Another 152OT Variant

[orvet]

Well I got it!
I have been bidding on a 152OT variant and I just got it. You can see it at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...60017980161&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
A 152 with picked Derlin handles from the Schrade Sample Room. I don't know why I like this pattern so much. Maybe it is because my first 152 was a gift from my Grandmother. It was given to her by her cousin who was an Imperial Sales Rep. Or maybe it is because Codger keeps writing about them. Or Maybe because I have a bunch of 152 blanks that I have finished. Or maybe I just like them because they are cool.

I probably paid too much, but I was willing to go quite a bit higher, so I guess I got a good deal. $49 with shipping & insurance. Not bad for a Sample Room knife. In reality it probably isn't too much different from my 152UH.

orvet , one can never have too many 152's !!! You never know when you might
be forced to skin a bear . I paid $43 for a 152uh NIB. I think you did good.

Dale, The certificate alone is worth the purchase price, dontcha think? that is a neat looking little knife though, and by the way the price is right in the ball park. The only way you could lose money would be if Codger put all his on the market at one time.

The only way he would loose money then would be if he bought each and every one of them!

You are right Paul. I hadn't noticed that I got a Certificate with it or I would have bid $75.00.....NOT :barf:

The only use I can think of for the certificates, is to tape them in a roll and use them for emergency TP on a camping trip. They aren't as good as the real thing, toilet paper that is.
