Last week while deer hunting I helped one of our guests with the skinning of his deer and asked him exactly what kind of knife he was using as it had a green rubberized handle which was very grippy to the hand as it was raining while we were working on this deer.
He showed me the knife and it was an American made Shrade Old Timer model 141 which he said was no longer an American made knife.
So looking around this past Saturday I found several for under twenty dollars but were made in China.
So yesterday I got online and found out that Schrade has been defunct since 2004.
While googling I found a guy that had two of the older American made knives of this model that were brand new and never used.
I bought one right away for $32.00.
I was very impressed with the balance,weight,and more so, grip of this fixed blade knife.
Can anyone tell me what kind of steel the blade of this knife is made from as I cant seem to find this information anywhere.
Anxiously awaiting it's arrival via USPS.
