Found me a 97OT at the gun show

[Meridian_Mike]

Hello everyone.
I found this 97OT at the gun show last weekend. I am wondering what the little extras are really meant to be used for.
IOW, I know this knife was set up for a (maybe sporting) purpose. After the main blade there is a saw. Then there is something that looks like a nice vert pick for a flintlock (LOL). Then the last piece is a heavy duty set of tweezers.
Anyway, does somebody know the purpose for this knife?

The 97OT was only made for a couple of years (2000 - 2003 ?) but i see it as The Most Useful of all Schrade patterns. Often it takes less effort to saw through branches/sticks than to cut through with a knife blade. Also works for minor carpentry trimming and can saw bone too if you want to brush up on your orthopedic skills.
The pick works well as a scribe, e.g. mark wood where you want to saw, etc. Also good for poking into something and saving tip of clip blade. Tweezers are for your eyebrows, silly.

Roland is right; the poker is fer pokin', but the tweezer are fer cactus. Trust me.

LOL.... OK... I can see that. A poker fer pokin'.
Makes perfect sense to me!

That's a good find, those are fairly tough to get for an OT.

COOL... Glad I added it to my collection. I knew that was the first one I ever saw in the wild.
