Old Timer 194OT Gunstock Trapper Lockblade Traditional Folding Pocket Knife with 3.1in Clip Point Blade, Nickel Silver Bolsters, and Sawcut Handle for Hunting, Camping, Whittling, EDC, and Outdoors

The question of them being made in China was a concern for me at first, but then again, you have to remember that it’s the manufacturer (which is based in the United States) that set the standards of any product, and the case is no different here. It’s of the same quality and craftsmanship that one would come to expect from a quality brand such as Old Timer.I’m extremely pleased with my purchase, it’s top notch quality, and very well made with a blade that sharpens easily, but retains the edge since it’s made of high carbon stainless steel.In fact, this Old Timer knife replaces a Case knife that I threw in the garbage bin due to its quality and craftsmanship which was dismal at best as the blade wouldn’t stay locked in place.I’m extremely happy with the Old Timer, and I think that you will be as well.

Great weight and size. No assisted flip or pocket clip or other unnecessary functions. Opening and closing this knife can be difficult but once locked open; feels sturdy enough in hand. Blade is sharp right out of the box but the steel is brittle; don’t use this as a pry bar. Blade is inscribed “Old Timer” not “Schrade” and the inlaid handle logo was not rounded/oval.

Seems to be a good product

easy to sharpen and keep really good eage

I bought 4 of these for my groomsmen. It's the same kind of quality I was expecting from Old Timer, everything feels tight and well put together, decent edge right out of the box, and they have the same great Old Timer look I was expecting. Plus, these are large enough to be useful but still small enough for discrete, every day carry which is not always an easy balance to strike. My only 3 complaints are that it seems a little weird to put a liner lock on something that doesn't have a thumb stud or some other way to open it one handed, they're a little stiff right out of the box (though they'll probably loosen up some with use), and the fact that they're made in China (which is the big one for me and the real reason I didn't give this 5 stars).

If you want the best Quality long lasting knife Old Timer is it

Very sharp out of the box. An easy pocket carry with the safety of a liner lock. The lineup of the lock isn't perfect, but close enough to not be concerned with safety. Meant to be a user. Would be a good knife for a first user.

I have been using this model for some thirty years. I have worn out maybe three of them. This one looks like it is going to be another great knife! i like the lock blade feature and I like that it has only one blade. This helps make it lighter and it doesn't wear out my pocket like a heavier knife would.
