I just ran across a 6OTX on the auction site. I hadn’t ever seen one before. I had no idea that schrade USA had made such an animal. How do they hold up? I’m still in shock.

Typo, sorry. It’s a 6OTX. A google search of that reveals its common to others knowledge. I didn’t know schrade had made a pocket clip thumb stud style knife. And I’ve been a schrade enthusiast for 20 years.
 
Hi JM2 from Australia,
Schrade made quite a number of pocket clip thumb stud style knife, from 2000 to 2004.
Starting with the Lake & Walker "LW1", the X-TIMER "6OTX and 7OTX" came in 2002-2003.
Schrade was starting to have parts and the Badger [another pocket clip thumb stud style knife] - made in China, before they closed down in 2004...........Ken
This is the Schrade Badge, made in China before they closed down in 2004.

Thanks for the info. I was upset when I learned of schrade closing. I always had been a schrade fan and user, but didn’t keep up with their latest models back then. As a teenager and young adult, case and buck were too expensive and schrade was the working mans alternative.

I remember the made in Ireland knives they made. Black handles and sorta thin stainless blades. I regret swapping a couple I had back then. Only the keychain version remains in my possession.

They hold up reasonably, it is an aluminum handle and the blade is plenty stout. However, the examples I’ve had were very rudimentary in construction, I have previously noted that I believe that might be one of the problems that caused the lineup to cease. The ones I had were new in box and the pivot screw was wonky- meaning that it wasn’t a perfect fit, so even if everything was tight as it should be the pivot would rock side to side. The aluminum handles were comfortable albeit kind of sharp on the edges, but the blade profile I actually liked quite a bit. If they were finished/constructed a little bit better, I think they would have been a real competitor as far as modern budget knives go!

I appreciate you sharing. Ive seen that display before but didn’t pay much attention to the 7otx. I was looking at the tradesman series.

When I was about 15 or so I had a stockman out of the tradesman line. It had a serrated sheepsfoot blade, an awl, and a large clip blade. I, being a youth, decided I could remove the serrations with a file. The result was a ruined knife. I sure regret that now.

I also had a 4” lockback from that series, half serrated blade. I think I swapped it off to a buddy. Course at the time I didn’t know schrade was at an end.
