At six years old my stepfather gave me my first pocket knife and it was a Barlow. My first fixed blade knife was a Buck 119, I was eight years old. I got my first firearm that year too, a Winchester. 22 tube fed slide action rifle. Needless to say, I was one happy camper. My stepfather was an awesome man and started teaching me skills at a young age.
My Dad always carried a Case 6295 whenever we were out. He did everything under the sun with that knife! From cutting up food to making traps and triggers. That knife is one of my most prized possessions. The memories I have of him with that knife make it priceless.
I've been carrying my Cub Scout knife for 38 years now. Blade, awl, flat head screwdriver, bottle opener. Made n the USA ( New York) by Camillus. It has never let me down.
I still have my Cub Scout Knife as well. I got it when I was seven years old, back in 1959. I keep it not-quite shaving sharp. It has done many jobs well. About ten years ago, I placed it in "Retired" status; this, due to my increasing absent-mindedness. I feared I might misplace it. It rests in a place of honor on my fireplace mantle. It is good to know that there are those who still keep some traditions alive. Carry on, Scout!
I don't go anywhere without my old Leatherman Wave. It's been on my belt for 23 years and has been ued for everything from food prep to camp chores and more.
Great video! As a teenager back in the 70's, I always carried a Schrade Uncle Henry LB7 Bear Paw for big work and either a Schrade Barlow or a Case 2 bladed Copperhead detailed work. The 2 knife combo never let me down or left me feeling like I needed more knife. I carried the 2 knife system for 20 years in the Army I still to this day carry a 2 knife system.
That presentation is nicely done. It´s always nice to see that knives that just work do not do it by chance. It´s the result of careful design. The classics are still around for a reason. The folder also is less visible and doesn´t spook people you meet. In my neck of the woods that might be an advantage.
Blackie I always has my sak in walnut scales or my schrade barlow but uk knife laws are changing because of animals going around sticking one another I always carry my hand carved oak shillaglah fighting stick it's a walking aid but a martial art of Ireland I always look forwards to seeing your content due to very strict uk knife laws a locking blades arnt allowed for edc but I prefure nostalgia like Tom soyer carving handy fun items with my sub 3 inch legal carry barlow if its good enough for Tom soyer or huckleberry finn it's good enough for me too I absolutely love schrade pocket knives and rough rider great quality and price 🍻🇺🇲👍🇮🇹🦊🐾
As a young man ( long ago ) I carried many Schrade Old Timer knives (this very model ) and I thought the Old Timer name was Ironic . Fifty years latter I still carry Old Timer knives ( old stock \ U.S.A. made ) but now I find the Old Timer name accurately descriptive . Great video . Thank You .
Thanks Blackie, I’ve had a knife like your for years and they’re tough enough to make a fire board, a great all purpose. My other knife is my Swiss Army. Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
On my 21st birthday I got a Schrade Old-Timer two bladed knife like what you're using on this video. I've went through several folding knife sheaths but the knife has made a lot of work easy. I'm 67 years old now and I use it all the time. Old timers knives are the best.
Hi Blackie! I have noticed a trend, as I am getting older, my knives are getting smaller. When I was a kid I thought you needed a bayonet or a trench knife but now I carry a Victorianox pioneer and a Mora . Regards and best, Pink.
Good point and excellent video brother! Something to mention is Nessmuk and all these guys what they did is develop a system that worked for them and their preferences. They can work for us, but we can also develop our own. We are lucky in a way they weren’t as we have so many more options to choose from. Makes it harder in a way.
I’ve had the Uncle Henry version for decades, one of the early ones with the heat treated stainless blade. Perfect for processing deer. The saw is more for the pelvis than the breastbone. The blade is heavy enough to just rip up through the cartilage around the breastbone. But it’s also light enough and maneuverable enough for deboning. The Buck 110 is good, too, but I prefer the slightly longer, thinner blade on the Schrade. Heck, I’ve even used it to clean fish. That’s pretty versatile! 😃
I recently just picked up a buck stockman for those times when i need a knife and don't want to pull out something more tactical. I usually carry either my crkt spew or minimalist Bowie and the buck stockman. I also usually carry a multi tool as well.
I have a Fieldmaster kicking around somewhere. However, my favorite for a bushcraft/fieldcraft folder is the Victorinox Rangergrip 78. I realize it doesn't have the scissors, but it has the larger saw and main blade. In addition, the main blade is a lock back and is a one hand opener.
To me, folding knives is an infinitely more interesting topic than fixed blades. These are the knives you keep on you everyday. People have fixated on fixes blades for so long. But, more and more I see them putting their fixed blades in their pack, or even just in their vehicle. As you gain more experience, you realize fixed blades are just cumbersome. And, with enough practice, you can meet all your needs with a proper folding knife.
Great video. That's a nice knife. I have a pocket folder hunter. From Case . Old school one. Not the crap there selling to day that for shore. The new ones lack the walk and talk and pull. Ya if I get the money I think I will pick up one like you got I like it. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Thanks.
