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

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

@The Fort thanks! I appreciate it. I'd actually found one at a pawn shop awhile back. But somebody had took it to a bench grinder bad,probably 1/3 of the blade width ground away. Then to make it worse looks like they tried to make it a flat grind. Very sad.

Some people have no business using knives or grinders!

Here are my four Old Timers

My 34OT arrived today. Pretty good fit and finish, excellent walk and talk with no blade play. I’m pretty sure it has the original factory edges. I’m really happy with it.

Collected a few over the years....some used some mint condish. They all belong in the early days of my collection.
One of the top ones there the Stockmans came in it's blister pack which has long since disintegrated.

Great bunch of OTs you’ve got there. Those 6OTs are really nice!

I like the 6OT and really like the small 3OT.
Before Schrde closed down, I got some green 35OTs - quite hard to find 14 years on.
The is my every day user... Ken.

That is not an old time, that is a very OLD TIMER.

Old Timer

My 1960-61 Schrade 8OT, took me six years to find.
The 2004 Schrade 8OT, just popped up one day.
The Rope Cut - Blue Bone Schrade, never made it to production.

 

[koldgold]

This is a very hard to find, Old Timer.
These boxes were made for an Australian Knife Seller.
Only one or two stayed in the U.S.A.
These Old Timers a 935 [8OT] and a 933 [107OT] were made about 1971-72.

The bone is nice on your original 8OT, mine has nice saw cut lines as well those aren't great pictures. I'll post a better shot tonight

 

[koldgold]

Two of these 8OT, came with my 2004 Anniversary Display.
The Display was delivered to a store in late January 2004 - and came with 6 of each knife.
Schrade closed down, only months later. I was very lucky to find this un-opened Display unit.
Postage to Australia, at that time was $U150.

I don't know, but somebody NEEDS to revive it that's awesome! @koldgold @meako that's the most beautiful blue bone I've ever seen.

 

[Old Biker]

A few years ago I realized that while I had owned Old Timer knives as a teenager, I didn't have one now. So I went shopping on the auction site and found this 34OT still in it's clam-shell packaging.

A coworker brought this 152 sharpfinger to work. It was rusty, and almost as sharp as a butter knife. So I confiscated it. Went to work on it with some wet dry sandpaper and oil, and got rid of the rust, and then I made it sharp. By the time I was done, I didn't want to give it back to him, so I traded a Kershaw for it.

This one also, I traded a Kershaw, to a coworker, for it.

O.B.

Those Picked Blue Bone knives were a specil order, Schrade never finished. Most of them, I have seen, were never finished. This is my full finished set. However, the U.S.A. flag is missing. I like the Anniversiry wooden handled set too.
