Y'all got any MODIFIED Schrades (& Old Timers...)
Dale sent me some beautiful modified Old Timer pics. SO.... I thought I would start a thread so he AND ANYONE ELSE could post up your pics of mods or restorations you did (OR others did) on Schrades.
I have one I already posted elsewhere of a 125 OT that I found at the antique store with a messed up set of scales. But, to kick off this thread I thought I would show it again.
BEFORE.... After..... I did a pretty heavy mod to it.....
I re-tipped it.
I put on the "dog chew" scales.
AND... I removed the liner lock. (I also cracked my scales by over tightening my rivets)
It was a learning experience..... I still use it.... It's a pretty good knife.
Anyway....
Show us some mods OR repairs!

Re: Y'all got any MODIFIED Schrades (& Old Timers...)
Woohoo, the heavy hitters are showing up! Some absolute beauties from H. Williams and our own Dale!
Mike, it's some kind of burl, but I can't seem to remember what it is, sorry.

Re: Y'all got any MODIFIED Schrades (& Old Timers...)
Mike wants me to post some of my early knives.
I think most of these come from 2007 or 2008.

Dale has done several fixed blades for me. Here is the first one I got from him several years ago, a 165OT in stag.
Here is a 165OT re-handled by Herman Williams.

Re: Y'all got any MODIFIED Schrades (& Old Timers...)
Here is a Primble I purchased that still had factoey edge a few years back, then had saw cut amber bone scales added. I carry this almost daily. Also an early Schrade Walden I purchased and had smooth redbone scales added. The last was a rusty early 70s 8OT I purchased with factory edge..it sat in someones dambp basement for 40plus years..it cleaned up super nice and got a 2nd chance.
