Last year someone helped themselves to several of my knives, including the 164 UH. This was my favorite knife . I cant find much information about it. Ive been tring to replace it. Even bought a Sharpfinger. But alas , nothing can replace my hiking, camping, fishing buddy.

I wonder why this wasnt a more popular knife? More comfortable than the Sharpfinger. It fit wonderfully in its sheath , no buttons to unsnap. It had the exact same hangle as the steelhead fillet knife. Another knife that was swiped.

I have tried several other knives on my belt, even taking the Bear Paw out of retirement. I just like the 164 . I hate to get in a bidding war on an auction site but I may have to.

Have any of you lost your favorite Schrade to a thief?
 
Guess I could probably say it was a thief, but will never really know for sure. I have an affinity for the Schrade LB3. Perfect fit and feel in my hand and pocket. Years ago, back in the late 80's, I was in the Marines and being transferred back to the States from Japan. At that time, there were no regulations, at least to my knowledge, against pocket knives on planes. Anyway, when they saw it during the security check at the airport in Osaka, they had a cow. They made me address a box to myself and put the knife in it. That was the last I ever saw of it. I finally got around to replacing it about two years ago. Keep your eye out, you'll find one.

Also, check the bay. There have been some 164 blanks on there for sale relatively cheaply lately. Maybe you could get one and make one yourself.
 
this is to Dale T63, the regulations for knives up until 9/11 was that you could not fly with a knife longer than 3 3/4" or the width of a man's hand. I flew several times with my LB7 with no problems until i went to California one time. They had the same fit and made me do the same thing. Good thing I lived in the south where knives were recognised as a tool not as a weapon.
 
We have a different way of getting rid of our favorite knives out here: We just leave them at the gut pile. My son left a $350 1960's M-stamp Marty Ruana at an antelope kill, and we never did find it. I left a whole fanny pack full of stuff, worth about $500, but I got that back after another 50 mile round trip. I don't know which is more satisfying-- letting a thief have them or just being a moron!
 
my old 34OT was a regular carry for many years before i knew anything about Schrades except for it and my 152OT.
i dropped it in the garden and looked for it right away, but it had somehow vanished into another dimension.
i still look for it every time i dig in the garden.
that was 10 years ago.

dipbait the 164 is one of my favorites as well. I have been lucky enough not to have had any knives stolen though.- Joel
