I still remember the present I got from my grandfather for earning my Boy Scout “toting chit”. It’s a Schrade Old Timer, and I still have it.

I've that same knife....Back in the 1980's I was fishing in a row boat...and had my knife out for something..and stabbed it into one the wooden seats of the boat. Somehow or another...I hit that knife..and the tip of the blade broke right off.

Sent her into Schrade...and they replaced the blade..no questions asked. Just cost me S & H.....

Still have that knife..Still use it all the time. I'll be taking it to the GOM next fall....for a tuna adventure!!

Just a Boy Scout FYI. It’s a “Totin’ Chip” for the knife and a “Firemans Chit” to be a recognized fire builder. And if the leaders cut off all the corners of your “Totin’ Chip” (by catching you doing usafe stuff) you have to re-earn it. Let’s be careful out there... :-)
