They are still out there, guys.. the old, off the beaten track small town hardware stores that WalMart hasn't beaten into the group. No, you won't find a display full of old Cattaraugus classics, nor anything like that.. those are gone.
But this week I found a store with some modern classics.. Old timers. And since the hardware shop owner had gotten word that Schrade had gone down, he was selling his stock at a bargain price. "To make room", he told me. He was under the impression no one would want them. So I helped him out. 3 77OT Improved Muskrats, a couple with boxes. 3 of the scallop-sheepfoot blade Blazers, and a handful of trappers and stockmans. It wqs an old display case, the paperwork seeming to date the knives I bought from the early nineties.
$10 to $12 each. Amazing.. I must live right.
