I have a 885Uh that I got over 10 years ago in the Schrade wood grain box still in the white sleeve that I have never carried or sharpened. A few months back I checked the knife and the bolsters were pitted on the underside. The problem. It was resting on a foam like material in the box that had decomposed with age and degased causing pitting. I thought others might want to know and check their knives. I am going to buy some red felt to place in the box. The special editions line like the grand dad knife I posted about seem to have a felt like material in the box. I took my 885 to SMKW sharpening dept. and had them buff the pits out of the bolsters for all of $2.00
As an aside, sometimes I wonder about all the Schrades I have in the box and some. that like the rest of you are rare, and not using them. We never know when were gone if our children, if we have children, will cherish them as we do or pawn, sell them, etc.
