Okay, this is for all you Schrade Old Timer fans!

Last weekend at a yard sale, I spied this in a bucket of rusty old hand tools from way back when. An Old timer 8OT.

It was rusty, but from sitting on a shelf in some damp celler more than anything else. I gave it some hoppies gun oil in the joints to free things up, and its not actually a bad knife. Blades are full looking, not used or sharpend much, but just rust stained and spotted. I used a little oil and scotchbrite and there does not seem to be any pitting. Joints are pretty tight, action is good once the gun oil got in there. No scars or nicks in the sawcut delrin handles. I had to get it, if for no other reason to rescue it from oblivion. I thought of you guys here, so here it is.

I want to see your Old Timers, if you have them, and your post number will be your draw number. I'll have Karen pick a number out of my old fishing bucket hat. I'm gonna run this untill next thursday, and then make a pick.

Good luck guys.
 
Mighty nice of you JK!

Here is my Dad's OT that I cleaned up after he had to be moved into a nursing home. I carry it every once in a while and the ol' carbon blades are sharp! Since I already have one, please exclude me from the drawing and thanks for the kind gesture.

Great giveaway. Please don't include me in the draw. Here is an 8 OT in gorgeous real bone.

Nice one to own Jackknife. I have a good 8OT user, count me out on this one. Nice gesture, and will be a prized possession for the winner.

This Herman Williams custom 98OT is a favorite, alongside an old Schrade Walden 897UH

Thanks JackKnife! I don't have a Old Timer yet but if I don't win this I might just buy one.
 
Thanks for the chance!
I would love to have a chance to own an American made Old Timer, as i don't currently have one.
 
Great job rescuing the old girl. Mighty nice of you to pass it along too..

The 8OT is a terrific pattern. Please don't included me though as I already have one. Hopefully it goes to someone who hasn't had the pleasure of an old Schrade yet
 
I've had and lost a number of OTs over the years. I put away a UH trapper and a 34OT after the failure. So I guess count me in your generous offer.

Dummy. I forgot to say why I can't post pix. I'm building a house and they're all in storage. I also forgot to mention the fixed blade OT I have that's a drop point hunter (i think that's what it's called it was the more conventional companion model to the sharpfinger). I also have one of the green rubber handle skinners 1410OT I think. Not representative of OTs generally but a nice blade in Schrade + and a comfy handle.

Great give away Jackknife! I am honored. I am not in this give away contest. My best OT story is a trip up to Nor Cal and finding a Schrade display case with some USA Schrades still in it. I got a trapper pattern that had the tweezers and steel square butted toothpick. It was my first and only mint Schrade OT. I love these knives, and would love one do to collect all and make a great display case for them. I do use them, they do find pocket time.
 
No camera on my end, I did grow up with Old Timers and still use a 34OT and big thank you to jackknife for always setting a great example.
 
This is as good as rescuing an abused animal from torment!
Don't have any US Schrade but I would like to make a start, thank you and thank you for your knife-wisdom, an inspiration for all.
 
Here's one my dad got for me when I was a youngin. This is one of the Ulster Prince Albert knives (I think). Model 580T. It spent allot of time in my pocket and I'm happy to still have it.

Thanks for the giveaway Jackknife!
