"Old Knives"

[tongueriver]

I would like to advance a theory: When they broached the very new subject of a new knife line in 1959, which resulted in the 2OT, this was one of the possibilities they considered. In other words, a true prototype. Thoughts?

Maybe!! Who else has seen one?? It came from a distributor who had an "in"!! He covered western Canada for Schrade!!

Thanks to Jeff for the catalog cut a few posts ago! Say... didn't Ken Erickson make one of these?

Interesting, Cal, that those have an extra pin only on the pile side.

Those are three very nice English jacks, Cal! Interesting observation, Jeff. The jack in post #18905 is also a great knife, I used to own it.

These pictures turned out pretty bad but I have been wanting to show off these new arrivals for the last couple of days.

The first is a really neat craftsman four blade stockman. Quite a husky knife. Has seen very little use and a nice clear etch remains and the edges are still unsharpened. It's about 3 7/8''. Nice bones with the cool saucer style shield.




And now a western boulder colorado 744 pattern 4'' stockman. Nice bones as well in seemingly unused condition with minor stains. This one has a very smooth and affirmative action and a rather pointy punch.

Those are certainly heavenly bodies for your astronomy...er... stockman/cattle collection. Great examples.

Real nice examples of the Stockman breed, Paul!!!

I have shown these before, my wife's grandfathers' knives. Top is a not so old German Boker three blade stockman in red bone; bottom is a Boker USA 4 blade Congress in jigged bone.

This should have gone here. I placed the same photos in the traditional and beverage thread....had to add a SA and a bottle of beer in that thread to comply.

All good ones! I have a soft spot in my heart for them myself.