Imperial Schrade used that big frame for several great knives over many decades, I have a craftsman 95091 which has 2 blades and one is a liner lock. A tank of a knife. Great review.
That one and the Buck 110, you nailed it in both videos! Hello from East LA, or as we call it East lower Alabama! Kinda lower anyway definitely East, near an interstate, anyway carry on!
Felix Immler demonstrated how to safely baton with a SAK folder so you don't damage the pivot. Only open half way and grip at the pivot point. No stress on the pivot. Like that knife, Blackie.
Thank you for busting the batoning myth. I may have a couple years on you and always could find squaw wood to get a fire going, even under snow in the dead of winter. I just learned of this Old Timer from your video. My little kit has a Victorinox Walker in it; almost identical in purpose and function.
The old Schrade and Uncle Henry knives were good tools. I carry a SAK, a folding saw, and a large (11" overall) fixed-blade knife I made myself back in 1980. The fixed-blade is made of 440C and, in concert with the folding saw, can do all that I need to do, with the SAK reserved for the fine stuff.
Blackie, I have a Old Timer 25OT two folding hunting knife with a lanyard hole also a Old Timer 125OT single locking blade both with leather belt case . I bought them both while I station in Germany 1980-1982 .I got both of them for $15.00 a piece at the Rod and Gun Club that I was a member of. Great knives I also have the Buck 110 .Outstanding Knife video I wished that you would do more knives videos. Thanks Again for all you do and sharing your vast knowledge and experience, wisdom. Passing on the Craft. Tim L.
Evening Blackie. Really enjoy your knife videos. Still have a couple like that laying around in my knife drawer. They've served me well throughout the years.
That folder in the picture is nicknamed a cigar whittler. I grew up going back and forth between the old timer hunter like that with two blades and the saw. From Bush work to deer skinning and processing. Good knives.
Nicely put. I have two folding hunters. One is an old Ka-bar and a newer model from Rough Rider that does just as good of a job. Most of the time I carry a folding trapper or a large Stockman. My father used a regular size Barlow for everything except large animals. Most don't realize how old the Barlow is or that it was George Washington's prefered style of folding knife.
My dad just gave me his old case knife he had in Vietnam on a destroyer in the navy. I don’t want to use it because of its history, but it’s still a awesome knife. Unbelievably strong lock up still like yours. Blades were used every single day on rigging lines. Grind’s aren’t even, yet ludicrous sharp. My dad said only one guy on the destroyer knew how to sharpen knives so all the sailors would give him their knives to sharpen 😅. I cleaned it up and sharpened it just the way his friend did it and didn’t change the angles. I think I’m going to frame it, even though it’s a great knife still. I’ve never seen a knife so worn yet so tight still. I’d depend on that knife any day even still.
Great video Blackie, I have a few Old Timer knives. I've never seen the 2250T before, until your videos. I'd like to find one of those. Hopefully they still make them. Thanks !👍
I've got all the gear I ever need (except more guns since you can't have too many) but I try to do everything camping and crafting with my EDC Swiss Army Knife. That way, I know, for sure, I can get by with just it if I had to for some crazy reason. It'll do it but having a diverse kit makes life easier. Thank you for all you do, sir.
My EDC Swiss Army Knife has been the Explorer lately but was the Pioneer X or Climber for years. You CAN use just a SAK for the woods but it is best used to supplement beefier tools.
I carry an old 60's Case folding hunter that was my grandpa's. It's Lazer sharp, does all the duties I need it to do, and it has never, ever let me down.
My sister bought me one of these for my 20th birthday. It came with a brown leather belt sheath. I never used it. I put it in my drawer still in its box and that's where it stayed since 1982. I already had my Buck 110, Case bone Trapper, and Uncle Henry 3 blade Rancher with those yellow scales.
Exactly. I usually use a Mora Garberg for everything *but* food prep. For food prep I use a lightweight Buck 110 that's always clipped in my pocket. For everything else there's the new Silky Pocketboy (the black blade model), Swiss Army Knife w/mini-saw, and a camping axe.
Hey Blackie- This was a good presentation of a useful good size folder. Im pretty impressed with the beefyness of the saw it has. Ive never carried a folder like your before, but I might be changing my mind now. Thanks for the video and you be careful out there-
My dad bought me a big Kabar just like that Old Timer you have, when I was about 13 years old, except it didn't have the saw. It had two blades instead. It was my every day carry knife for several years, as a farm kid. Later I went on to the Buck 110 and Puma Game Warden knives. I still carry a Custom Buck 110, 50 years later, but I also still own a couple of CASE Knives just like that Old Timer you have in this video, but not with the saw. Back in my youth, I usually carried both the big Kabar and a Case 3 blade stockman. Together, I always had the right blade for the task at hand.
I’ve had a Buck 110 on my belt everyday since I got my first on my 10th birthday in 1976. In the city or in the woods that’s always with me. May not have all the bells and whistles of the “latest greatest” but it’s never failed me and has gotten me out of a few jams over the years. Now for the rare times I do travel to a state with stupid knife laws I do sub in the 3” Buck 112, but you will never see me without one of those two classic Bucks.
