Just for my curiosity. What Schrade knives do people have? What is the most popular?
I have a 5OTG Green Bruin in my jeans pocket for everyday use. I also have a 152UH Wolverine and a BTO1 Extreme Survival.
What do the others have?

Carried an SP-2 for the last 4 years. Perfect knife for the office and recreation when I want a knife that is always there. No clips, no bulk, no fuss. I would still be carrying it today if I hadn't been exposed to the wonders of ATS-34.

Please upgrade the steel in this wonderful little knife!!

I have a Golden Spike, that has seen alot of use. Doen't know the steel, but is sharp, and easy to keep that way.
 
I have a Bear paw, it has been my hunting knife for about 20 years. This knife has been with me from the Adirondacks to the Yukon, I use it on 2 or 3 deer each year.I got no complaints.
 
I probably have more Schrade knives than any other, even including SAKs.

Two blade congress - Scrade Cut Co, Walden NY, which I think is a pre-1948 mark. A very nice little knife that was a gift from my wife and kids.

881 - An older large stockman in faux jigged bone of Delrin. A nice looking knife with the Schrade shield, and my carry if I need a slightly more robust knife than the slim stockman.

8OT - (OT is Old Timer) large stockman.

12OT - Small single blade folder. First knife that I gave two of my older kids as I think that learning how to care for a carbon steel pocketknife is a good lesson on caring for tools in general and knives specifically. They have fun making chips and otherwise using them.

18OT - Small lockblade. I picked up the small one for my kid's collection.

34OT - Medium stockman, which is my airline travel knife.

61OT - Large, slim stockman, my current carry.

72OT - Small jacknife, in my kid's collection.

77OT - Muskrat. A kind of philosophical knife as the two blades on the serpentine pattern produce a ying-yang pattern. Thin, flexible carbon steel blades that get real sharp. A favorite.

94OT - Trapper with caps and bolsters in a size that I like. I think it's discontinued so I picked up two when they were on sale.

104OT - Small pen knife, in my kid's collection.

108OT - Small stockman. A nice knife for kids and as gifts.

125OT - Large lockblade folding hunter. Along with the others listed one of the few carbon steel lockblades.

194OT - Lockblade trapper, single blade.

225OT - Large folding hunter with a lockblade saw. A recent purchase that was hard to find. Looks like a useful pattern in a bigger knife.


 
Sharpfinger, a gift from my friend Nemo.

Has anyone tried our Schrade Switch-It - SW7S or SW7? The Switch-It has a unique rotating pocket clip which allows comfortable use and right or left handed operation and carry.
 
Sharpfinger, which I've had forever and can't remember the model #, and a medium Stockman (34OT).

Growing up I carried a razor-sharp two-blade Old-Timer jack for so long that all of my jeans pockets were worn in exactly the same place. Unfortunately, when I went off to college, it "walked" out of the dorm room. Around that time, my grandfather was volunteering at an elementary school and the faculty gave him the same model knife as thanks for all his service. When he passed away a few years later, I inherited it and still carry it from time to time. I also have a large LB7 lockblade that I traded a Mexican switchblade for during my ninth grade English class (when was that? '84?). It's a great knife but I don't hunt and rarely need so large a knife. Recently I picked up an Uncle Henry 897 stockman just 'cause I liked the looks of it. I really think Schrades are the best value in pocketknives.
 
A 152UH Wolverine, and an SG7 Outback with a partially serrated blade.
The thing I like best about the Outback is the grip I'm able to get on the handle. Between the shape and the TPR material, this baby is rock-solid in my hand.
 
I really like Schrade knives! I almost always have one on me. They are useful, a good value, and very sturdy. I don't think one could be broken easily unless abused.
The ones I have are:
8-OT: large Stockman my Every Day Carry.
34-OT: medium Stockman
96-OT: Bearhead Trapper, the big one with the pick and tweezers.
94-OT: Trapper, the Jr. sized one (please bring this model back)
152-OT: Sharpfinger
285-UH: Pro Trapper I use this one for cleaning and scaling
bluegills when I don't feel like filleting.
897-UH: premium Stockman Love the design of this knife.
153-UH: Golden spike
807-UH jr Stockman my oldest son's.
Touch chip for my 8 year-old son.
Lost an 834-UH through a hole in the ice, a 96-OT remodeling a house, and a 108-OT.
 
A Sharpfinger
OT Bearshead Trapper
The big upswept point OT fixed blade, I think they call it the Deerslayer
An old Schrade-Walden Trapper with Yellow Composition scales
Schrade-Walden Serpentine Jack in jigged bone
Schrade-Walden large Stockman in jigged bone(one of my favorite EDC's)
Scrade-Walden Woodcraft style fixes blade
Schrade-Walden upswept point fixed blade
Assorted OT pocketknives

As you can probably tell, I really like the old Scrade-Waldens.
 
In the meantime, I desperately wanted a carbon steel knife so I added a Sharpfinger to my collection.

I also won a Wolverine, thanks to Hoodoo's generosity over on the Wilderness Forum.

I am still playing with the idea of getting a Deerslayer fixed blade and a 96-OT Bearhead Trapper with the old carbon steel. Any opinion on the Deerslayer?

I have ten Old Timers:
- 15OT Deerslayer (modified the tip)
- 165OT (modified the tip)
- 152OT Sharpfinger (modified the tip)
- 158OT Guthook Skinner (I have 3, modified the tip on 2 of them)
- 160OT Mountain Lion (I have 3, modified the tip on 2)
- 94OT Trapper

I've modified the tips on most of my fixed-blade
Old Timers by grinding down the spines of the tips. On the 152, 15, 165, and 160, the tips came rather upswept and pointy. I lowered the tips somewhat and made them less pointy and more pointing forward instead of upswept. On the 158 I've ground down the guthook to form a narrow drop-point. The modified knives work better for me. I've also re-contoured the Delrin handles by rounding their rectangular profiles into more of an oval shape.

I sure wish Schrade would bring out some new Old Timer fixed-blades, with carbon steel and delrin handles, in more current blade patterns, such as drop-point or spear-point.

HM: The Deerslayer is a very nice knife. I found the tip to be too upswept and pointy so I modified it as noted above. Now it sort of resembles the upcoming Spyderco Perrin Bowie (sort of). I believe the Deerslayer was discontinued a while ago, so grab one (or more) if you can.
 
I've got a Sharp Finger with the white fake ivory handles and just bought an LB7 today to replace one I had for years.These knives have the easiest to maintain edge I've ever seen.I also recieved a 1040T Minuteman from My Boss for a Christmas present.It's a dinky little thing but a nice jesture,especially in these days of PC thinking.tom.:)
 
Marty123, thanks for your words on the Deerslayer. It is a good-looking blade and still available on E-bay for around $20-25.
