What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
My thinking on those green 36OTs is that they 'evolved' from a Ducks Unlimited Greenwing knife. What do you think? I've only ever seen a couple of them with the Old Timer shield. I like em!
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I've seen the small United States Senate souvenir knives (DL-2) but this is the first LB7 I've come across with that blade etch. Knife was rough but cheap. I thought the etch was interesting.

Not many of these around, I guess. 1953 and 1954 in the catalogs.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Not sure just how rare this one is as far as Old Timer 8OTs go. Certainly not as rare as a bone 8OT. But the ones with Schrade over N.Y.U.S.A and 8OT on the pile side are a bit elusive for me to find. I assume this was the stamp used for early 74 production before switching to putting 8OT on the mark side? I've seen only one other pop up on feebay and I missed out on getting it. Found this one recently. Picked it up cheap, since it wasn't all shiny n stuff. We all know, shiny sells.

I think you are right about that. The question is "For how long?" I don't know.... 6 months? two years? ?gwelker62 wrote: I assume this was the stamp used for early 74 production before switching to putting 8OT on the mark side?
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I could only speculate. The catalogs aren't much help since they are drawings. They don't even indicate a match strike pull on a 8OT from what can tell.tongueriver wrote: I think you are right about that. The question is "For how long?" I don't know.... 6 months? two years? ?

You don't see many stag Scrades Eric.
You guys sure have a handle on Scrade's knives and history.
A lot of you guys have seen this one before,but we have several posters I do not know so here's my entries:

Beautiful knives Eric, Lyle and Paul
Here's one that is not exactly rare but to find it with an etch is pretty hard.
