Keep em coming.

More MOP, freshly polished to real nice glow.

Lucky find. I think 861's are attracted to me somehow.

Very nice! I have one very similar buried in a box somewhere. I should dig it out and carry it.

 

[tongueriver]

Yes! I just found a plain one and stuck it in my back pocket. Have to sharpen it a bit.
