I can tell you this much....the reserve is higher than I'm willing to go.

I bid $75 on the last one in w5rwu's I.D. Is that ok?

I will NOT bid on the 2OT! - - Either one !
(I sent that last "controversial" clunker back for a full refund!)
'nuff said!

What was the story on the clunker?

I guess the 7 is silent on that pattern.

The back of the main blade was peened over from hitting something (driving tacks?); ugly. The main blade (also ground down) and handles (cracked) were worse in person than in the pictures. I have to hand it to the seller though (actually, I mailed it to him ), he gave me all my money back, so I was only out return shipping.

today on ebay a 36 OT NIB (tan) sold for $201.55. an 897UH NIB (gray) sold for $35.01. these knives are from "a wearhouse (sic) of knives from an old knife shop in Pennsylvania that closed years ago". is this price close to a record for a regular run Schrade (i.e., not Schrade/Walden) ? and, are these old knife shops that close, yet keep their stock for a decade or more, a regular occurrence ?
