The later ones were stainless, though unmarked as such. Generally, they had the hollow grind as opposde to the flat, plain grind of the earlier carbon steel pieces.
Some time in the late 1990's, Schrade did begin making a running change to stainless 440A blade steel on the Sharpfinger, though the tangstamps and packaging was not changed to inform buyers. I have also one of these stainless 152OT's, one of the last stocked by a local Wal-Mart. Interestingly, the Sharpfinger was listed in the catalogs as "high carbon steel" until the 2004 catalog when the description was dropped from the listing.
