It looks like you may have saved it before it was too late. Looks like there's still some life left in it. It's sad to see the condition it was in.

yes wish i would have caught it sooner ,but i totally forgot about this poor knife and yes its crazy how something so common at the time becomes a collectors item !

I've had several get like that after just a couple months - the old Schrade carbon steel would start to rust in a day's time if I wasn't careful.

On the other hand, I like finding them like that at flea markets & garage sales. They usually end looking as good as or better than the OP's knife; not because of my mad skilz, but because of U.S. Schrade's use of rugged, quality materials.

My door is open to any all old U.S. Schrade rusty tetanus farms. Send 'em on over!
