Old Timer 15OT Deerslayer 10.5in High Carbon S.S. Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with 5.6in Clip Point Blade, Black Sawcut Handle, and Leather Belt Sheath for Hunting, Camping, Skinning, EDC, and Outdoor

I’ve been looking for a good knife to carry around when I go hiking and fishing. Glad I found this. The knife and the sheath are sturdy!! The sheath seems to be real leather, and will need to be broken in I er time but it’s not the faux leather that all the other knifes seem to have nowadays. The knife itself is exactly what I was looking for. Not too small and just big enough, it’s super sharp, and the overall build is solid! Love this knife!

$30 and you get a very nice leather sheath plus a razor sharp blade right out if the box, cannot complain about that at all. Very satisfied with this purchase. It being 440 steel I will only be using this blade to process game and fish. It has a nice weight and the balance is at the handle, where your index finger would sit. Balance and weight are spot on for a skinner knife. The blade shape is basically a longer stretched put version of the sharpfinger but with a more ergonomic handle. It has a thick spine that tapers to the tip, at the tip there is a nice bevel, making the tip a needle point. Im pretty sure the handle scales are Delrin. This looks to be full tang but I saw that the woodsman was a fake full tang, but from the look of this construction, there isn't a way to hide that under a hand guard which is mainly the reason I purchased this over the woodsman. Authentically this knife sits between a gentleman and an outdoorsman carry knife. It wouldn't be out of place with a denim shirt and slacks, or tee shirt and cargos. I'm beyond pleased with this purchase and highly recommend this large skinner to anyone that doesn't want to take out a $400 safe trophy haha 😆 . Honestly the sheath alone is worth the $30. I've gotten a lot less for a lot more money before so yeah.

Grew up with a knife similar to this and was eager to receive this one for Christmas 2025. Nice sheath, sharp edge and lasting construction. Feels amazing in your hand and grips well while using. Versatile in the kitchen as well as in the field. Functions perfect with wild game and the perfect size for kitchen use.

This is another Schrade classic that's been around for a long time. Though these are no longer made in the US (and no longer made with Carbon steel) they are still decently made and a good buy for the price. The sweeping blade edge and point make these excellent for dressing, skinning and quartering large game. My uncle had an original that he carried with him all the time while hunting. It was his favorite game knife. The blade is nice and thick, just right for this type of knife. With a finger notch and thumb jimping to ensure you can control this blade pretty well when performing such tasks. The Delrin handle material is the same type Schrade has been using for years and should last a lifetime. I have 35+ year old Schrades with this same handle material and they haven't shown any signs of breaking or chipping (though some have worn down some). The knife is decently balanced for this type of knife and feels good in the hand. Now for the blade steel. Taylor brands, as well as other knife reviewers, like to list the steel as the equivalent of 440C. However this is incorrect. Taylor Brands site lists the blade material as 7Cr17. If you go a site like A.G. Russell Knives (they have a comprehensive list of the various steels used in knife making), you will see that 7Cr17 is actually almost identical in composition as 440A. 440A has about half the carbon content as 440C. They would need to use 9Cr18 to be closer to 440C. So this to me is a little misleading. However, 440A is still not a bad steel to use in such a knife and I find it takes an edge fairly easy as well as holds the edge fairly well. It's not the better 440C, but for the price of this knife, the steel is decent. The sheath is likewise, fairly decent, but again, for the price of this knife it's expected. Overall this is a decent game knife for this price. If you are looking for a decent knife of this type that you don't want to worry about breaking or losing out in the field, for this price, this is a knife for you.

Old timer knives blew me away. Extremely high quality knives. Fit and finish is perfect. I have bought many now and quality control is great. Handle feels so nice. Comes super sharp out of box and stays sharp. Strong sturdy thick knife but it has a fine point still. I love this shape knife.

Love this Schrade blade design. I have a smaller, more medium-sized one and another just a little smaller still. But this larger one is very versatile, like I said, i love the design. It's used on camp-outs for cutting meat for grilling, with its pseudo-cleaver shape and very sharp edge, or as a utility knife for cutting up veggies, cooked meats, etc. As you might expect with the price, it will lose its edge sooner than your US-made Case or Buck, but it's nice steel and sharpens easily. I think the trick to keeping the brand-new sharp is to sharpen/hone it often and regularly. I do that after almost every trip. I suppose it'll wear a little faster but it's easy to keep it brand-new sharp all the time that way. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the handle and its construction, the size, feel and balance are great, and the blade is strong and stiff, even if a little thinner than you'd like, The sheath is well constructed and sized right but I can't speak for it's durability if you carry it daily. Mine stays in the camp mess box - makes an excellent block knife!

I have owned several of the smaller "sharpfinger" skinning knives over the years and always found them to be good quality, functional, and a real bargain. After ordering and receiving the larger "deer-slayer" version I was very pleasantly surprised. It arrived with arm shaving sharpness and a nice fit and finish. The sheath is of surprisingly good quality and construction. Considering the price point and quality, for a great design, balance, and functionality, I can't see why anyone could ask for more at this price. I have many much more expensive fixed blade "skinners" but I doubt you can find a better tool for the price.

Great knife for low cost and it does sharpen up to a razors edge if you use the right method. I can't believe what you get for the price a nice sheath as well made of leather. If I was just starting out and needed a great all around hunting knife this would do most of what you buy it for. I have about three different schrades and they all were very economical to get and all sharpen up very nice. Whats more is you don't have to spend a lot to get them. I have found several very nice knives that were made in china and they are outstanding. You can't lump all products in and label them as junk when you find some great buys for peanuts.

Es un cuchillo por el cual no me decidia si comprar el otl o este y la verdad esta muy padre y es de hoja grande. No lo he probado al 100 pero se ve fuerte y sobre todo de estetica clasica de campo. Lo recomiendo bastante. Lo malo es que el proveedor ya subio costos de envio y sale mas caro el envio que el producto.

Hunting knife.

A great knife for the price. Made in China, this knife is beautifully constructed. The one I received has no flaws what so ever and was received razor sharp. The stiff leather case is well designed and will fit up to a 3 inch belt. I just love the feel of the saw cut handle which is both beautiful and practical. You can't go wrong for the price as this knife's quality is equal to ones multiple times it's price.

ATTENTION ! IL S'AGIT BIEN D'UN SHARPFINGER 152OT ET NON PAS D'UN DEERSLAYER. hormis ce problème concernant Amazon, on constate que chez Schrade ce ne sont pas des guignols, le couteau est super agréable en main, il a un poids optimal par rapport à sa taille et est déjà aiguisé à la sortie de la boite. Le Sharpfinger n'a pas volé sa renommé, c'est un excellent couteau qui peut rivaliser avec d'autre modèles bien plus gros.

Item received 2 days before original estimated time frame! Sheath is very well made and not nearly as flimsy at it looked in original add. The blade itself has a very keen edge with no scratches,blotches , etc. Handle was formed precisely to the tang,no burrs or ridges. Rsearch determined Schrade hasn't made any knives "stateside" since the late 1990's or early 2000's. The company was absorbed by something called "Taylor Enterprises" which,in turn was subsumed by another organization. Long story short.... this little gem was manufactured in China....surprised!!!? I wasnt. Anyway it's very well made,or appears to be anyway. I collect these things so won't be going out to skin a deer,bear or any other beast. Quality control was spot on the day this blade went down the line. Thank You.
