The Knife Buying Public Are Fools

I always like the Schrade 165OT Woodsman. Like the 15...gotta pay. No way in hell I'd pay anything for a current production. I have one I paid $15 for that was caked in rust. Managed to clean it up ok and took a hell of an edge but certainly is no beauty queen. User for sure. If I could find it I'd post a pic.

Oooh, I'd love to see that :D

I love a good user and the stories those knives could tell!
 
My favorites for sure are the 5 and 15!!! It's not always about brute force and you're good to go. Basically it's not all about the tool; it's about the tool behind the tool!

Ethan and Jerry did an amazing job on this knives and if I could only save two these would be them!

I have googled until my finger fell off and the only 15s I have found are $131+ at the river site. To much for this old man, especially being I plan to toss the handles and sheath. Your 15 looks outstanding granite! The search goes on !

Unlike Gollum, I found my "lost" BK-15. I had moved a large quantity of gear and put it in a large duffel to take downstairs. I forgot it was at the bottom and spent hours, off and on through the week, hunting for it like an obsessed mutated hobbit. Yes, I accused people of taking it from me in a moment of panic. It's on my dresser now, but my wife is used to seeing me put my knives in prominent places since I grab one everyday for use.

And yes, when I found it, I did a little Gollum happy dance. But I didn't get knocked into a volcano. :D

Skyhorse, keep your eyes on eBay. They turn up and with some auction sniping, you will score one for less than $75, no question.

I wish I had picked up an extra 15 when they were much cheaper!!

Fantastic blade! Very underrated. Most here like it a lot. It's been officially discontinued and out of stock at Ka-Bar. Great pick up! Check the BK5 as it's going away as well and was very underrated until it got disco'd
