"Herman touched up a 226 for me a bit."
I'd call it a 226OT +
Move the + down a line on the stamp!
Herman sure does make them sing.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Speaking of 761s, here is an oddball. A 761 (or any other 3 9/16" slenderino frame) with classic Rogers bone that Schrade didn't use, and blades out of an 881. A real lunchbox special!
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I've had this unfinished stag-handle 885 for a few months now. I suspect it was intended for a special release that never happened.

Beautiful trio, love those old bones and that comp is sweet too.

Years before the BladeForums edition Buck 301 (which given Buck's construction, I think is a two-spring knife), it is obvious a two-blade, one backspring full-size Stockman was a good idea. And the Rogers bone looks great!tongueriver wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 8:15 pm Speaking of 761s, here is an oddball.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
I am confused by 2 knives on the previous page:
226OT ? The Schrade "Son of a Gun" the 2 blade Folding Hunter with saw blade secondary is the 225OT ?
And "761", what knives are in the 700's ? i know 825, 855, 861, 863, 895, but don't know any patterns in the 700's ?
Is this Old Timers disease ?

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Those 761s were from the early/mid fifties and are slimmed down 861s with the sheepfoot and one of the springs deleted. Probably wasn't too popular or we'd be seeing more of them.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 4:50 am I am confused by 2 knives on the previous page:

The 226OT is the stainless version of the 225OT. The stainless Old Timers were made for Europe but never made their way there. I don't know the whole story on that. From 1992-1994 the factory shipped a total of 953 of them.
On those stainless OTs; there was also a 152 (became a 512 in stainless), a 158 (518) and a stainless 104ot that became a 19ot. I found one of those 19s recently. There could be more patterns that I can't remember at the moment.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Jason, thank you for helping explain my confusion. I never 'got into' the Schrades that were for export to Europe. But i am surprised that i did not know the 761. With Schrade even after years of collecting and reading there is always something 'new' popping up.
