Did I get a good price? Should I use it or safe queen it?

At around $30 including shipping, you paid close to top value for this knife in it's condition and completedness, IMHO. To make yourself feel better, consider that the price without shipping ($20.50) was a good deal. I often use this ruse on myself!

Nice knife, but used and with no box or papers, so it really does not have a collector value as a factory NIB example would. But it would make a dandy and unique user. Get a NIB example if you want a safe queen. This one is not likely to gain value in the safe. This one begs to be used!

I like it. And a decent deal all things considered! :thumbup:

So I shouldn't feel bad if I take it hunting and get it all bloodied up? Is it carbon or stainless?

i have used my Schrade 152OT for about the last 25 years of my hunting. it's a decent knife and the blade shape is excellent for field dressing deer. mine's done probably about 30 and there's lots of blade left. so, yes, take it hunting. roland

I am thinking this is a 1984 issue, so it should be good 1095HC carbon steel.

I have also used teh Sharpfinger for many years in dressing, skinning and butchering deer. It works way beyond it's diminuative size and us ultra-compact on the belt so it doesn't get in the way.
