Schrade 8OT with New Rough Rider Bone Handles

Post by Jeffinn »

I just finished up this nice old 8OT with its original blades. The sheepsfoot blade looked like it had been replaced but the swinden keys were still intact so I guess it just never got used.
I saw some Rough Ryder jigged bone slabs on the SMKW website and they were fairly priced so I figured Id give them a try. The green ones used on this knife are a nice bright green. Definitely a different shade than the hunter green slabs from Culpepper. And all in all, they weren't too bad. I didnt notice any serious voids in the bone and the color saturation looks to be pretty decent.

That looks like the same color they used on their Loom Fixers.

Great color, and a good pattern on the jigging.
You sure know how to make some knives look pretty!!!

I wonder if that knife accidentally came from the factory with one Stainless blade and two carbon?
That's what it looks like to me.
