My old Schrade

[Greg Jones]

I purchased this in 1978, at a Woolco. I can date it because I had just started working full time. The original Sheath slowly disintegrated  so a local saddle  maker made me a new one. The current Shrade company still makes this pattern calling it the golden spike, I've held it and sadly it feels nothing like the original, much lighter.anyway here's a couple of pic's

That's a beauty! Still in use Greg?

It sure is, if I have a reason for a belt knife it's the one!

[Greg Jones]

I purchased this to replace the Schrade in the early 80s but it never did. They're made locally and are a high quality

Nice old schrade. 
I have a Puma Trail guide from 1980 I bought while in my first job.

Nice pics Greg!

I am sure that knife brings back a lot of good memories,

I agree that the current models don't feel like the originals.

They are nice, I had gotten so used to the Schrade that I couldn't switch, the Grohman only went on one 3 day hunting trip when it was new

Pretty cool, Greg! I like the Grohmann design, must make for a hell of a chopper. Almost half way between a knife and a machete. I have to agree the Schrade as a great old school look to it.

The Grohman is a brut, it might not have the swing of a machete, but it could go toe to toe with a hatchet, it would fit nicely as a Bushcraft tool

Beautiful knife, Greg. 

My first fixed blade knife was a Schrade Old Timer.

This Schrade Old Timer:



The sheath is still in decent shape, but clearly showing its age and use.



Blade is still nice and sharp, but could use a touch-up to get it back to shaving.

My uncle gave me this knife when I was 12 years-old and it meant the world to me. Other hunting knives have come and gone, but the old Schrade is a keeper.

Love items that have a story behind them. Pretty kewl!

 

You do realize you're creating similar stories for many folks around here, right?

 

[Nix]

Hadn't thought of it that way, but a kewl idea, indeed.

Well, if when you end up being part of someone's knife history, I think it's more than appropriate.

"It's not my fault, officer. Some yankee posted that thing to my home in Toronto. You know those americans, they're all aboot starting troubles and conflicts. I'd never look for a gravity knife myself."

I purchased this in 1978, at a Woolco. I can date it because I had just started working full time. The original Sheath slowly disintegrated  so a local saddle  maker made me a new one. The current Shrade company still makes this pattern calling it the golden spike, I've held it and sadly it feels nothing like the original, much lighter.anyway here's a couple of pic's

Nice !

Nice Schrade Old Timer Nix! 

That was quite a gift from your uncle.

I love a knife with many great childhood memories!

Yep, I have an old Schrade belt knife too (the type with a Delrin handle). It's a very well made knife.

Nice!

[MTFool]

I had to dig out my old ones. I haven't used them in YEARS.    They have served me a real well and have been on many, many hunting and fishing trips over the years.
Even though they are not in the best of shape, I would not think twice on using them again

Those 2 knives are like time machines...... they instantly take you back to some great memories!
