Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............

I agree with KS, that's probably a EOD knife. But that's not a bad thing tho. I find their departure from the normal production or 'official' release knifes very unique and interesting. And that red bone is a fine example too.

Here some EOD examples I have. They can make for some really good looking Schrades.

I agree with KS, that's probably a EOD knife.

What does EOD stand for?

[gwelker62]

EOD = end of days. Referring the the last days of Schrade when the employees were piecing together knives from the remaining parts inventory.

[KnifeSlinger#81]

In a seperate context it could also mean explosive ordnance disposal knife, which in that case it may end up looking like this....

[Old Hunter]

Schrade 8OT RB - red bone, still NOS in the brown box. I've had it a while, so it's not a new pickup, but it sort of belongs here. OH

Does the end of the box say 8ot or 8ot rb?

Box is ink stamped 8OT RB.

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Box is ink stamped 8OT RB.

Well then I'm stumped. I looked these up and found some random pictures and a thread in bladeforums. Not an EOD, but still not quite standard. Either was its really nice

[gsmith7158]

I got the bottom one in yesterday, got one more coming. These are all mint so far so i'm still looking for one to EDC.

Today's pickups from a little local gun show.
Pleased with the haul, all unsharpened and nice.

Well shiver me timbers...

Guess I'll have to add another 8OT version to my must get list.

It won't end, there's too many variations. I will never be able to stop buying 8ot's and other schrade stocks with the same frame as long as I live

Nice haul Kerry. Where was the gun show ?

[Old Hunter]

Greg, what model of Case Trapper are those - looks shorter than an 07 pattern (guess that could be an optical illusion). All three are nice looking. OH

[Old Hunter]

Kerry, one of your knives appears to be an 18 pattern Case - got a blade open shot yet? OH

[gsmith7158]

Greg, what model of Case Trapper are those - looks shorter than an 07 pattern (guess that could be an optical illusion). All three are nice looking. OH

OH those are 6240's called a dog leg trapper and are actually bigger than a large trapper at 4 7/16 closed.

Greg, don't get so busy buying knives that you forget to make the house payment.

[Old Hunter]

Fine looking knives Greg, and in a Case pattern I wasn't familiar with. Must be a pocket full when front pocket carrying (the 54 pattern is bigger than my preference for EDC). OH

Jerryd I did that yesterday before I left.

OH they are a handful, probably a better back pocket knife than front.

[kootenay joe]

Greg, there is no # 40 pattern in Steve P.'s book. Is the 6240 a "Case Classic" ?

Your right OH it's a 1 dot 79 6318HE. I will get some open blade pics today since the suns out.
Kerry

[Old Hunter]

I'll look forward to seeing your pictures - just got my first 6318HE this past week. I have several 18HP's, but you don't see nearly as many HE's. OH

Kj this pattern was discontinued prior to 1940 and was reintroduced in 1986. It was placed back into the "Case Vault" as they say in the early 2000's. If you click on research at the top of the page then click on Case pattern identification by number you will find more info.

[ludwig26]

Nice haul Kerry. Where was the gun show ?

Show was in Jefferson Ind. a promoter Around here puts one on about every other weekend.
I've been getting some nice knives for a good price. Can't wait for the fall show in Lexington. I think I met you there last year.

Here's a Queen 6110 Stag Series Heavy Jack. It a #10 pattern. These were made in 1983.

[kootenay joe]

Thanks Greg for info on knife & how to use "Research" tab; first time i've tried it.
I had thought that Steve Pfeiffer had every Case pattern in his book, so good lesson for me to not rely solely on his Case guide (which is excellent, well worth owning).
