Camillus and Schrade of Old Given Short Shrift Now-A-Days

[AndreLinoge]

This Schrade Old Timer 8OT has red bone handles and threaded bolsters; I bought it NOS seven years ago, still in a properly marked box. I've never been able to find out why it was made with red bone handles but no shield. OH

Because that's how they made all of those. I've seen grey bone samples too from the same era.
Someone needs to post up a 61ot. My favorite. I would, but imgur hates my device and I'm at work.. there was a 44ot posted up already, rare lady, there.. nice.

61OT? I've got one, not my best picture but this will do for now. Thanks for the tidits on the 8OT Red Bone. OH

This Schrade-Walden TL29 variation was pretty worn by the time it found it's way to me, but it is tight and sharp and will still work. OH

Never found anything practical I could do with a Bowie Knife, except to buy and enjoy them - this was Schrade's version from 1970-71. OH

These Craftsman knives are also Schrade.

Great showing, B. The 294 jack is a knife to lust after! I agree with you on the 165. They look awesome, but the 152 is a lot more useful on game, at least up to deer size.

My 294s and one of my absolute favorites, an 861 with coined liners.

The 861 or 61OT is just such a great knife. Glad to see others love the pattern as much as me!

Hi,

Did someone say Camillus?

I got a thing for the #22 Pony Jack. Seems like everytime I get jonesin' for a new knife, I start looking for another one. I've owned my share of Schrade 8OTs too. They were all I carried back in my youth.
