1967(ish) very early production, serial numbers mixed with the Norm Thompson SFOs and the regular run of Old Timer 165s. This one is the best one that I have and you may not see another one soon, but who knows? The sheath is.... what can I say? Meanwhile, I have gotten word that Michael Little, one of the very most knowledgeable Schrade people, has been VERY ill and we are hoping for a complete and expedited recovery.

Cal I missed this post, I can see why this would have to be one sitting at the top - would have to be a very desired 165 from all.

R.I.P Michael.

I added a swedge to this 80T I got from here on the porch.

Nice swedge, Zach!!

Schrade made a lot of Delrin-handled knives like yours!! In the thick of the Delrin era, the partnership of Parker-Frost contracted Schrade to make this Liner-lock in gorgeous Red Jigged Bone!!
A great knife, with a firm snap, regardless of the Linerlock; and Schrade's incredible edge-holding ability, it is a Beauty!! I found it in a pair of old work jeans out in the garage, and it still slices paper!! So I stropped it and pocketed it today!!
Clearly made in 1978, I hope Parker paid for it - he was quite a shyster!! Ask Bernie Levine about him!!
Regardless of that saga, Schrade made it - an exquisite Jigged Bone knife, in the Delrin Era!!

Thanks, Steve!! A Gem of the late 70s!!
(edited to add); The knife has a hint of an etch on the main that says, "Little Bandit""!! Hmmmm; maybe it wasn't paid for!!?? Ha Ha!!!

Charlie, those 1978 Parker-Frosts also included 4" stockmen, with the same beautiful jigged bone, in green and brown besides the red you've shown.

Hidden gems, Jeff; quite beautiful!! You don't see them too often, but they are worth owning!! Nice bunch you've got!!

Thanks, Charlie, here's the red bone. The jigging is nice and random.

My EDC since Monday; the Sheepfoot blade has really gotten a workout last couple of days, been doing sampling of wallboard products for the plants. Today I get in line at a UPS store and ship samples. OH

There was a muskrat in that series also. I don't presently have any of them. Great bone.

Weather is right and work is caught up, good day to slide out for a fishing trip on the Roanoke River. An Uncle Henry 897UH should be a good choice for the day’s activities. OH

Grabbed this Schrade USA 34OT on the way out this morning, so light in the pocket you'd forget it was there. OH

A gift from last Saturday, at our local knife show!! Junior Stockman, 3 1/4", with jigged Delrin handles; Schrade USA 834!!!
New in the Clear tube!!! Pre-plant closure!!

 

[black mamba]

Probably mid 1970s on that one, Charlie. Same vintage here, but different Delrin.

 

[Rufus1949]

Schrade rope knifes.
