Elusive Schrades

What a sweet old Barlow Ron- who knows that could may even be older than Paul Hilborn- so it may definitely be Antique!

Thanks Duncan! It may be older than Paul. I bet it might be in better shape too!

I've posted this knife before, but these are new pics! While "posing" it, I noticed that the file/screwdriver blade has firm half/stop and open snap, while the pen has a round tang, on the same spring, and is easier (but firm) to open and close. I suspect this knife was designed for the driver of a car with old-fashioned points type sparking, and this knife would be useful to clean and set the points!! I used to know how to do that!!
How else can a guy win LeMans with his Deuce Coupe??!!
Hardly used, though age-patina-ed, it's an interesting variation on Schrade Cut's Cattle/Scout pattern!!
Schrade made other tool-knives on their standard patterns! If you have one please post it for us to see!!

Oh yeah Charlie, I remember setting the points on my 57 Chevy and my 66 Volkswagen! Those were the days!

That is a wonderful Schrade multi purpose equal end

Here are 5 of my curve tang stamp elusive Schrades that I posted photos of in the “Old Knives” thread four or five months
back but thought they belonged in this thread also.

Should have come with a box of Wheaties. Nail breaker on main blade.

Here’s an interesting one, a schrade walden 861 but with yellow celluloid handles. It should be an 861Y, but doesn’t have a pattern stamp and 861Y doesn’t show up in the catalogs. Lovely condition, unused. A very pleasing find which has all the qualities of a nice 1950’s era schrade.

Wow, that is quite nice and minty. The coining is so crisp, probably has never seen a pocket.

Charlie, Lloyd, Cal, Catdaddy2 and Paul, what a page full of beautiful knives!!!

I have one of these as well. I found it during a scrimshaw kick I was on awhile back.

I picked up one more nice schrade walden 861 to end the year. It seems unused but had tarnish at one point and a light cleaning. A little unfortunate, but whoever did it had a light touch and did not mess up the swedges. Lovely bone, factory edges.

Paul, both those 861's are exceptional, just beautiful.

Added a very nice Schrade Cut Co 4 7/8" auto this week, appears to have original blade finishes, fires strong.

Thanks for the compliment John.

That’s an outstanding switchblade!
