8 OT with slotted bolsters

[delmas2nd]

just got this in and was wondering about the bolsters. i have never seen the slotted bolsters on a 8 OT before. what years did this run?

Probably after 1983. Left over bolsters from the Heritage Series?

Is it bone or delrin?

Maybe it's 'sandbar stag'.

Maybe it's 'sandbar stag'.

Hard to tell from the pictures to be sure but it looks like DURLIN to me.

I've seen boners with the slotted bolsters, haven't seen one with Derlin or Sandbar Stag...

That is a 1983 Lunch-box special, made using the Heritage bolsters.
There was a 33OT the same, posted here last week.

thanks for the info and the handles are definitely delrin, wish they were sandbar they would fit right nicely in that collection of mine (thank you so much Mr. Herman)

I'm with Codger that photo looks like DULL- RIN to me. Please up-load some good photos, when posting.

You mean kind of like Johny Cash's Cadillac?

For you folks that may be wondering what I'm talking about.

That is the first time I've heard that song. I have always been a Johnny Cash fan.
So you think it maybe a 1983-84-85-86-87-88-89 model. No matter, it is still a nice knife...

Not heard that often, so I figured I'd better post it for clarification of what I meant in reference to Johnny Cash's Cadillac.
And yeah, I would expect a hand picked "lunch box knife" would be nice.

Okay, what's this one? Are these Heritage bone scales and bolsters with an 8OT blade? A lunchbox Caddy? I know that the box is bogus.

Here is another head scratcher for ya.

Those were sold by Schrade just like that. Making some sales with leftover parts from the Heritage Series, with 8OT carbon blades. No shield or etch. These have been discussed several times before.

Ah, I was wrong. I guess in a sense they are 'parts knives' but because of the tacky way that the box for the red one is labled, (with the bar code covered up and hand writting on the end), that someone had paired the boxes with knives that didn't belong. They are purdy! Thanks, thawk.

The Red Bone set of three knives, came in brown boxes with a stick-on white paper marked "8OT RB".
The brown box had a white sleeve over the brown box. I do not know if the case that holds the set came with all three knives at the same time.
I have mentioned this, just to clear up the different boxes, the knives are not alike. Ken
