Hey Rusty, that 825 Schrade you have pictured down there....did it come with the clear plastic tube they came in?

If you check this number on E bay 350565900756, this is an AUTHORIZED TAYLOR REPRODUCTION.

Guys, I beleieve these were made by Taylor with USA parts.NOT REAL USA Schrades.I had bought some of these a few years ago and the box had Taylor on it. Everything looked good but a little shakey on "real" USA Schrade. I could be wrong but if it is the same ones I bought from Blue Ridge Knives as I sent them back.

Did anyone get one of these?

Wow!! Finally a Schrade group. Was wondering if this would ever happen. Been away for a while and just thought I would check in and ran across this. Good deal and I'm and avid Schrade guy but still learning too.

Thanks to Jim for creating this group.

Hi!  I just had to show a knife I found today.  It's a Schrade SS825, 3 1/2" slim serpentine stockman stainless.  After a little research, I found out it was only made from 1971 to 1972 and the MSRP was exactly half of what I paid.  Oh well.  I especially liked the "RAZOR BLADE STAINLESS" etch and the script "Stainless" on the shield.  It looks to be in pretty good shape.  Carried some, but maybe not sharpened or used.  Anyway, it is the second oldest knife in my collection now.

This is a Presto switchblade-pruning knife made by Schrade. This knife is 4 inches long closed and 6 ¾ inches when opened.  It had nickel silver bolsters on one end and a bail hook on the other end.  Black jigged bone handles, lined. On the tang, on side says “Presto Pat Jan. 30, 1940 made in U.S.A on the other side it says Geo. Schrade Knife CO. Inc. Bridgeport, Conn.

I picked up this knife at the Great Western show in Los Angeles, California in 1983. A dealer had three of them for sale, all in original boxes. He wanted $45.00 each or all three for $100.00. In those days, I would go up with $100.00 in my pocket for all three days and I didn’t want to blow all my money on one deal. Why doesn’t someone have a crystal ball that we can look into and see the future?

I don’t get it .. have the primary be 2~3 times as thick (robust) as the secondary’s .. by design !!!

Then purposely grind it down to the flimsier thickness of the secondary’s .. right after the tang ??

I'm with you D ale. The modern spine grind concentrates any sidewards prying stress right at that spot where the thick tang becomes thin blade. AND, for those of that sometimes place a thumb on the back of the blade the thicker spine is lot more comfortable.

Stamping on that sleeveboard =    SCHRADE    over    CUT. CO.    over    WALDEN, N.Y.  ...  both primary & secondary pen blade stamped.

Both secondary’s have a 1/2 stop.

 

And something I’ve noted with split back whittlers and the passing of time. The grind on the primaries used to retain more of the stout thickness of the primary.  That btm one is a Waterville.

The Schrade in the middle was mid/late 40’s production. You still cannot tell where the tang stops & the blade grind begins .. top view anyway.

The top one is Queens current production #48 .. no problem telling where the tang stops & the blade grind begins on that one !!!

I don’t get it .. have the primary be 2~3 times as thick (robust) as the secondary’s .. by design !!!

I prefer the older grinds !!!!
