Was this one Swinden construction or through-pin?kootenay joe wrote:The 97OT and 96OT at 4 1/8" are the largest Trapper in the Old Timer and Uncle Henry lines. They were first made in 2000. I'm sure Schrade thought they would sell well but they did not so this is likely why there were many "97OT" blades still available in 2004 when the factory closed.
I think the 97OT is The Best of all the Old Timer knives. The saw blade cuts well and does not bind. And there is a steel pick & tweezers in the handle end. It came with a sheath. PERFECT belt carry for the outdoors person.

Now THAT would be a cool folding saw.....orvet wrote:I just had a brainstorm sitting here writing this, I think I will make a single blade folding saw from one of these 97OT innards.
That would come in really handy I think.
