Unusual swedged blade on 8OT model.

[Rusty1]

Bought this Schrade-Walden 8OT Frame knife recently. swedged blade on any 8OT knife is very minimal if any. Some may of seen this already discussed over on AAPK, If anyone has not seen this I thought I would bring it to BFC also. Has anyone seen this blade style before on an 8OT knife, or can anyone match the blade from another of the Schrade/Camillus knives from the sixties on. The knife does not have a model number on the front or the rear of the main blade.

thawk, maybe you could add if you will your "8" frame knives to compare.

We had a nail nick topic some time back that also revealed a variety of wedges on the 8OT.

Here's my old nail nick scan:

I've never seen one with the swedge end in a sudden cut. Not that I recall anyway.
