Schrade's carbon steel

[MarkPinTx]

I'd say the imperial steel and blade geometry are pretty close to Schrade for obvious reasons. imperial made a good cutting knife.

I wonder if perhaps we see more Schrades with broken blades, because that is what the workin guys used ?

+1 on this.

My wife's grandfather used this 108OT in his regular farm duties and broke the sheepsfoot at some point. I hear he was a cautious man, but he probably asked too much of the little blade. Still, it marches on. I could probably carry none other than this and be well equipped for most of what I meet in my decidedly non-farming life. And, dang, does it take an edge... I mean, it has resisted my ham-fisted attempts at sharpening and still manages to cut like a little scalpel.

That's cool. That knife has enough life left in it, to be passed down to your kids, and last another generation

I hope you're right. It was in my pocket in the delivery room when my son was born. At this rate, he'll be able to do the same.

And his son should be able to pass it to his son.
