Finding a U.S. made Schrade.

[Halfneck]

I have been scouring local Pawn shops and almost had a 340T. Sadly the sheepsfoot edge had a ripple in it & the blade was bent.

That said, how safe are the ones for sale on the popular online auction site?

I've gotten quite a few in perfect new condition from Ebay for anywhere from 20 - 30 dollars. If the seller has good feedback you should be safe. To be sure, buy one in a clam pack.

I too have bought several USA-flavored Shrades off of ebay. Just pick a seller with plenty of sales and excellent feedback.

Does this look legit?

I was very against buying via eBay but I eventually realized it was the only viable way. I wanted an LB7 and would up buying a lot of 4 for $150 on eBay in June. The 4 LB7s I got were all in their original boxes with the paperwork and sheaths. I don't think I could have found a deal like that anywhere else. I haven't bought anything else yet but I will in a month or so...the bay is kind of addicting...good luck.

The answer is yes, it looks legit to me. Can't speak to the pricing though.

Oops, I should have mentioned that providing links to active listings is frowned upon. I know that's the case for auctions. I assume it holds true for fixed price listings as well.

Sorry about the link.

The 330T pictured would be 1095 steel correct?

correct 1095 steel, great model too.

The 34ot is one of the easiest models to score on the bay.

I have four now. Most were in the 20-30 dollar range. Brand new in box.

I can't find where it says USA made. Doesn't mean is isn't I just don't see it.

I can't find where it says USA made. Doesn't mean is isn't I just don't see it.

Package says "Made in the U.S.A." down in the right corner.

I did ask the seller if he could show a closer pic of the knife around the tang area.

 

[lwt210]

Looks like all the other USA made clampack models I have seen.

99.9 percent sure that is a pre 2004 USA Schrade. The tang pic SHOULD show 33ot with USA on there when you get it.

There are some left in Hardware stores.I found this one for 30 bucks. My buddy at work was telling me the hardware store near him has some OT's behind the case made in USA.

I just bought 4 knives off Ebay from four different people & two have arrived in record time & the other two are on the way. There are some 34OTs up for bid right now. I will send them an email with a question or an offer. If they respond in good order I will buy from them. If you pay with PayPal your pretty much safe. Sellers with 100% rating are safe.
