According to Robert Clemente's A Catalog History of Schrade Knives, the 98OT Ramrod was first produced in 1982 and last produced in 1997. The 98OT is a three bladed knife with no tweezers or toothpick. It is more likely that his knife is a 96OT Bearhead Trapper. Those were produced from 1992 thru 2004.

Here is the 98

The 96OT is now also made by Taylor Schrade in China, so check to see if yours says: Shrade/U.S.A. 96OT, making it an original Schrade. roland
