A few weeks ago I realized that my 34OT that I had worn down and smoothed out the scales on, riding in my pocket for 15 years, had stainless blades. I also realized that my first slipjoint, a 80OT that I gave away for some reason, had carbon blades, and that in fact, the original 34OT ones had carbon blades too. So after a bit of whining on the forum and asking about how hard it would be to get one I received a mail. This guy was actually asking for my adress to send me one since he had more knives than he could use. I said I couldnt afford it right now but he insisted it was a gift, so I gave him the adress. I didn't think much about it and then, a few weeks later it arrived a small box from the U.S.A. My son and I were dumbstruck at first, then he ran down and showed them to my wife. Not only had he sent me an 34OT in perfect condition laying in a box wrapped in plastic. He also sent a larger size Schrade stockman, similiar to the 80OT, used but in fine condition. I do not know if I have ever been so surprised. I do know for sure that I have never been so happy to get a couple of knives in the mail. "Jeez, I cannot really use it, it is too good looking" I thought to myself. However , the generous guy told me I should. So now it accompanies my every day, wherever I go. I'm so scared i'll loose it, hence it goes down in my coin pocket.
The pictures are of the knives I got plus a picture which compares the color of the new and old one. The stamping on the two knives are different as it says NY USA on the old one. It has I tiny blad wobble but nothing significant on the clip blade. My son is a car mechanic and says I shouldn't worry about it. I checked my other Schrades and one of them has a small wobble on the clip as well
