Schrade Old Timer Question.

[blademan44]

Did all the Schrade Old Timers come in 1095? I have several Old Timers and just
wanted to know if all were done in 1095.

Thanks,

Unless the tang has Schrade+ on it, the blade is 1095 high carbon steel. If the tang has Schrade+ on it (like the 7OT for example), then the blade is 440A stainless steel.

If the blade is marked SCHRADE+, it's stainless. Most of the last Old Timers were stainless, and most of the older Old Timers are high carbon. Some exceptions though, the 126OT is an older model, the stainless version of the 125 Mustang. I've also read that at the very end some knives were made by mixing carbon and stainless blades and some blades may not be stamped correctly.

Best Wishes,
Bob
