I have a couple of these. One I got when I was a teenager the other I have no idea where I picked up. This one is carbon 1095 maybe? It has seen some abuse possibly it was used as a hammer a few times by a 17-21 yo boy/man. Anyways I sharpened it up and took a few pics. Any info you might have as to the age and model would be appreciated. The one that I bought would have been 1992 or so Im thinking it is the other one.
Thanks for looking.

The model number is part of the tang stamp, 7 OT.

Here's a topic in the Schrade Collectors Forum area with tons of info about the 7OT.

Yours, according to information presented in that topic, dates from 1991 - 1994 and is carbon steel.

1979-1980: 4-pin High Carbon Steel

1990(?) or 1991-1994: 3-pin High Carbon Steel

1995-2004: 3-pin Schrade+ stainless

Unfortunately Old Timer knives, especially the common models, have little value when in used condition. Looks like a good user though.

Thanks a bunch. I guess this is the one I EDC when I was a young man then. It has cleaned a few deer and took care of lots of farm chores.

You're good. But if you want to know more about the 7OT or any other Schrade products, you should be aware that there is a Schrade Collectors sub-forum.
