I do miss seeing the USA stamp on an old timer or Uncle Henry knife but at the same time I've never heard a piece of rope complain about being cut with a Chinese knife. I'm just glad there is someone who is keeping the old timer brand available.
I mean honestly. I wish it was made America, but it’s not too much of a fuss. Ideally boxes would have a small marking that just simply said “carbon steel, will rust” in orange maybe on the carbon, and a “stainless steel, will not rust” maybe in blue. Simple, easily standardizable. I just like the old school grandpa knife. I daily carry a small old timer to scrape my tobacco pipe with the two blades. Put in my watch pocket. Im just glad it’s true to its roots. Im glad it doesn’t cost much. I got a 96ot trapper in my pocket right now that I use for skinning. For all of them there’s some general quality points missing for fit and finish, but I mean for $20. There’s American made knives for $100 I wish had this heft and seriousness and capability this had. But then again there’s a reason the good old American lever action rifles had its time before semi automatic rifles. Less stuff to go wrong. Simple rivets holding 5 or so flat metal pieces with a handle in these knives.
Love the old vs. new comparisons. Keep em coming.
I have a 340T from the 1980s. No rust or patina. I have never used it because my grandfather gave it to me.😊
Great comparison thanks. Much. Enjoyed
Thanks TK for the share. Never had an Old Timer ... should try out.
This is a great video TK , thanks pal 👍👍
I have one from 1991 not much blade left but luv the little knife.
good comparison Thanks TK
This was a great comparison, buddy. The 33OT is a really nice pattern, IMO. Cheers!
Thank you for the video TK
Great looking knife! I have a few Old Timers! Great knives!
Bought the USA340t years ago at Walmart, and even in storage, the blades would stain, if not maintained and cleaned. The new 330T is slightly different, but just as nice as the old one, and the price difference, is great, thanks for the video!
A old/new comparison is always cool.
I have one I found in the late 70s, good shape, still works great. I don't care for the weird blade angle on the Chinese one or I'd get one.
Funny to see this, I just received the similar USA 34OT in the mail. I’ve enjoyed collecting a few American made knives, but to use I actually prefer the new ones. No complaints here.
the new er ones are what is call a throwing knife, you walk up to the biggest lake you can find and throw it as far as you can to the middle of the lake so no one can ever find it again !!!! i love the old ones though
Love those square end bolsters
Thanks again,
Welcome back!
