It's not a true double edge; it's a partial double edge, with a false edge, so it should fly no problem.<br /><br />A second look at the sheath indicates very good quality. <br /><br />I think that this may very well be the purchase that I have ever made on a knife in this price range?<br /><br />Yes; as would be expected in this day and age, Schrade has gone Chinese. But apparently they managed to do so without sacrificing quality?<br /><br />A few good close ups below:<br /><br /> http://www.smkw.com/large/knife/SCT162OT.jpg<br /><br />http://www.c1k.com/images/schrade/162OT.jpg<br />Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074851290743440661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-44415886512042270832014-06-13T06:47:36.832-07:002014-06-13T06:47:36.832-07:00I'm sure you are correct- and any place outlaw...I'm sure you are correct- and any place outlawing a four inch knife should NOT be where you want to liveJames M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-28209633628934791112014-06-13T05:34:52.731-07:002014-06-13T05:34:52.731-07:00If its a real 'boot' knife, (the sheath ty...If its a real 'boot' knife, (the sheath type that clips onto top of boot) AND has a double edged blade, be aware that many jurisdictions have laws against them.

If you want to go inexpensive, an Old Hickory 'pig sticker' seems the way to go, but you have to make a sheath for it.

Great knife, curved blade but very useful. I've had it for over 30 years. Haven't carried it in quite a while as I carry a Spyderco folder. Belt knives are frowned upon unless a folder with a case. The Old timer is a good knife. If you life the style, you'll be happy with the quality.<br /><br />BTW....are you doing something special to that magnificent hair?

If you wanted to use it as a boot knife, I'm not quite sure how you would mount it?<br /><br />WayneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-37272367255622999582014-06-12T07:06:04.920-07:002014-06-12T07:06:04.920-07:00Okay, I can't quite see the sheath.

If you wait long enough, budk every so often offers penny shipping; or at least they used to?<br /><br />http://www.budk.com/product/Schrade-Old-Timer-Spear-Point-Boot-Knife/176469.utsWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074851290743440661noreply@blogger.com
