Picked these up today. Two models I have been looking for were given to me this morning as a late birthday gift. A schrade 123OT NIB and a schrade 899 old stock NIB. Both of these knives are flawless. I mainly wanted a 123 to carry, but I can't bring myself to pocket such a clean knife. Also got a whole set of kutmaster ropes and a hawk, all mint unsharpened unused. large and small ropes in both plain edge and serrated, strikingly similar to the M. Klein and sons I have, camillus also made one, so who made what for whom? I also picked up a couple more for trading material (you listening Dale?). Both kutmasters, a mint three blade electricians andd a mint two blade electricians with a serrated edge.
I've got one of those knives made by Klein Tools of Chicago. Appears to be like the one second from bottom in your pic. It's in great shape. Is it worth anything?
klein tools still sells carbon steel knives in all the popular configurations. they still use the wood grain plastic on their handles and are excellent carrys. nice herd there kaleb.
xlnt schrades kaleb. makes it ok to celebrate another year. congrats.
