The proper designation is probably 34OT, not 340T. The OT stands for Old Timer. There is no zero. Meanwhile, I am assuming that the 50 year designation means it is a knife made after the 2004 bankruptcy closing of the Schrade factory. There is no image or any other information so this probably means a Chinese knife. There were no "Fifty Year" knives made before 2004 to my knowledge. I suspect this is a 2009 manufactured Chinese knife made for Stewart Taylor.

Nope... not rare.
Yep, chinese junk.
Blades are too hard.... easily broken
The shields usually fall out within the first couple of week.
Junk.... run away screaming like your teeth are on fire.

I was hoping to hear something better! Anyway here are a couple of photos, and it does appear to be pretty well made.

Doesn’t remotely resemble any Old Timer I ever saw.

Actually I have found that there is a collector for about any knife - style, make, year, condition, maker, model , age etc - in fact there is a forum here on china made knives and often discuss Chinese made Schrade's - so you can see if anybody has more info there - I guess what I'm saying is somebody will have interest in your knife - Thats what makes collecting knives fun , you can collect what suits your eye and pocketbook - good luckformer173rd wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 12:05 am OK....thanks for the insight....off to ebay as a paperweight!
