It should continue to serve you well. Good beefy blade and a very long production history.

Yes, 1095 HC on all but the very last production, most of which were for special factory orders.

I have the same knife but it is stamped Craftsman USA. I bought it at Sears back in the early 70's. I am glad I kept it all these years.

Sears was a long time customer of the Baer brothers. They bought the first production of the 15OT as a market experiment.

This is the first issue example new in it's box. It is /was a part of my collection stolen a few years ago.
