Swinden construction thread

[tongueriver]

The Swinden construction method for pinning the blades began about the same time as the Delrin revolution, about 1960/1961. We know that some of the patterns never did use this method. My first question is: "Does the 194OT small linerlock use this method?"
And secondly, can we start a list here of the post 1960 Schrade knives that did not use the Swinden method. I will start it off with the big linerlocks.
7OT, LB7, LB8, etc.
51OT
and some smaller lockbacks, the #5 patterns such as the 5OT
All the 5 1/4 inch folding hunters
Please add to the list!

Thank you; keep those cards and letters coming! In the above post I believe a typo? Should be 898UH instead of 889UH?

I have three 194OTs and I cannot tell if they used the Swinden key or not. as for those knives that do not use the Swinden system are the LB5 and the 3OT Bearhead.
