Good grab! I have several of those. Why? Because they came in different flavors! Blue, green, burgandy, black and orange handles!

I love those Safe-T-Grip handles but I not to fond of the steel they used on those knives. They can get some really nasty rust pits if you don't keep them clean.

Please dont mention the orange handles Codger..they used to be amongst the scarcest <is that a word?> to find as there was a genuine SFO of I believe one box <containing 50> and I had most of those examples obtained from the closure sale....now its hard to find one that isnt orange as like so many current Schrades they are being cobbled together <recently> Post 2004.....handles put on genuine blades....I question the validity of the current sheaths being offered with them <Chinese?> and you never see them offered with the genuine Schrade 'Sharp Idea' box that the SFO examples came in marked/stamped correctly 147OTO <'O' for Orange> on end flaps...I believe you have a 'correct' set Codger....
Guyon they are great knives to use in fishing and I have sold dozens <mostly green handle variety> to fisherman/charter fishing operators in my home town of Port Lincoln and Kangaroo Island as the buyers state they give positive grip in the wet,hold their edge fantastic and can be used by relatively 'non fishing' folk on charters when learning how to correctly fillet their fish they catch....Hoo Roo

This'n skunt a deer this winter.



One good thing about my having landed all of my examples just after the closing is that they are all the real McCoy. Even though the handles were molded hither, thither and yon (U.S., Ireland and Pacific rim).
