I saw this "combo" knife when it was first listed and thought it was interesting.
It is a 125OT / 227UH combo knife...... LOL
A 125OT handle with the 227UH blade.
I am pretty sure I have a shield I can put in that blank spot to make it whole again.
The interesting thing to me is the age of the knife (Schrade - Walden tang stamp) AND that the tang stamp was "crossed out" by the "OO". (A reject?...LOL)
Do y'all think this knife was assembled at the factory?
Sellers pics....
Anyway...
I thought it was interesting!

Re: I found an interesting old Schrade
The "00" is the correct marking for a second but it is an odd knife. The handles look like they might be bone ??
Perhaps the wrong blade was installed in the Schrade-Walden factory and then marked as a second because handle and blade are not a match ?

Covers are sunburned Delrin. Never solve all the mysteries there but there could be a good story or two if that old gal could talk. Somebody got some use out of her. Maybe someone else we know will get some more?

Re: I found an interesting old Schrade
One thing I noticed about the blade is the swedge almost cuts into the nail nick.
That might be the reason for marking the blade as a second.
Yep, I bet it did get some use. That might be why the shield fell out.
Maybe this knife was cobbled together by a Schrade employee for their own use.... It is just fun to think of the possibilities!
Yep, and I sure hope I can get some more use out of this old girl.
