Old Timer

Old Timer markets traditional slip-joint pocketknives, fixed-blade hunters, and companion sharpening tools. Most models are priced between $20 and $60, situating the line in the budget-to-mid-range tier for U.S.-made or U.S.-designed cutlery. Knives are sold through the brand’s own e-commerce site and a nationwide network of sporting-goods chains, hardware stores, and outdoor retailers. The knives are built around brass-barrel construction, Delrin saw-cut handles, and high-carbon stainless blades that can be resharpened in the field. Every pattern—from the 3-blade “Senior” to the 7OT “Sharpfinger” skinner—references a 1950s-1980s Schrade catalog number, giving the line heritage credibility without vintage price inflation. Lifetime warranty coverage and made-in-the-USA final assembly for key models reinforce the positioning. Core buyers are hunters, ranchers, and tradesmen who want a dependable secondary knife that can be replaced without “babying” it. The brand also attracts younger EDC enthusiasts looking for a legal, non-threatening slip-joint they can carry daily and pass down, aligning with values of practicality, self-reliance, and American manufacturing tradition. Old Timer competes against mass-market traditional folders from offshore suppliers and against entry-level tactical knives. It differentiates by retaining classic handle profiles and carbon-steel heat treats while undercutting most U.S.-built heritage brands on price, offering nostalgia-driven design with modern corrosion resistance and a lifetime service policy.
