Has anyone here got an 83OT ??

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

As near as I can tell, two bob is between 13 and 14 U.S. cents, so I am giving you extra measure of credibility. :D
There are plenty of sloppy threes out there, but in those two patterns there are NO EIGHTS! NONE! NADA! ZERO! Get over it!

Hey remember when you were a kid,and they had those comics books that had two pictures that looked exactly alike until you really started looking at them and then you had to circle the one that did not match the real picture.In my opinion it seems the 83OT knife tang letters are smooched together(is that a word for knives)and the S on the 830T name is not plumb with the other letters in the line it appears askew not in line.
Honey do you have your pocket knife ? Do I have my pants on?
