New Guy Looking For Info ON 180T

[diyer]

I have a 180T that some info on would be great. This has been sitting in the drawer and I thought I would check out the internet for info. I have looked around this site but have not found a manufacturing year.
Any help would be great.

Pattern is the 18OT. The name is an Old Timer Mighty Mite. The blade is 2-3/4″; this clip blade has a liner lock; First manufactured in 1979 Last manufacured in 2004. The last retail price was $22.95. Those turquoise handles are not original to the knife. The original was a brown sawcut delrin handle.

I've never seen any Old Timer with that sort of handles. I wonder if Santa Fe Stoneworks ever used Schrade knives for their product line? Otherwise it's perhaps a tinkering job someone did at home.

Anyone?

I also see similar knives being sold at so-called "Southwestern" gift shops marketed as custom made knives. I've seen similar handles, but much more crude and never made with brand-name hardware, sold by roadside souvenir vendors.

Thank you. I figured the handles were not factory from what I saw on this site.
Thanks Again Fellas
