hey guys got this today in a sack that was a knife collecters dream. the bag contained a complete scrimshaw set all mib with white sleeves and all paperwork with all matching serial #'s(0625) also a ixl master set mib with matching serial #'s(m1497)---i'll post pics of these later.
what steals the show is this pre---production 51ot with this letter that was folded up in the bottom of it's box----truley amazing---i felt like i was opening a time capsule from the schrade gods of past!!! i was't worth a sh*t at work the rest of the day(just ask orvet). any way enjoy the pics. the knife is just how it came out of the box after 25 years in my golfing buddies closet. the packaging oil residue is yellow and gummy---it needs a gentle cleaning. notice the serial #0031 wrote on the white sleeve also---read the letter carefully.
thanks for letting me crow !!!!!----------seeya, brady

Sounds to me like you had yourself one heck of a good day.

Nice score on the Schrade.

When can we see the rest of your bounty?

Yes, Brady was excited, I mean who in their right mind wouldn't be excited?
He sent me one e-mail with pictures of the 51OT. The first e-mail was pretty coherent considering the treasure trove that had just been dropped in his lap.
Then he sent me a second e-mail (four times) with pictures of the rest of the knives.
I was laughing so hard I had trouble seeing the pictures.

I could hardly blame him. If someone had walked up to me and handed me those knives, I doubt I would have been as coherent as he was.
Good job Brady!
You lucky dog!
Enjoy those new knives!
