808 open stock vs. 108OT
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2019 3:39 pm
I still can't settle on a favorite discreet sheeple friendly edc.
I've been using an equal end single spring pen knife alternating with a super little Boker 9903 peanut but I also need a sheep foot blade for precise cuts and that makes the Schrade 108OT ideal, but the good ones are a bit over budget. I already have a beautiful little Camillus #77 whittler with a caping blade but I don't want to risk damaging or losing it, and somehow it doesn't get the praise of the 108OT.
Recently I discovered the Schrade 808 open stock model.
It's not a 108OT but apparently I can't find any difference between the two. Is the 108OT really a 808 renamed to fit the OT series? because both models ran concurrently for a long time.
Or is there a difference besides the name that I'm missing?
Does the OT name make the 108 more popular with collectors?
Which model is easier to find on sale?
