That's a good haul Brad!!!

An exciting group of new knives!  Congrats

I can't believe some of the prices the common everyday delrin handled Schrades are going for today! I guess Schrade going out of business was good for the collectors (sellers)! LOL!

1917-46 Schrade Cutco Peanut - Butter-n-Molasses

Fantastic Brad! Love that Butter and Molasses! And it's a Peanut!

Schrade Horizontal sheath I bought on eBay. Fantastic! Now I can carry a slipjoint knife without the knife floating around my pocket. The knife pictured in the sheath is my Schrade Butter & Molasses 896K Medium Stockman (3-1/2" Closed)

My 108OT Old Timer Junior, and my 885UH Uncle Henry King Ranch.

I was fortunate enough to be able to buy a counter display of U.S.A. made Schrade knives. The display was almost complete only two knives missing and both were the same pattern the scissors knife a 707 UH & 106 OT. All the knives are mint and most boxes are with it.

Harvey, not sure I have any 106s or 707s left, but will look when I get time.

Harvey, if Ron has them. Buy them, they will probably be the most immaculate knives in that case if you do. 

Sorry, all I can find is the Ducks Unlimited versions of the 106 and 707. 

Thanks for looking Ron. If I can not come up with any I may consider these!

This is some of my Schrade Knives . Seventeen of these are mint, they are all USA made and I have Boxes for the mint knives as well. 

This is a counter display that I purchased with my collection. the scissor knives are the only ones missing. I found this in 2005 not long after Schrade went out of business.

SCC USA SC 506 (Schrade)

Improved Muskrat I used on the Trapline in South Dakota

Nice open stock Schrade Ken! 

I have a Uncle henry 897 UH from 2004, a scrimshaw Barlow from the 80's, and I recently bought a 293 trapper on ebay. I always liked the old timers and Uncle Henrys

I get an old schare wire jack and it sounds like a wonderful design, the handle is the working spring!!!!

The old wire knives are neat!

I haven't posted these for a while. Two of four Schrades that I have left from a LARGE Scharde collection I had in the 1980's. 

Schrade-Waldens

Jigged Peacheed Bone

Butter and Molasses Celluloid

Thanks Hog! I've been surprised that it and my old Camillus in celluloid have remained in mint condition........knock on wood. 

I still keep the celluloid ones away from my others......just in case.

Picked up this Schrade TL-29 - really nice handles and great snap.

Recent score at a Gun Show: OT 33OT USA Middleman Jack NIB

Ken, I am liking that Electricians knife,

Thanks Brad, what handle material do you think it has???

Ken,

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. That handle material is most likely Delrin, whether it is smooth or saw cut it is still nearly indestructible.

My latest Schrade - USA 885UH

156ot Lil' Finger sold on eBay over the weekend for $72.00!! It didn't even have the original sheath. I paid 1/3 that amount for mine. It is a wonderful Lil' knife, but not for $72.

Paratrooper Switchblade Knife

Knife is on page 135 of the book "Antique American Switchblades" by Mark Erickson

Authentic Jigged Bone Handle Scales

High Carbon Steel Clip Point Blade

Specifications:

• Overall Length:  7 3/8"

Thanx Steve, I wish it was cleaner, but I really like the age on this one. It wasn't really meant to be "Pretty"

The spring and actions are very smooth and crisp, and the blade is SUPER sharp.

I also have the Orange "Nam" one, also Schrade in Very Clean Condition. Maybe I'll put some shots of It too!

I like automatics a lot but you have to be careful of State Laws "Big Brother" Even though I have a Concealed Weapons Permit, IT's still a problem

Looking at a schrade ixl stockman on Ebay. Are these good knives ?  This is a stockman with brown bone handles, looks to be near mint condition. The add says it is from 1987. Are these hard to find ?

I picked up this Near-Mint Schrade Heritage jumbo whittler on eBay last week. It's replacing a similar piece in the display case that was in much lower grade condition.

Knife collecting can be confusing sometimes.  I bought a knife on Ebay  and the next day a knife in the same condition as the one I bought went for half the price. Anyone experience this or have advice.

Just got a Schrade IXL stockman. The add said it was from 1987, but after doing some checking, it is actually from 1981. The knife looks brand new. Will post some pics soon.

On a tip from Ricky, got this IXL off ebay. IXL Schrade Sheffield England. M0259. What year do you think this is Ricky.??

Here's an old ad Ken.....

If I remember correctly, the "O" in the Hallmark on yours indicates it was made in 1980.

I should have said article, not ad, down there! LOL!

Thanks for the article Craig.

Ken , from what I have read on these, the numbers on the other bolster tell the date. The characters are SW and I cannot make out what the third one is, but the fourth character is a number and is supposed to be the last digit of the year. Yours would be 1980. On the schrade collectors site, there is a nice brochure about these knives under IXL. Let me know if you can't find it.

Glad you were able to get that knife, That was a good price, I think it slipped under the radar . I did not know if it was a good idea or not to say something about an ebay item on here, would it be good to say something again in the future if I see a good deal on a knife ? I looked later and someone had another knife like these listed as a buy it now for $ 89.

Yes, I think it was a good idea, it tipped me off and I got a good buy, and I thank you for it. So nothing wrong with that.

Good article Craig, it looks to be from the one I saw on the Schrade collectors site. I thought his was from 1980, thanks for confirming it. The one I got is from 1981.

Tom, Welcome - wow you worked at Schrade. You have to be our go to man now. Nice collection of Schrades.
