Any Love For Us Old Timers?

[Guyon]

Here's a "Factory" 80T. Bone handle from "Back in the day" When you could go to an antique show and find this kinda stuff laying on a dealer's table (Before the internet). I still beat the bushes trying to find some treasures & still get lucky every once in a while. I guess it's the thrill of the hunt that keeps us going. Barry

That is a knife most of us would kill for. Great find.

No pics, but I have an 8OT in the EDC rotation. I also have a whole bunch of 8OT's, 6OT's, and Sharp Fingers laid up, in original packaging. They'll make great gifts for the grandkids someday. Right now my girls are 6 and zero, so I'll be holding on to them for a while yet.

Great thread!

Don't get to show off in this forum too often. I've been lucky a few times on some Schrade hunts, and spent a little to much time and money on Ebay.

Love these...I have an 89 and a 96 like yours, as well as a Middleman Jack and a small three bladed stockman.

I also have a scrimshawed Sharpfinger and a Deerslayer.

Love Old Timers.

Yes, that 8OT of Barry's... that is the holy grail of Old Timers. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Some amazing collections and some great finds, you guys have absolutely blown me away!

No better way to start the new year than with some Old Timer love.

 

[Coonskinner]

I just purchased this from a popular online auction site...

This 80T was given to me by my dad about 30 years ago. It's the oldest pocketknife I still own, that isn't a Victorinox. I have a 1080T that's US made, but not as old.

What is this "old timer" you speak of? It rings a bell...

 

[TwoDogs]

jnevill......too bad you haven't heard of them, they are good knives you should get yourself 30 or 40 of them!! Very nice collection!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Coonskinner]

Here are some Old Timers of mine.

None of them are pristine and minty, but they've all been around and have some stories built in.

 

[TwoDogs]

JohnnyR....that's a keeper for sure, very nice!
Coonskinner....I like 'em, they've got history!

Can't recall the last time I posted here, but I sure was surprised to pop in and see Old Timers in the General discussion area. I thought we'd been "put away for safe keeping" in the Collectors Forum.

Here are a couple of my favorites, followed by an Old Timer display I put together for a local museum:

This is one knife I actually do love

80-OT

80-OT

And rightly so. Nice seeing the full package there. The tan box covers are not too common, and marked too. Nice one hunterfisher808. :thumbup:

And Bob W. good to see you, and how are things down in the San Juans? Nice showing, love the red bone set. :thumbup:

 

[TwoDogs]

hunterfisher.....that's a beauty and worth the love!

Bob W....one word...WOW!

 

[mnblade]

What a spread! What model is that peanut-looking knife at the top-left with the straight nail nick on the main blade?

 

[Guyon]

That's the 72OT. There are actually three of them in that pic.

 

[tongueriver]

This one must be about as rare as the very first 8 OT with bone handles. This one is smooth Delrin with embedded gold dust. I speculate that it was concurrent with other variations from the first year.

 

[TwoDogs]

Sure would love to find one of those!!
