Handsome old knife.
 
Just got this vintage Schrade Old Timer 80T in last night. I’m really surprised how much I like it. It needed a sharping due to the wire edge but it’s almost perfect fit and finish otherwise.

Of course you like it. It’s a 4” Schrade Stockman.:cool:
And it looks dead mint!

Haying time in Ok? 2nd cutting?
Up here, they are on the 1st.

It is mint, I was really surprised it looked better in person then in pictures. I haven’t been paying attention to the hay cutting this year. I’ve been stuck on blading oil well locations from before dawn to after twilight.

Here you go guys.
And no sadly, I do not own it Jeff. ( Amir Fleschwund Amir Fleschwund )
It along with quite a few other vehicles were inherited by my niece when her dad died last year.
He was a collector of military vehicles and pseudo military vehicles.
The Power Wagon I'm told, belongs to a guy in Norway actually.
Here is a side shot of the P.Wagon with my Ka-Bar resting on the logo for knife content, along with the deuce and a half and chevy panel wagon painted to look like an ambulance.
There's also a couple of Jeeps, a couple of staff cars and a Harley Servi-Car in the containers.

Oh man that’s so cool. Would make an incredible hot rod!

Hope you’re not getting tired of seeing this one, but I’m totin’ the ‘Dog’ again today! Probably another day or two, then back to a stainless. They’re calling for “Oppressive” humidity again this weekend. :( :confused:View attachment 943553

I wouldn’t worry to much about the dog. I’ve found the German carbon in those (like my fightin rooster) don’t oxidize as easily. In south Louisiana “we need gills to breathe” humidity, I don’t have to worry about it much when some of my others (like GEC’s) would normally start to rust.

That’s interesting! I’ll give it a shot! Thanks!
 
I'm totin' this odd fellow today. The tang is marked OVERLAND GERMANY. Goins' Encyclopedia shows those knives as being imported by Fred Mac Overland (Los Angeles, CA) from 1951-1953. Mr. Overland barely had a cup of coffee in the knife importing business, it seems. From the look and function of this one, he should have stuck around.
