Old timers

No respect is right. My first knife was a schrade and I still have it along with a collection of old timers and uncle henry's. Well made knifes and have held up for years. I'll post some pic's later of the small collection I have.

I've got to say I love the Old Timers. The U.S. made ones, not the China made. Hay, they're getting harder to fined.

Nice set of knives Glenn! I use to carry an Old Timer pocket knife for a while. I thought that the Old Timers were carbon steel and the Uncle Henerys were stainless steel. What have ya'll heard on the steel and name deal?

Yep. The real Schrades, when Schrade was still in business, made the Old Timers in 1095 carbon steel, and the Uncle Henrys in 440A stainless.

I was a big Schrade collector waaay back in the 80's. I don't have many Schrades left, but I'm still big.

I am probably gonna end up giving Ron James a grip of cash for some USA made OT's he wants to sell. How many and how much, I'll know when I see the pics. I plan on doing a "lot" buy, keep the shipping down.

Just got this in the mail yesterday. A vintage, Carbon bladed, 7-OT. I pictured it next to the Buck 110 I re-pinned last week. Comparisons are the 110 is .8 oz lighter and .25" shorter when closed. The blades are the same length, but the 7-OT's swedge goes back a 1/4" further than the 110's. But the 7-OT's swedge profile is not ground to be a false edge like the 110, which may matter to some people, just not me.

Once again, Craig, no drooling.

LOL! Aw, come on!

Don't get me wrong, I love Buck 110s, but I always liked the little extra "meat" on the handle of the Schrades (and Camillus) lockback folding hunters.
