Re: My latest Schrade
Good 'researching'. Likely you do have the 1959 issue knife. Bonite did not last long and most of the ones i have seen show shrinkage at the bolster junctions.

Re: My latest Schrade
Thanks, Joe. I don't think I have ever seen Bonite so good either. I won't get the knife in the mail until Monday.
Re: My latest Schrade
I can't choke a good picture out of my camera today, so ta-heck with it. I added to my green Schrade collection with this two knife boxed set containing a 72OT pattern knife and an LB5 pattern. I don't think the guy I bought them from knew there was a sheath underneath the knife tray. I have wondered what the story is on these modified Skoal knives. Now I think I know. The printing on the shipping sleeve for this set says SMK2SK. I'm reading that as, Smokey Mountain Knife 2 Skoal knives. The model numbers for the Skoal knives began with SK and just had Skoal stamped on the tang. Guess I'm not the only one who likes the green knives. I'm fond of those shields too!
Re: My latest Schrade
Nice set there Mustanger.
First skoal 72 I've seen .

Great gifts for the kids! You probably know that there were only 2500 of those made for Montgomery Wards, as a Christmas special offering.

Sorry Adog. I couldn't control my OCD. That's a mighty fine starter kit for young collectors-to-be. Way to go grandpa.

Re: My latest Schrade
What is the point in this "outburst". The Schrade 18OT had a liner lock, just like the 194OT.deltaboy wrote:18OT has a brass liner lock
Maybe a photo will help, describe an 18OT a little better.

Re: My latest Schrade
Howdy,
recently picked up a few for cheap
top one I gave 4 and a quarter online
the fixed blade I found in a consignment/antique shop for $20. My new camping/"bushcraft" knife Removed the top hand guard. No sheath so using my Ontario pilot knife sheath.
the 89ot was 16.50
and the 94ot was $10
Didn't get 'em all at the same time but over the last couple weeks. There all users.
I hate it when people try to "clean" a knife with sandpaper. Just sell it as is.
I didn't like the mottled patina so I just buffed gently and will work on my own patina.
Love me some Schrades... especially good deals
My favorite brand for 40+ years

Re: My latest Schrade
I understand what you are saying...most people do more harm than good, but you can do a pretty good restoration with sandpaper if you have the patience. This is a 236 I cleaned up for my collection.BatJak wrote:
