Definitely not one of those "purdy, shined up bone- or pearl-handled, Sunday-go-to-meetin' knives"

This is my ever-day-user Old Timer with Bone Handles. Ken

You need to meet Son-of-a-Guns European doppelgänger the 226 OT

Here's a wild Mustang 125OT and its kissing cousin a Camillus Craftsman.

Old Timer with a John Primble - Belknap Hardware tang stamp:



More of the herd. The 858OT, 34OT, and 77OT I found over the years with damaged blades. Pretty easy to turn them into my favorite blade profile (Sheepfoot or Wharncliffe.)


Better shot of the 77Ot: one blade tip had been broken off, one bent. Converted to Wharncliffe type blades.


More of the collection; a few of these have wandered on over to Australia and elsewhere. It's a great feeling sharing these nice old U.S. Schrades with folks in other parts of the world.





89OT - a standard 8OT but with a longer, serrated sheepfoot blade.

I like collecting these promotional knives, Schrade gave them to some of their customers.

Hi Chris, in 1991 Schrade sold an 877UH. It was a 77OT with a Gut Hook - It was sold from 1991 to 1994.

This Display, also had the 106OT [with Scissors] - another knife that only sold for a very short time 1990 to 1994... Ken

A good friend in the U.S.A did that old knife for me
This is another one he did for me... Ken

I believe, these 1986 Red Bone sets, were the best Old Timers Schrade made for a long time.

The SS34OT is another Sterling Silver and Red Bone knife I like.

Who doesn't love some good old American Redbone. Come and get your love....., Come and get your love.

And for you whipper snapper millenials that was a Band and song from the 70's.

I love those 4" Old Timers, and the 8OTs and 881s are my favorite Schrades

These 935 Primbles (8OTs made by Schrade) came in this envelope, dated 1973. They cost $4.35 each.

This is My first Schrade knife! It's a Walden 881, I have been using it for 43 years.
Snap is poor, blades are rusty and it's NOT FOR SALE.

 

[SAK Guy]

That is a great looking 8OT.

Thanks Deltaboy!!! I'm pretty excited about that one!
