Just a quick note, just because a Schrade is pre-taylor does not mean it will be carbon. Schrade switched to stainless steel long before then. Most stainless will be marked "Schrade+", but not all of them will.


While it is true that not all Schrades are carbon, pretty much all Old Timers are. The stainless will be found on the Uncle Henry series, among others.

I'll have to dig mine out tomorrow and make sure the main blade is 3 inches or less though... smile
