Schrade 8OT with New Rough Rider Bone Handles
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2021 4:08 am
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.
