I recently came across this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/265230436141
Per the guide written by Orvet, at least one 97OT is known to have escaped with a single clip blade and Uncle Henry covers. My hopeful side tells me the knife in the link could be an "end of days" knife. However, my pragmatic side says there are some doubts; namely, the knife has neither pick nor tweezers (nor evidence of having had them) as a 97OT should, and the pins look a little off.
What do y'all think? Did this one leave a Schrade factory like that, or has it been altered?
Pictures are from the listing, of course.

Yep, I agree.... looks factory made.
I had that one on my watch list but I will bow out to you. I hope you can land that one for your collection.

We'll see...but go ahead and put a bid in anyway! Bidding might go over my comfort level, or I may forget about it.Meridian_Mike wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 11:51 am I had that one on my watch list but I will bow out to you. I hope you can land that one for your collection.
