Schrade 8OT Bone

[Shearer]

I was watching this knife and it sold for $610 US ,Would this be a new record price.

Hard to find knife and harder in the box with little paper and string. They demand a hefty price.
I think they are more scarce than the 2OT.

I followed the knife and threw everything I had at it but came up a little short

I have never seen one in unused condition, in its original box and would have loved to own it

I'm hoping that whoever won it, is going to share some detailed photos of the knife, someware on the web, so we can all enjoy it. It would be a shame if the knife ended up in the back of someone's safe

I've got no idea why the 80T would be worth so much, even with the box.

I'd much rather have an 881 Mint, like this one --->http://www.ebay.com/itm/291024637833?ss ... 1555.l2649

They only made the bone handles for about a year than changed to delrin.

I am quite sure in my own mind that this knife has been re-handled. I have original bone-handled 881s and they don't look anything like that. This bone looks very much like that which was put on the Schrade/IXLs in the early 1980s and the Parker contracts of the late 1970s.

All I know is I have a well worn one ( Mine has a crack in the handle ) and Koldgold has one.
If you look at the topic:They are rough sawn bone.

it was a good example of a rare piece of history , although for 600 odd bucks i would have liked have seen it in its original cellophane wrapper and the gold embossed $5.00 price tag , the sale price was outa my league but still a great pickup for someone's collection , i too hope the new owner posts some more detailed pic's
