Schrade 340T's

[plain_ol_ed]

Just got back from a trip to town and Wal-Mart. They have Schrade 340T's for $12.00 (acutally 11.9 something). Got two of them while they are still available

Good price for a decent pocketknife. Just may have to take a trip to Wallyworld tomorrow.

Re: Schrade 340T's

I just read that as of August 1st Shrade closed their doors.

Re: Schrade 340T's

That's why I bought two of 'em. Didn't need 'em have at least three old timer's plus who knows how many others, but get 'em while you can.

Re: Schrade 340T's

Is this a single blade? How long is it?

Re: Schrade 340T's

They are a 3 blade medium stockman open length with clip blade about 6' closed a little under 3 1/2'.

It is listed at 14.95in this part of florida.But they were out of stock.They have a different model for 19.95 .The Swiss army knives hold an edge pretty well. Have one for 30 yrs.

Yes it is. :'(
As a fan and avid collector of Imperial/Schrade/Old Timer/Uncle Henry pocketknives I will now have to work harder to complete my collection before the prices start to rise. I got three Old Timers and a Schrade last week on closeout at my local farm supply store.

Mikeg,
The Old Timer S-44OT Stockman 4 Blade is an old favorite for carving. Schrade discontinued the knive some years ago and then made another run of 44-OT knives about 2-3 years ago.
You found a gem at a great price, high carbon steel blades that will hold a great edge. You must reprofile the factory secondary bevel before enjoying the knife completely.

Re: Schrade 340T's

Was told that on Black Friday, Wallyworld will be reducing the price and unloading their stock. Woodcraft already has the price reduced.

Question: If I can't get both or three at the same place should I pick the Shrade Old Timer Middleman, 2 and 3 blade, or the Shrade Uncle Henry 3 blade. I am tempted to jump on the Shrades now as I fear they will be gone.

Also Woodcraft has their Japanese Carving knives reduced from 19.99 to 9.99.

Mind you I totally despise shopping the day after Thanksgiving and my strong stable marriage can only survive one general shopping location. And my wife has to literally drag me out of Woodcraft.

Thanks Ken
