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

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

Thats a shame Ivars, I hope someone picks it up

If it was my state I'd get it! LOL!

You know, if the new Taylor-Schrades had carbon steel, especially on the Old Timers, I MIGHT try one. It just doesn't seem right.....an Old Timer with stainless blades. Sheesh.

Here's a site of interest.............

Craig,

I often wondered why some of the folks that take these old names change the steel type.  Is it a cost factor?

I think, there's a feeling that everyone wants stainless blades. I don't know. If anyone reads various threads on other forums you can see a rather large move towards carbon steel. But then again there are ones that say they won't touch the stuff (like I used to say! LOL!). 

If it was up to me I'd say keep the knives the way they were always made. Standard Schrades - carbon steel. Old Timers - carbon steel. Uncle Henrys - stainless.

I agree but I also think it would be nice if they would offer both.  

Schrade always used to do just that - Old Timer for the carbon steel folks, and Uncle Henrys for the stainless folks. Now Taylor messed the whole thing up! LOL!

Just purchased from Ron James a 3OT, 6OT, LB5, 897UH, 34OT, 8OT & XT1B. I am rather excited to be receiving these knives. I will post pictures when they arrive.

I'll be very anxious to see them Brad! You're going to make me want some good old Schrades again! LOL!

Ron James apparently doesn't carry, because 6 out of 6 knives I bought from him were Mint in Box. Even the 3OT "second" he gave me is in near mint condition. As you can see below they are all in un-used condition, with the factory edge still razor sharp. With the exception of the X-Timer which was perfect until I decided to see how far down the knife would cut through a double layer of 200 lb test Corrugated, with arm dropping force. 16". 36" if I power into it, but all that scarred of the black finish on both sides of the knife. I had planned on removing the finish and handle anyway.

I am very pleased with my purchase from Ron and would like to thank him publicly for his excellent tastes in cutlery. Also to tell him I will probably be back for the Hunter next week.

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.

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.
