I just won this one

The handles are Delrin and the blades are Carbon on that age of knife, although I'm sorry to say that he is wrong about the knife never being on a grinder. The main blade is worn down and the sheepfoot blade is really out of shape. Take a look at the picture attached, you can see that the main blade is worn down on the e-bay pic as the nick (choil) near the tang is not there anymore. Many things to take into consideration when buying a knife.
I have been there myself.

You have it pegged. Delrin handles and carbon blades, that look OK. Good deal on that one. Nice pick up. Just like an 8OT. Gotta love the matchstriker nicks. Probably 1973-1976 vintage.

Woops youre right Rusty. I wasn't paying close attention and thought both secondaries were spey.

Sometimes I've lost out on some "buy it now" knives checking them out just a bit too much, some have not been so desirable when checking them out in the closed auction section after the item has been purchased, although some have been right on the money. :mad:

See rusty I thought also that it was a secondary spey of some sort. But over all it looked good to me. I figured it would be good to pick up and see how I liked it.

I think when you get the knife you will like it! These knives with the jigged Delrin are from the open stock range that Schrade made from the 60's up until
the late 70's approx when they left behind using bone handles on their standard range of knives. I have several styles in my collection which add contrast to the Old Timer and Uncle Henry knives.

Hmmm sounds like it will be interesting. I'll be waiting for it here. I hope no later then monday if not sooner. And I was looking at the main blade, it is worn down, but there is still some of the nick left. That means for me, there is still YEARS of service left in it.
