Lots of people grew up with the Buck 110 and its Puma clone. I grew up with the 7OT Cavebear. Got one from a neighbor, broke the tip off (stuck it in a fencepost while working outside in the snow, and snapped the tip off). I sharpend a point back on, but it wasn't the same. Sold it on fleabay years later. Got a 7OT, brand new, before I sold it, and that has gone by the wayside too. Got a smaller lockback, with the thong hole, I believe the 6OT, and gave that to a friend. All great knives. Now I want one again. I have a possible trade for a small graphic Sebenza in the pipeline, two custom Kepharts and a custom PSK in a trade. However, I still find myself thinking of these Schrade lockbacks. Grew up on them. Funny how I need to have my Ritter Grip when I head out the door. I got along just fine with a 7OT for years and years.
