Schrade USA GAW (Winner(s) announced) - post #55

[Old Hunter]

In another thread Duncan remarked about my Schrade USA pocketknives and I replied that it was pretty sad the way Schrade USA knives are slowly dying away now, 20 years after their bankruptcy. If you don't own a Schrade USA made Premium or Medium Stockman pocketknife then this GAW is for you, just enter that you are in, and I will give a Schrade USA 8OT or 34OT (your choice) to the winner - hoping that the knife will get carried and appreciated. I'll let this run a week, winner must be a regular on the Traditional sub-forum, you can live anywhere, I'll cover the postage. Representative pictures that I have available below. OH

I'm in, thanks for the opportunity. I think the 340T is close to the perfect pocket knife as far as design goes. I have a chinesium version but have always wanted one of the USA made ones.

 

[afishhunter]

In please, for the 8OT. (A grail for me.)
Thank you for the chance.
If I win, it WILL see a lot of pocket time and use.

Not an entry, but Kudos for a good old USA knife GA, Bruce!!

 

[ZHoovie]

I'm in! Thanks for doing this giveaway. I don't have a Schrade stockman, honestly any Schrade folders come to think of it

Bruce, I could be wrong but something tells me I can’t jump in on his GAW But everybody should have at least 1 USA made Schrade stockman…and a spare???

 

[CVamberbonehead]

Wow, Im in! I had a smaller one once and have always regretted getting rid of it, so I would love to give that some pocket time. Thanks for the chance!

 

[birdsbeaks]

I'm in! My only Schrades are a big and beautiful old Rope Knife and a Schade+ NKCA Trapper in stag. Would love to try one of their stockmans!

 

[Jolipapa]

Not in, I've had more than my share of gifts, among them a few Schrade.
As said above, there should be a Schrade in every home.
Great GAW and good luck to entrants. Large or small, both are great knives !

 

[lambertiana]

Count me in!

 

[scattershot]

I’m in, thanks for the chance.

Very generous giveaway OH.

I remember the Old Timer stockmans being very popular many years ago, but I just never bought one. I still have my Uncle Henry 885 stockman that I bought back in 1970, so I guess I'm not eligible for the Old Timers. Darn it!

Good giveaway, Bruce. Not in as I have a few Schrade stockmen, including the lumberjack I won in a giveaway from yourself a while back.

 

[abbydaddy]

Not an entry for me, I'm covered on the USA made Schrade Stockman front, but I appreciate this GAW. It is good to remember the great tradition of knifemaking this country has.

I have a 34OT that I carried about a decade. BUT, I've since retired it. I have a 4 year old boy... and I believe every boy should have a Schrade USA Old Timer... so he'll probably get that when he's able to handle a knife that takes such a keen edge. I do not have an 80T, but I sure would like one, and I would give it a LOT of pocket time, whittling, and use, so If I quality, considering I have the 34OT, I'd like to enter. Like afishhunter the 8OT is something of a grail knife for me.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again, I sure hate that Schrade went under. Growing up, Old Timer was what the common working folk had, and only rich folks and old men had a Case XX. Schrade was what the boys bought and carried, myself included.

A very awesome GAW, thank you for your generousity.

 

[Side O'Beef]

I'm in for the 8OT. The only OT I have is an 858OT, but a slightly smaller one would be a fantastic carry.

 

[jlester76]

Not in, but very cool of you OH!

 

[afishhunter]

Concerning post number 3 ...
Sorry.
If the 858 Lumberjack counts as a "premium" OT stockman, please remove my name from the hat, since I have one of those.
When I wrote post three, I was "thinking" 8OT Senior Stockman/34OT Middleman Stockman only, which I don't have; either vintage or overseas made.

Also,
Please remove me from the hat if my Imperial (hollow bolster) Bicentenial or Frontier 4435 stockmans count against me.
I want to be honest. If I not eligable, I not eligable.
My apologies for not thinking of those three stockmans earlier.

 

[Badger28]

Awesome give away!

 

[Whetstone39]

Very cool GAW Bruce! I don’t own a Schrade of any kind and don’t think I ever have, strangely. I usually enter for another member of the Porch (well or myself if it is a fixed blade ), but I am in for the 80t. Thanks!
