Schrade 98OT

[pauld4]

Can someone please advise whether all the 98ot's were stainless?

According to Clemente's book, they were all stainless steel. It was printed, "Schrade + Stainless Steel."

With Schrade, all is a strong word.

I understand Zonaman. I have three 98OT, all Schrade+.

I also notice that they misspelled Schrade as Shrade in the first line of the ad that IRV posted. Easy to do.

Eyes like a...er...well, a thawk.

If it was introduced as stainless, less likely to move to any carbon blades...than vice versa. Production cost was a factor there, of course.

Eyes like a Thawk.. I like it.
I wonder if the typo makes the flyer worth more?
A little explanation. The flyer is actually from the annual sales meeting manual for 1982. probably printed just before the meeting late in 1981. I hope someone else caught the mis spelling before they went public with it.
Without spell chk its a wonder any of us ever learned to communicate...

P.S.
I never saw the typo. Guess your mind fills in the missing letters.
