Early Christmas Present

[orvet]

My wife & I had a early gift exchange today with my stepson and his two girls, ages 5 & 8. They are leaving tomorrow (provided I can get them through the ice to the train station) for North Dakota to visit their other Grandfather.
My darling wife gave me a 156OT that she had purchased for me on ebay. OK, so I hinted, so did she and she got the electric Skillet she wanted too. Anyway I have a shiny new 156OT and am very happy!

Merry Christmas everyone,
Dale

It's a nice knife. I picked up an eBay 156OT as well.

Solidly built little knives with good balance. Mine did have a very uneven grind, but I've been slowly reprofiling on a Sharpmaker, and it's coming along nicely. Should be quite the slicer.

Great early present!

Mine had a good grind. It was even sharp, as evidenced by the bare spot on my arm.

Those are interesting little knives. I bought mine on eBay a couple of months ago. Wonder if there was a stash in the warehouse? I've never seen them until Schrade went out of business. And mine came in a generic black sheath that doesn't match the knife, and probably wasn't even made by Schrade. Mine isn't particularly sharp, but the edge is smooth and even.
