Hello,
A couple pics of my Schrades. My Grandfather gave me the 165 as a Christmas gift back in the mid 90's. I've used it as my primary hunting knife ever since. Last year I was looking for a Schrade knife to give my stepson for Christams, and I ran across the 152 Sharpfinger. Thought it would be a good companion for the 165 so I bid on it. Didn't think much more about them after I won it. This year while cleaning up after hunting season, I started wondering what the deal was with the orange handles. I've since learned (from the knowledgable masters of this forum!) that these models were special orders Schrade made for SMKW. I just picked up the 158OTO Guthook a couple weeks ago on eBay. Looks like the only other OTO in the line of hunters is the 15OTO Deerslayer? Is that correct? Guess I'll be hunting for one of those to round out the collection. Thanks for all the great information! Skeeter
