Schrade USA 165

[poa]

I have a Schrade USA 165 knife with sheath and a Buck 110 with sheath. I can't figure out how to put pics with this post. I've read on here that the Old Timer is pre 1974. Is that high carbon steel? I don't know much about these except they are old. Any information would be appreciated. Value? Years? Rare or plenty of them? Thank you!

But I'd recommend cruising eBay and look at similar knives in similar condition, and look at how much they sold for.


If it's marked "Schrade +", then it's stainless. For that time period it would have been 440A.
If it's just marked "Schrade" then it's 1095 carbon steel.

Thank you! Sorry for the value question. I figured it was carbon steel.
