Awhile back I picked up a group of used knives and there were some beaters in the bunch.One of them was an 8ot and it was rusted so bad I had to use pliers to open the blades.
The thing that caused me to soak it in Kroil for 2 weeks and clean it up was the nail pull.I have several other 8ot's and a slew of Old Timer 34's and some other OT folders,but this is the only one with a nail pull like this.
It also has the 3-line tang stamp:
Schrade
N.Y. U.S.A.
8OT
I have confidence that the forum experts can date this nail pull/tang stamp combo,so help me out,fellers!
What year did Schrade drop the N.Y. from the tang stamp?
Thanks,
Ron
