By actual release do you mean was it a factory schrade while the company was still in business?knifeaholic wrote:Was that 893 an actual Schrade release?
I have seen it as the Norm Thompson knife and as the OT version with sawcut handles, but never in that configuration.

Re: Don't miss out
Here's another one to jump on. Can't last long. With certain exceptions those old switchblades that go for high prices were really pretty much junkers. This one started life kinda medium ugly and went downhill from there. There seems to be a competition on Ebay these days for the most assinine listings. The seller's text description does not merit awards for accuracy or rendering of the English language. Your mileage may vary (probably not).

Then yes it was. There is no listing of it in the catalogs but it was made for wal mart, exclusively, as far as I know.knifeaholic wrote:yesKnifeSlinger#81 wrote:By actual release do you mean was it a factory schrade while the company was still in business?knifeaholic wrote:Was that 893 an actual Schrade release?
