Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?

Re: 108OT long pull

Thanks KnifeSlinger. The tang stamp was also XX'ed out as a factory 2nd due to some factory error. I don't know if that's relevant. the sheepsfoot blade was bent sideways and rubbed against the pen blade. That was so easily fixed I'm wondering if there's another fault that I'm missing completely.

Re: 108OT long pull

..... A 108ot from 1967 would be schrade walden stamped and have a long pull. The one you show is a post 1973 knife and was also made after they stopped using long pulls on the main. IMG_5493.JPG Does this mean that my long pull was made before 1973? Or maybe later but with a long pull blade that h...

It’s nice knowing your knife’s date, Jerry.
I thought maybe my long pull might indicate an approximate date. The nail nick seems more popular.

Re: Ulster Old Timers

I recently found out about the Ulster 58OT (thanks kj) but my research turned up two measurements, 2 3/4 " and 3 1/4 ". Which is correct? They don't seem very available, probably a short run or special order. Does any other more popular knife of the same size use the same pattern, especial...

Re: I've got the world's finest at last...

:lol: You guys never fail to surprise. Instead of getting beat over the head I'm getting favorable responses. I suppose " Finest " is rather more vague than saying "Best Pocket Knife ", so we can excuse Schrade for their pride in the 897UH which turned out to be probably the long...

Re: Barlow Scales?

I wood ::facepalm:: choose good old warm natural wood with its almost infinite choices, from traditional maple to Brazilian Ipe with its fire rating of steel and concrete :shock: and it'll last forever. ::tu::
There's also colorful recon stone which is a good durable substitute for celluloid.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. 3 3/8 exactly. The sellers picture didn't show the gassing out but he said it is celluloid. There may even be a thin shiny clear coat varnish covering the scales and bolsters but I can't be sure. So now I have an interesting (gassing out ) conversation piece for $27...
