Can someone explain the basic difference between these models and what makes one so desirable?

The 8OT is a Premium Stockman (nominally 4") while the 34OT is the Medium Stockman at 3-5/16". Both are serpentine framed, square bolstered pocketknives. Schrade USA was known for making quality knives at standard prices. In my opinion their pocketknives were the Chevy or Ford of the knife world, while Case was the Cadillac and Buck was the Oldsmobile - not a perfect simile, but as good as you will get from this educated redneck. They were also well respected for the edges their blades achieved using 1095 family blade steel. You got a lot for the money with a Schrade knife. OH

Thanks, but the reference to those cars is over my head as I am English.

If you use Jaguar and rolls Royce as comparisons I will get it... 🤣
 
Mail call! Just came in this afternoon. This ol' Schrade is MINT! Old Hunter Old Hunter even sent a hand written note with it which was very much appreciated 👍

Gotta pass the K9 sniff test 🤣

Thanks again Bruce! I'll be sure to give this one plenty of pocket time. (It's already made it's way in there this afternoon) 😉

You are surely welcome, hope it serves you well! Just so you know, that box is not original to the knife, that is a later style box that I had, which the knife could fit and ship in. OH
