Anyone has these two knives that could put up pictures of them side by side? Round bolsters case would be preferred. Thank you!
 
Three of my regular EDC Stockman knives. Top to bottom; Schrade 8OT, Case 6318SS, Schrade 34OT. OH

If you like the rounded bolsters, there were some Old Timers made that way, but they are less common than the 34OT.
The Ulster 58OT and Schrade 61OT come to mind. :thumbup:
 
Wow, that is mighty strange. The photo was originally taken with an iPhone, but loaded onto my laptop computer in a photo file - the blade tips in the picture point right on my laptop screen in the photofile and in the view I see posted on Blade Forum. Weird. OH
 
You must have gotten an Australian iPhone.

Or maybe you're seeing it correctly, and the picture is upside down for everyone else. :D
 
The 61OT is also longer than a standard stockman, making it easier to control. And the serpentine shape is a near perfect fit for my own hand.

Unfortunately it is a less common model. A lightly used example should be reasonably priced, if you can find one listed. At a large auction site there is exactly one listed right now - it's listed incorrectly and is in pretty rough shape. Talking about the original USA-made Schrade Old Timers here, made with 1095 carbon steel and not the current stainless imported reproductions.

Here's a comparison photo I have handy, showing the various sized Old Timer stockman patterns. Seems it's missing the Ulster 58OT, which has rounded bolsters like the 61, but smaller. Too bad there's not a Case thrown in for comparison too.
