Old Timer 8OTW Senior 3-Blade Folding Pocket Knife with Desert Ironwood Handle

Great little pocket knife. Was replacing an old timer with a broken blade. Good knife.

Great knife, but a little heavy carrying it around. Had to put it in the tackle box.

Very sharp. The “desert wood scales” are hard and seem very durable. Bought it as a present for my brother, he loves it. Perfect size for a pocket knife.

Very nice would definitely recommend

Better than I expected. Pleasantly surprised.

Great knife. Got my husband for Christmas and he loves it!

It's true. US made Schrade and their Old Timer brand knives are gone. What we have now are the Taylor Brands LLC versions of the Schrade Old Timer knives, made in China. But they are not bad knives, despite the complaints of the devotees of the original Schrade USA knives. The original Old Timers were low-priced and pretty much disposable working knives made for working people on a budget. Over time, they became mythic knives, especially in the years since Schrade USA went out of business. Look on the online auction site and you will find some ragged examples of those knives being offered for many times their original retail prices. Well, that's fine for knife collectors but for the everyday working person who needs a low-priced pocket knife, those ragged and beat up knives and their collector prices are outside the budget. That's where the new Old Timers come in. They now are made with stainless steel blades and they are assembled with modern methods and this is done in China instead of the USA. They fulfill the needs of the thrifty working person admirably. They may not be the finest in fit and finish, material choice or aesthetics but they're reasonably priced and they cut stuff. This 8OT is the "W" model. The grip panels are made of desert ironwood. Desert ironwood is a hard and tough material that also has nice figure and looks good. It dresses up the looks of the knife nicely. This is not the highest grade of desert ironwood available, I admit. My knife has a small flaw in one wood panel that the pickiest of people would complain about despite the fact that this is a budget traditional pocket knife, not a collector's item. I don't expect a $20 knife to have the fit, finish or material in a $200 custom. This is still a low priced working knife, dressed up for Saturday night play and Sunday morning church services. I like the new Old Timers just fine. They're not in the same league as the more expensive brands like Case, Boker, Queen, etc., but they are worth their prices and fill their niche really well.

Great quality pocket knife. Love the size and blade length. I have carried a pocket knife since I was 10 years old.

Zwei der drei Klingen sind verbogen. Alle Klingen sind komplett stumpf. Hat alles einen etwas unreifen Zustand, eine Griffschale hat eine kleine Stelle ohne Lack oder Lasur, Metallkanten sind nicht richtig abgeschliffen.

Navaja de cierre de pistón, unos resortes se encargan de hacer fuerza contra la espiga de las hojas en todo momento, el mismo sistema de las Victorinox y Pallarés para entendernos, no es de los más seguros y fuertes pero cumple para lo que está pensada. En sí es bastante vistosa y bonita con las cachas de madera y las virolas de alpaca, aunque la hoja principal tenía una mella, supongo que al cerrar de golpe toca con el muelle interior. La he limpiado y engrasado y va muy fina. El acero 7cr17mov es de gama baja-media (+/- un 440A aunque con más vanadio), pierde relativamente rápido el filo pero se afila muy fácil. La navaja en sí está muy bien ajustada, no se ven huecos por ninguna parte, las hojas no tocan entre sí, los muelles se ven muy bien y tiene buen filo de fábrica, pero claro, que está por ver que uso diario aguantaría Porqué entonces las 5 estrellas? Por la relación calidad-precio, por 20€ no hay fabricante nacional que ofrezca estos acabados con estos materiales, enseguida ya te vas casi al doble o al triple de precio

Exelente producto precio

La boîte cartonnée du produit correspond bien ; le couteau rien à voir une daube à 15 centimes. Obligé de mettre une étoile mais j’aurais mis - 5 etoiles si j’avais pu

Muy bonita navaja, bien ajustada, bien afilada y bien terminada. El escudo que trae de la marca no es ovalado como el de la foto. Queda en la mochila de caza, para navaja de diario se ve un poco agresiva la hoja, mas que nada por si te paran en algun control. La compraria otra vez sin dudarlo. Sin ningun "made in china" en la navaja, que tampoco pasaba nada, pero bueno, lo prefiero asi.
