Hello All

For your consideration, a Schrade Old Timer 960T
Bearhead Trapper; 10.5 cm clip, spey, field pick, tweezers.

This is and older version of this tool that was made in the USA, the current ones are manufactured in China, not to say that the current ones are badly made however there are enough posts out there on blade and knife forums where folks have compared past and present, the pick and tweezers fit better on the older model, the rivets are better fitted, the handle and the knife body are fit together with no raised edges etc. etc.

Condition...

This is a used knife, it has sat in pockets and pouches for years, however all the pivots are tight, no chips on the blades, the blades show tarnishing from fruit and veg prep and many scratches, this is not a drawer queen. No doubt someone who wanted it to be shiny again could polish her up.

I will sell this here for £30 to someone who will pay by bank transfer. Delivery to the UK mainland is included (sorry I will not post it to a non UK address).

I honestly don't know, it will sharpen on the bottom of a saucer or tea cup though so nothing too hard.

It should be 1095 if it's a vintage one, they did start making them in 440A and later 420HC but these would have been maked Schrade+

No + on this one, just Schrade USA 960T

It was second hand when I bought it and that would have been pre 2004 (ish)
