I didn't think of it until I took another look at that red bone knife, but it has the same red bone as this knife I have and it looks to have the same shield. Or in my case an engraving plate. Is that etched shield extra thick and protruding from the bone. The one on my knife is. It's just interesting to me to see those similarities since I haven't before.dweb1897 wrote:Here's a couple SFO 8OT's with jig bone handle. The red one has a triple zero prototype serial #.

I got one with black scales and brass ends and the shield is brass also!.Mustanger wrote:I didn't think of it until I took another look at that red bone knife, but it has the same red bone as this knife I have and it looks to have the same shield.

Mustanger, The shield on mine sets just flush with the jigging. I sure like that one of yours, I've got a soft spot for the turkish clip.Mustanger wrote:I didn't think of it until I took another look at that red bone knife, but it has the same red bone as this knife I have and it looks to have the same shield.

This 823 just showed up in the mail. I think it will probably clean up pretty good.

Re: More elusive 8OT's
I actually mis-remembered how that shield sets in the handle of my knife. I do that a lot these days. As you can see in the picture it gives the appearance of riding high because of the rounded edge. I felt silly after posting that. I guess your red stockman didn't sell? I was watching it and wanted to buy it but too many other priority knives came up for sale. I thought your stockman would be a nice companion for my slenderino. I almost bid on the 823 too. Too many nice knives and not enough money. I'm glad you got it. That is a great addition to your slenderino collection. That is the only one I remember seeing for sale. It might be a long, long time before I see another one since they were only cataloged from 1953 to 1958. I hope you post another picture of the 823 when you get done rubbing on it. I wondered how far I would go to clean up those blades if I did buy it. You do some nice work on blades. It looks like you may have started on it already since it looks better in your picture.dweb1897 wrote:

As a Farmall nut, that first one is a really neat piece. The term "White Demo" refers to the fact that many of the tractors IH used for demonstration purposes were painted white.dweb1897 wrote:Here's a couple SFO 8OT's with jig bone handle.

Re: More elusive 8OT's
The knice mailman brought me a 1959/60 yesterday afternoon. I haven't decided whether to carry it or not; I do have another safe queen. This one has some faint pitting streaks; looks like a little water sat inside for a bit a long time ago on just one side. Otherwise, it is clearly UNUSED.

Re: More elusive 8OT's
Calvin that is a very special 8OT. It is the best example of an early bone 8OT i have seen. The others did not show the saw cut marks which i think are easily worn off with just a little pocket time.
The red handled knife at top of page does not look like a USA Schrade to me.

Re: More elusive 8OT's
Somehow I have it in my head (perhaps wrongly) that Imperial Schrade owned the Keen Kutter trademark at the time that this knife was made. Anybody know? I have one of the Spirit of St. Louis knives also. It is available.
