Old Timer or Master Mechanic or both

[Lexus5544]

I have a knife where the blade is marked MM89. From my research that indicates it's a master mechanic. The pictures I've seen of them have Master Mechanic on the knife. However, this one has Old Timer on the knife.

Is this normal? Is it a mixed up mess, a Master Mechanic or an Old Timer?

Any information much appreciated.

Thanks

Well, it's definitely the 89OT.

I forget why the master mechanic was used......I think it was a SFO for somebody.

One of the Schrade experts will be along shortly

Lexus,

The Schrade Master Mechanic knives were sold at True Value Hardware Stores

I've seen them with both Master Mechanic and Old Timer on the shields

I have this same knife in a second. It is also stamped MM89.

And Ozzie is correct, of course.

Schrade produced a lot of knives for True Value Hardware ! They were produced with the master Mechanic Shield and the Old Timer shields. Many of the Master Mechanics also had an etching on the main blades.
