@lithicus you called it, similar knife to what you have. This one (a Delrin handled 6318 HP SS P) only has any real wear on the main, it is probably 15% gone, but nicely shaped so you don't notice unless you compare it to a full version - the walk & talk on this one is as good as I own. OH

Here is a good comparison, the Delrin 1976 (bought used) has been one of my most carried EDC's for years. The jigged bone 1977 (bought new) has never been used. Look at the main Clip Blades - you can see the difference. However, if you compare my 1976 to a current Case 18 pattern the main blades will be much closer as the blades have narrowed over the years.

Very nice knives and an awesome comparison! My 1976 6318HE is carbon steel as opposed to stainless, but I too think it will find it's way into my pocket more often than not! Maybe I'll post a pic of mine next week 😉
 
A good 12 years ago my wife and I took our daughter to the Mule Days events in Benson NC. We went in a hardware store downtown for a few minutes to browse and I saw this Schrade USA 881Y-SC in the display case - knowing Schrade had left the country I bought it. Went back the next week and bought some other models, that was a lucky day for me. OH

@lithicus nice knife! Looks like you have the Pen blade in lieu of the Spey blade as one of the secondary blades. That would be less common than the Spey version (not rare, but fewer). Finding the variations is part of the fun to me. Bet it has super snap too (not too hard, not too soft - just right - Baby Bear Snap!) OH

Thanks! I didn't realize it was less common. I understand that the P in HP stands for sPey and the E in HE stands for pEn. The snap on this one is definitely strong (esp after a good cleaning and a drop of oil), but not too much as you point out! A nice very for sure.
