Schrade Old Timer 152OT Sharpfinger Fixed Blade Knife

This is a vintage Schrade Old Timer model 152OT, famously known as the "Sharpfinger." It is a fixed-blade hunting and skinning knife with a distinctive upswept trailing point blade profile, approximately 3.3 inches in length. The blade is constructed from high carbon steel, evidenced by the significant patina and surface oxidation visible across the metal. The tang is stamped with "SCHRADE U.S.A. 152," indicating it was manufactured in the United States prior to the company's production move in 2004. The handle features the iconic saw-cut brown Delrin scales, a durable synthetic material designed to mimic stag horn. Notable features include the inlaid silver-tone metal "OLD TIMER" shield on the handle, three brass pins, and a lanyard hole at the pommel. Regarding condition, the knife shows heavy signs of use and age. The carbon steel blade has darkened with a deep patina and exhibits surface pitting and rust spots. The Delrin handle scales appear faded and worn, with accumulated grime and a visible crack near the front bolster pin on the display side. Despite the cosmetic wear, the knife retains its structural integrity and iconic silhouette, representing classic mid-to-late 20th-century American cutlery craftsmanship.
