Excellent quality. Comes with neither a belt pouch nor a pocket clip. So is truly a pocket knife. It is exactly the same size as the LB5 which DOES come with a great (Schrade orange) leather belt pouch. So if you want a belt pouch for it, either get an old junk LB5 and toss it, or find something similar in size...
If you like traditional folders you can't go wrong with this knife. I paid 20 dollars with shipping. It holds a razor sharp edge for a long time. I took my knife to a full mirror and it's stayed sharp. The heat treat is good and for 20 bucks you won't find a better deal.
Son was happy to get this for Christmas to replace a lost knife. Old Timer has always been a trusted brand for exchanging gifts between the men in the family. Good craftsmanship and look.
They went on sale for 19.99, so bought one. First impressions were good upon inspection. Smooth transitions on handle, almost perfect blade centering, slight gap but expected on a inexpensive lockback or lockback in general, as it is a very small gap. Minor grind flaw on lockbar but does not effect function just a visual flaw. The spring tension is good with a good smack when closing, has a nice click when lock engages and smoothly unlocks. One flaw that is a biggie in my opinion, is poor grind angle and consistency, Schrade, it took me over 4 hours with my 1x30 belt sander to reprofile to 17.5° (so steel is probably D2 with a good HT) that is fine for me who has the equipment to reprofile to a usable angle and the main grind leaves alot of material behind edge (thick at edge) I have another in hand and a third on the way. It is a beautiful knife especially at the price, even the regular price. Just be aware of the grind, it is typical Schrade in my experience over past decade. Overall a inexpensive, sturdy, beautiful traditional lockback with better then normal budget steel especially at price point. Oh, and no blade wrap on the 2 I have. Ignore the negative reviews, sure there re going to be duds that slip by, common on mass-produced knives in general at this price point especially, this is Amazon, exchange it and move on. Perfect...no but very nice at price and well worth it. Benchmade, Spyderco, ZT are my favorite brands among more.Update: 6/23 it is holding up very well, it does hold a sharp edge and has no chipping issues. It sees zip ties, wood (soft and hard), cardboard, rope, heavy plastic and slice phonebook paper cleanly. Worth buying at regular price, a bargain on sale. Just picked up my fifth one.A side note: I love oldtimer BUT, I like the bone series and heritage series alot, and still buy some for gifts and collecting, BUT, have to give my recent experience with CS/repair dept.. it is non existent/useless, sorry oldtimer,but after a few months pondering, I feel others should hear of my experience. I have many new in the box oldtimers in multiples. Took a new in the box 2-3 year old 94otb out to sharpen for use (your grinds are very inconsistent) no biggie I like to sharpen knives. But upon inspection, both spey and clip blades whining fully open position had noticeable gap between blade tang and backsprings, thus one had about 2mm of up and down blade play and the other about 3mm of play, in open position. Ok,bummer,I'll send it in. Did as instructed on oldtimer website, contact them for rma#.... no response after a work week,sent another to CS...nothing after a week+, so I printed and filled out the work request form from their website and sent knife in anyways. No emails or any contact attempted, and yes I double checked my contact information. Three weeks later, package arrived from them, three weeks is very good thought, opened box and my knife was in there, untouched, not fixed, no letter,no explanation,nothing. Attempted to contact again for explanation...,and you guessed it, nothing. So though I like oldtimer alot and will likely buy more, I will regard their "limited lifetime-warranty" to be non existent, I hate to give such negative feedback on a company I like and support, but it is what it is, my own experience and have given them ample time to address with zero representation from American outdoor brands,very sad. So buy knowing,warranty might be non existent. And if your experience is better, then I am happy for you. I am a knife knut and collect alot of knives, mostly premium folders, but have a soft spot for budget high value knives as well, and give them as gifts regularly. Might have to stock up on more RR's instead. Just wanted to give buyers a heads up. I chucked the 94otb to toolbox,my other 5 94otb's are good overall, minor imperfections I'm used to from budget brands. I like and have multiples of all bone and heritage series, but will only buy them from a business that has no hassle return or buy in person only. Take it for what you want.
Just what I ordered
This knife is hands down amazing for under $25 highly recommended
Love everything about it.....high quality knife!
Bought this knife on the recommendation of Thrifty Kaniffy, Its garbage, not sure why he pushes this Chinese junk.
I’m adding a little more traditional knifes to my collection . For the price I figured how can I loose . It looks great . Feels solid. The D2 steel is fine for a edc knife especially at that price . Great size for a pocket drop . It’s a great beater knife .I like carrying it . It does have a oh so slight grind I can feel just before it reaches the locking point when I open it . I think that will wear with time . The back lock is solid and releases like it should ! Out of the box the blade grind was terrible. But again for the price I was fine spending a few minutes fixing it . I would definitely buy this again
When amazon dropped the price to $16.47 over the Thanksgiving weekend, I hit it. The fit & finish is fairly good. There's one proud pinhead. The liners have unpleasantly sharp edges. There's a very slight gap on the top of the knife. There's a smaller-than-a-pinhead black spot on the blade that cannot be felt or removed. Don't know what that is. On mine the centering is about 60/40. The knife was not very sharp out of the box, and my first pass at sharpening did not make it as sharp as I expected. Now, a few days later, I see that the knife is $33.54 on amazon. I'm satisfied with the knife for what I paid for it. But I can't recommend the knife at its current price. Once you get up in the $35 area, you can do better.
