What's your latest Schrade? START DATE 3/18

I knew that Greenwings were the youth division (ok...I remember now that you reminded me ). Little people = little pockets = sheath. Makes sense to me. Thanks!

 

Birds of a feather...

 

I was a Greenwing, but I never had that one. It probably came out after my time.

 

Yeah, about 20 years past my Greenwing days...

 

I don't know too much about the Greenwings. I've been casually looking for a good 36OT. I've been told that the 36OT was only in Schrade's catalog for 3 years -90, 91, and 92. Assuming this is correct, then I'd guess the Greenwing was made in the same time frame. Which is pretty close to circa 1995 Codger.

 

I've never paid much attention to the Cope/Skoal knives.
Now I'm down the rabbit hole
Thanks I think
You were absolutely correct about the Skoal version. Its called the SK36 and was made in 1995.

 

Back in post #200 I posted some pics of the 36ot Greenwing I picked up. A few minutes with a wad of Nevr-Dull and the brass is cleaning up nicely. I'm hot going to worry about the patina on the blade. Cleaning that up would most likely wipe out the Ducks etching too. Blade patina doesn't bother me. Brass should be shiny

 

Nice Jim, what's the serial number inside the liner?

 

Thanks Jeff, it is 32546

 

Picked up a Ducks Unlimited Uncle Henry 12UH. The blade rode a little proud so I filed the kick to bring it down. The Ducks etching is till intact so it doesn't seem like it was used a whole lot. I compared it with my 72 and 12 and there might be 1 or 2 tenths of a millimeter of steel gone, but it looks pretty full to me. In any event the blade has decent snap and no play and now its not proud, so its all good. I need to clean and lube it. It does have some rust inside.

 

In the pics of my 36 Greenwing above, some of you might have noticed that the main clip blade sat proud (and were too polite to mention it - thank you ). While I had the file out working on the Ducks 12......

Codger, your mailbox is full.

 

Just in today, a yellow, Heritage, HO12. Blades tight, good snap. Other than a crack at one pin, its in very good condition.

 

Knice!
