I found this older Schrade 8OT

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

Nice find. Did you find it for sale, in a drawer, in grandpas stuff, or where?

It also looks like the wooden box that ID`s this as a first run 8OT with bone handles. This is an incredible find, same league as a new in box 2OT.
I am jealous as heck. Nearly 40 years od Schrade collecting and i have never found an available first run bone 8OT.

Thanks guys, I probably could barely have gotten a Chinese 8OT current production for what I paid. It's nice, unused has dried out factory oil on the pivots.

I see this as a $350-$400 find. There are not many new in wooden box with factory grease undisturbed.

Pile Driver,

I have a rather Extensive Schrade Collection, unfortunately, I do not have that knife (In that condition) in my collection. If you decide that you would like to see that knife with her family members (In my Collection...lol) I would be extremely happy to bring her home for an extended visit!

I would pay all fees associated with relocating her!
