Old Timer 294OT Liner Lock Trapper 7.2in Traditional Pocket Knife with 1 High Carbon Stainless Steel Clip Point Blade, Pocket Clip, and Ergonomic Sawcut Handle for Hunting, Camping, EDC, and Outdoors

Likely my favorite pocketknife A great work knife, stays sharp and sharpens easily Downside: This blade stains very easily

Great knife! It's a very handy size and rides well in the pocket. The blade opened and locked well with one hand. You have all the utility of a modern style one hand opening knife with the classic good looks of the old timer. I have many pocket knifes but I was instantly taken with this knife and have carried with me since I've received it. Great value for the money!

I’ve never been fond of Old Timer knives, but this one changed my mind. I know a little something about sharpening things. When I opened the knife, I was really taken aback by how sharp this one is. It does have one design factor I’m really not hep on. It’s ‘Butt heavy’, meaning when I open it with one hand it slides down through my hand butt first and threatens to slide through my hand bringing my fingers too close to the blade. Once I practiced opening and closing it one handed for 20-30 minutes I got familiar with it and could handle it easier. The blade impressed ne. It was wasaaay sharp. Usually I have to touch up the blade on most knives I buy, but not this one. This will be my EDC. I like it.

Okay, this is a $15 Chinese made pocket knife, let's just get that out of the way. The fit and finish are not up to the standards of a Case or Boker but it's surprisingly nice for the money. The "saw cut delrin" (plastic) covers (scales) are well fitted. The polish on the bolsters could be a little better but this is a using knife, not a showpiece anyway. The pocket clip works well, i has sufficient grip to keep it in place but releases cleanly. The thumb stud configuration took some getting used to. I have many thumb stud tactical folders from Benchmade etc and this is a different animal. It's slim profile (front to back), stud location and the uneven drag of the liner lock make it more challenging to "flick" consistently than tactical folders. It can be done but it takes some adaptation. That said it is still easy and handy to deploy at a moderate speed. The blade on my example locks up tightly and the lock has full width engagement and releases easily. It has a nice thin traditional pocket knife profile that takes a razor sharp edge. It was even fairly sharp out of the box. This type of knife is not ideal for really abusive jobs so look elsewhere if you need a folder you can baton through engine blocks or something. On the other hand this inexpensive little guy will slice pepperoni or peel an apple better than any of my high dollar tactical folders. I find myself carrying and using it quite a bit.

I really wanted to like this knife because I was stoked I could find a single-hand-opening pocket knife with a pocket clip that looked like my father's old folding Buck knife. Not intimidating at all to your average person and practical (I thought). It is exactly that, and this thing is very sharp, holds an edge well, and is also easy to sharpen. That's about the end of the positives for me though. Now for why I don't like this knife. First off is the pocket clip. It's too tight. So tight in fact that it ripped the pocket on my old pair of jeans trying to slip if over the fabric. Those pants were ready to go anyway, but it's pretty extreme, and even after using it awhile, it's still just as tight. Also, when you do get the clip in your pocket, it sits the knife quite a bit proud of the top of your pocket, which means I frequently catch it on stuff. The hinge area doesn't have super sharp corners, but they are still sharp enough that if I'm carrying something heavy and my forearm or hand drags across it, it tears me up a bit. Second thing I wasn't fond of was the tip. Way too pointy for my liking. I actually stabbed myself in the hand a couple times with it handling it. Not deep mind you, but it is really so easy to break the skin with it. It's actually better in that respect now because I broke the tip off accidentally and re-shaped it on my belt sander to be slightly more blunt. Trust me when I say this though, it's still plenty easy to stab things with this even with the modification. Last is opening and closing. It has gotten better with a few months of use, but when I first bought the knife it was near impossible to get the knife open one-handed, and it's still quite difficult in my hands. Closing is equally difficult. The flat detent spring lock has a very sharp corner that digs into your thumb and requires a lot of force to release the blade. Just like with the tip, I've cut myself a couple times closing because of how hard it is to release. You're putting a lot of pressure on the knife to the point that it's hard to control what your index finger is doing simultaneously, and it snaps closed and comes down on your thumb. Now it did just barely break the skin, but just the opening and closing issues for this knife alone are a deal breaker. This problem is bad enough that I find I often won't immediately close the blade and put it back in my pocket if I'm working on a project. Instead, it sits there unsheathed and at the ready, which is bad when I forget it's laying there and walk away. I have kids in the house, and I've forgotten to grab it a couple times when I walk away. Not good.

I have always carried a pocket knife, but this one is my favorite. I use it multiple times every day and its needing a good sharpening. Love the knife.

I really like the classic styling, but the modern clip, handle material and thumb release of this knife. It is like a sleeper tactical knife, lol. It is a little larger than I expected (perfect size for me). This would normally be great but I live in Japan now they have pretty harsh knife laws. I will still carry it sometimes, but I purchased a somewhat smaller, more benign looking knife for day-to-day carry. I highly recommend this knife.

Sharp after 9 catfish Love this HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for carry and QUALITY 💯

Excelente navaja; es de mis preferidas. Cuando esta abierta tiene ligeramente desviada la hoja pero es casi imperceptible, no dificulta la apertura ni el cierre

Es una muy buena navaja a un muy buen precio. vale cada peso que cuesta. Diseño muy bueno, seguro para la hoja y no pierde el filo fácilmente, no se batalla para volver a afilar y resistente a la oxidación. No hace bulto en el bolsillo y te permite caminar o trabajar sin molestar. Muy recomendada.

En si la navaja no es mala, sólo tuve que ajustar el mecanismo de trabado para que no se cierre accidentalmente, lo demás muy bien

A tiempo
