My latest Schrade

[deltaboy]

Grabbed another really pocket worn 8OT Stockman!

[LanG]

Love the old bone jacks. Found this one at auction (bullet not included)-

[Tsar Bomba]

Incredible bone on that jack, Lan. Excellent find!

[espn77]

Very nice Lan, your picture taking is looking good. Nice knife.

[LanG]

Thank you Tony and Keith. I'm enjoying my new addiction!

[deltaboy]

Got another 34OT Stockman!

Here's a recent pawn shop score, a near mint 206.

Just got the box to go with the knife.

[ea42]

Oh man that's nice, box and knife!! Congrats on two incredible finds! Looks like the knife was never used

Ditto that KG.

[tongueriver]

Fantastic knife! They don't come any better! The box is from a later Schrade ownership era, but that is great also. Hmmm... I need to get me an old box; don't have one.

[Mustanger]

Schrade 296Y. Listed from 1992 to 1998. The price tag on the box reflects the list price for '92. Love me some yellow Schrades!

[Mustanger]

I guess I'll put this one up here too. The Kentucky Rifle commemorative that Schrade contracted to do for A. G. Russell in 1971. Mine is later than that with a serial number of 10701 and a Schrade, Ny tang stamp instead of Schrade Walden.

Read the rain story and that's it even better. Really nice knife. Love the whittlers.

Thank You doglegg. Not my typical pick up ....

This 'un might be open for negotiations, if anyone is interested . . . .

Think I'll post my latest additions here instead of the mail call thread. All these came with their packaging.

Got me another minty 858OT.

A large trapper (bigger than the 94 or 285), Old Timer classic edition. Wonder if they ever made a stockman edition like this and this size?

Scored my first early edition minty 94OT with its box and papers.

A sweet lil LB5. This thing looks sexy with the nickle silver bolsters and liners!

Got my first FFA 8OT.

And last but certainly not least... a minty post Walden pre NY USA 8OT w/ its box and papers. I would dare say this might be the second or third most rare 8OT there is?

An 8OTY [listed as a 'Senior Stockman'] sold today on eBay for US$119.
The yellow 'Frontiersman' 8OTY was sold for only one year, that year was 1990.
So I fell the brown box, is not the box the 'Frontiersman 8OTY' came in.
eBay item number:15294119760.

I just love any Schrade 4" knives,
The hard to find 8OTs, are the first Bone and last Blue Bone 8OTs.
Your 8OT is a good find.

I would agree the first bone 8OT may be the rarest/hardest to find, but I don't think the blue bone stockman technically is a 8OT. It was a 100th An limited edition stockman. Of which I have an unfinished example of it.

Now there was a red bone 8OT made in latter years (probably in the mid to late 90s?). Its model was 8OT-RB. It may be the second hardest one to find. Here is an example I have.

For 1990, that might be the correct box. He also had a 8OT, NY USA stamp but no match strike pull go for a whopping $125! That's what ya'd expect a Walden to pull in. Those knives are somewhat plentiful.

Although the Blue Rope-cut Bone ACB8 [with shield and etch] is technically not an 8OT, it is very hard to find.
Your 8OT-RB that came from Schrade without a shield, and came Grooved Bolsters was made in 1985.
IMO, the 8OT Red Bone with the special shield, that was also sold in 1985 in a 3 knife set, was the best 8OT ever made.
The first [1961] 8OT with the Saw Cut Bone, is the hard one to find.

The 8OTY knife was sold in the wrong box, this is the box for the 'Frontiersman 8OTY'

Aside from the original bone 8ot there was a version they made that was the same but with strange shrinky dink handles and I think a black synthetic sawcut (maybe delrin) walden 8ot that is pretty scarce. The red bone 1985 8ot’s are scarce and don’t show up often despite not being particularly old.
