Re: Anyone collect Schrade from 2000-2004

I really don't consider myself a collector as I use all my knives but I do have a few from 2000-2004. A 194OT Gunstock trapper, a 3OT Bearhead, a 96 OT Trapper, a 98 OT Stockman (SS blades), a 34 OT Middleman, a 285 UH Trapper, and an SWL2 Lake & Walker Liner Lock. All were relatively inexpensiv...

Re: Showing some props for the 18 pattern Stockman

The 18 pattern is my favorite and I was finally able to get a 6318 w/ Punch that I just ordered from Shepherd Hills. I've wanted the Punch version for a long time, they seem hard to find.

Re: Buck 500 series

Anyone have any production numbers or guesses on 500 series knives produced with Micarta handle covers? And which models they did with Micarta? I think it's a 503 my Dad has with brown/Burgundy Micarta it's so worn out the back lock doesn't hold under any pressure. I have always wanted a White Knig...

Re: How do you carry the 301?

Re: How do you carry the 301?

I have three 301's and a 4th on the way. I personally like the spring tension on them. Of course I use mine only to cut with I don't pry or stab so I never have problem. Spring tension seems about the same as my Case knives. ::tu:: ::mdm::

Re: Staying securely closed

Carry the knife IN YOUR POCKET. The blade, still tip down, will be against the back seam of the pocket and will not open. It will also be more secure against loss and theft. Clipped outside the pocket is just asking for problems.

Re: UNION CUT. CO. OLEAN N. Y.

Your knife appears to be a pre-war era model 71. Model 71 was available with several handle options including stag, fiber washer, leather, and celluloid, most with aluminum pommels fixed with a brass spanner or barrel nut. You mention it looks like a smaller version of the famed USMC KA-BAR, well, ...

Re: Old case. Case vs case XX steel ?

I've wondered this ... I have a couple circa 1980 or early 80's Case's that are stainless, and they just get "sticky" sharp - it's a whole different feel than the more modern Case era stainless. It's just an intuitive thing - they just feel sharper coming off the exact same Lansky sharpen...

Re: Case 61549L "Copperlock"

The only thing CopperLocks have in common with 49 pattern CopperHeads is the CopperHead bolster hump that shields the corner of the blade tang when the blade is closed. That is exactly correct. *1549L was a brand new pattern introduced in 1998. Most were bone, hence the 6, one blade (1), pattern 54...

Great thread! But while I like the 07 I still prefer the full size '54 Trapper. Not that much larger and rides well either in my pocket or a belt sheath.
