Carried a 330OT Jack by Taylor for 2 days and it cut just fine.

So far so good with Taylor made Old Timers! ::tu::

I'll have to get a pic of my early post-closure Schrade that is a Kentucky Rifle model of the 8OT/881. I bid too quickly on the auction site without paying much attention, not realizing it wasn't US made. I ended up winning.

The sheep's foot blade had an uneven factory grind, so I spent 30 min or so evening out the grind with a coarse diamond stone. After I finally got an even burr, I took it all the way to 7000 grit. I think this blade is now the sharpest blade of any knife in the house.

I keep the knife in the armrest console in my pickup. No complaints about this knife now.

I recently found myself missing the 34OT that I lost years and years ago, so I picked up one of the new ones. It's a nice little knife. No big gaps anywhere, the bevels are even on all three blades, and it holds an edge pretty well. If I had a complaint, it would be that the main blade has a halfstop that is no where near as crisp and "snappy" as a Case or a GEC. But, it does have a halfstop, which the Case and US made Buck medium stockmen don't have. (I like halfstops) To me it would be a bargain at twice the price. I'm currently going through sort of a mini-trapper phase, and I like my Middleman well enough, that when I saw a 94OTY Gunstock Trapper, I scooped it up. Same story, everything looks good, and it's got halftops on both blades. Again, sort of "mushy" and vague halfstops, but they do stop. For less than 25 bucks apiece, these knives are nothing to sneeze at! ::tu::

How are those with this saw (Son of a Gun, Buzzsaw Trapper) in comparison to USA saws? Those work well, and I can't find either of those models at an affordable price.

Here is a couple I picked up awhile back. Seem to be of decent quality but haven't used them so I can't comment on their edge retention.

Bought this OT at Walm@rt on sale after Christmas. Have carried in since. Great knife. Rock solid. Gets razor sharp easily and holds its edge well.

Yeah nice looking. It’s a liner lock with a pocket clip and a flipper. 4.5 closed. Blade 3.25. Came in a package deal with a real buster of a Bowie knife. A 10 inch blade I believe. Will send a pic of that one too. Both knives for $9.99 clearance price. Great deal.

Now there's a series of Uncle Henries in D2. While I've swore off Chinese knives, these are really, really tempting. But, they are priced pretty highly. They seem to be of decent quality. Real stag scales too.

For me it depends . They use a few different steels , some of which I'm not in favor of and a couple that I'm good with .

I purchased a " magic " assisted folder and the blade is Aus 8 , which is ok . They have a cr7 that is ok too . Their 400 stuff and the cr3 stuff is a no go for me . For some reason , i cant sharpen the cr3 very well and it frustrated me .
As fa4 as the construction of them , for the most part they're good , especially for the money


Imho , the American knives were better , especially the Derlin. The newer ones have much lighter weight Derlin and I don't like the feel and weight of it . I also prefer carbon steel , but these days it's damn near all stainless

I bought my son a newer sharp finger, which I'm a fan of that pattern big time . His just feels weird along without having the carbon steel ... meh . It did have a decent sheath

I hadc an orange camo China schrade that I used for work and I liked the hell out of it . I believe i left it on a roof out if town , and my luck , haven't been able to find another

For the money, they make a good knife for a work knife and are good to get for the boys ... they'll learn how to sharpen , no doubt
