Diamond in the rough

[Freeman Longhunter]

My neighbors know I am a knife addict. Luckily, like me, they are garage sale junkies too. Knowing that about me, they know what I look for. If they see a knife, no matter how crusty or old, they grab it if the price is right.

Well, thanks to my neighbor, I now have a Schrade Old Timer model 1250T. New! IN THE BOX! Circa 1967. I couldn't believe it. These knives were carbon steel, brass liner lock, jigged composite. A well made EDC from yester year.

Best part is..........$10.

Nice knife, that was made when Schrade was Schrade.

Exactly. Schrade is certainly not what it used to be.

Ha! You know, I think I will hold on to this one. I may even carry it.

Agreed!! I work for a major wine and spirits company so it is handsomely rewarded along with the $ reimbursement. A case of top shelf never hurts the cause!
