It's Old Timer time, fellas: Show your U.S.-made OTs

[boy&hisdogs]

Ah yes, I have a couple of those, one big one small. That wharncliffe blade looks like a modification though, I think they only ever came in clip blades.

Youre right, when I looked at various pictures online, I couldnt find a Wharncliffe but figured the clip point was modified to its current form. I like its patina though

Hello, sorry for reviving a year-old thread, but I just acquired a pair of unused Schrade USA Minutemen from Ebay, and they just arrived. They're from two separate sellers, and came with different boxes. Can anyone tell me if either of these boxes indicates when they were made?
The Minuteman was my first pocket knife (aside from the cheapo SAK knockoffs I earned from selling popcorn in Cub Scouts) and was given to me by my grandfather, who always carried the smaller Old Timer stockman himself.

As you can see, the lower knife has a wider clip blade. It's also thicker; the clip blade of the upper knife tapers to incredibly thin near the tip:

Somebody obviously fell asleep at the grinder.

Those are both USA made Schrade, made in NY if I remember right.

I got a Master Mechanic 89 made my Old Timer for Ace hardware! They are the same except for the shield!

 

[deltaboy]

I wondered since I got my 89 why they didn't use a Longer Sheepsfoot blade on the 8OT Stockman?

Love my matchstrike 80T, great snap and very sharp...

The USA made OTs are among my favorites! Probably due mostly to seeing them for sale in local hardware stores, when I was a kid. I still have this 18OT.

That's a beauty, Lance! Wish I had your patience and search skills! I took the easy way out last Christmas and bought a Chinese version (but it did come with a cool deck of cards ).

Thanks Gary! I got into that one for a very good price. I wasn’t necessarily looking for it, I just couldn’t pass it up.

I admire that! Nice simple strong working knife, lot of satisfaction gained from carrying and using I'll be bound. Thanks for showing it.

Regards, Will

That's a good one!

Thank you, Will!! I remember seeing these in a glass case display, wishing I could own all of them! They have proven, even though they were made with Delrin handle material, the idea was have it depict stag or natural bone handles, to be solid well built knives with great carbon steel.

 

[black mamba]

You're right, Perry, and I have a lot more of the Uncle Henry "stag" than I do of the Old Timer "bone." Same great knives, just a cover preference.

 

[singin50]

Yep, them old Uncle Henrys are fantastic too!!