Blackie ,I have an Old Timer similar to yours , it only has 1 blade and no saw. That was my EDC knife that I carried to work , now that I'm retired I carry a fixed blade. I might get the Old Timer out of retirement and carry it again.
Hey, g ppl d to see that Old Timer! I put bolsters on those knives when They were still Schrade- Walden in Ellenville, NY. Every year I would get a new fish filet knife for my Uncle. They are built to last! Uncle Jack still had those fillet knives when he died! Not the best, but, good is good enough. I enjoy watching your videos because they make sense to me at 74 years old...
The Field Master is my all-time favorite Swiss Army Knife, though I sometimes carry a Tinker when I need something light and slim in my pocket. I love the Buck 110 too and have been thinking about getting a new one, the web-exclusive model with the drop-point blade. There are a lot of nice Schrade Old Timer models, I love my traditional knives.
A knife is a tool. Tools can be used to make other tools. If you need to split something, use the knife to make wedges. Works like a dream and protects your knife.
I'm with you on that batoning stuff, nope. That size case knife is coveted at our deer camp for skinning deer, but in carbon steel, but were all over 60. An carbon steel rules for us, even tho we have other pocket knives we carry for daily use that are SS. Yeah can't wait for the Buck 110's vid lol.
I am 73 years old.I remember when I was 9or10 my uncle carried old timer folding hunters.He never carried a belt knife.He always had a freezer with 2 years supply of wild meat.The knives had one two blades.The blades were very sharp,if you touched them you would cut yourself. The blades were pretty worn ,from years of use.This was in Redfield Arkansas.
Couldn't find the 2250T but was able to pick up its littler brother, the model 970T that also has a toothpick and metal tweezers. I've been looking for a good small saw blade and this thing sure does the trick. Thanks pointing out this style of knife.
I bought a pathfinder "woodsman wedgie" when they first came out..really does work for splitting wood and saving my knife edge..I seem to remember a shrade advertisement about using that folder for big game..as always..LOVE this channel!
Ive got two of these. (Thought id lost the first one) i absolutely love them. Theyre fantastic crafting knives for most anything you'd need, and clean fish well. I use the spine of the saw as a scaler. The only downside with the new ones is the sheaths beltloop, if it can even be called one. Sewn on flat, and can barely get a piece of paper in there, much less a belt. The knife itself however, is fantastic. May need to clean the gunk out of it when you get a new one though, pretty gritty.
👍 Very nice presentation. I have 2 Hubertus knives (1 lever lock & 1 slip joint) each with a clip point blade and a saw about the same size as your Old Timer. As you so effectively point out, a very useful woods tool - camping/hunting/fishing.
This style of folder is very old, they usually hade two blades, one clip and one with a straight back (Case still makes them like that). I have a Schrade like yours, it's a big heavy knife, but don't weigh more than a Buck 110 actually. Perhaps a little less even!?
Nice concept for this knife but what use is the not easily replaced saw once it dulls? A ferro striker? Reground to an awl? I've prefered the 25 OT for having two sharpenable blades. Got my first in the '70's and a gifted one in the early '80's. I rarely go into the woods without one. A fantastic backup if not a light weekend primary. A separate, longer, more efficient saw seems a better option.
Have the slightly smaller Buzzsaw Trapper which is a slipjoint blade and locking saw. I really like it and it's very useful. I did not know there was a bigger version with a locking hunting blade and saw. You become accustomed to having something on you you can get close to the work with, it's just easier in the long run.
Many of the old folder patterns are useful as part of your woods kit. A Stockman, Trapper, or Sodbuster are all good. A folding Hunter with a saw may be tougher to find......but SAK has saws covered...
At six years old my stepfather gave me my first pocket knife and it was a Barlow. My first fixed blade knife was a Buck 119, I was eight years old.

they are good pocket knives i know several people over the years that still carry the cub scout
I still have my Cub Scout Knife as well. I got it when I was seven years old, back in 1959. I keep it not-quite shaving sharp. It has done many jobs well.
About ten years ago, I placed it in "Retired" status; this, due to my increasing absent-mindedness. I feared I might misplace it. It rests in a place of honor on my fireplace mantle.
It is good to know that there are those who still keep some traditions alive.
Carry on, Scout!
@@BBQDad463 I promise to do my best to do my duty, to God, and my Country, to help other people, and to obey the law of the Pack.
I don't go anywhere without my old Leatherman Wave. It's been on my belt for 23 years and has been ued for everything from food prep to camp chores and more.
Amen brother. I also carry a wave, best multi tool I have ever owned. And yeah been carrying for about 20 years.
I'm still carrying the Leatherman Fuse" Discontinued but strong AF . I Just wish they would have put a saw blade in it instead of Scissors
I miss my Wave, I didn’t think they still make and sold it?
leatherman knives are good and i know to many that is the pocket knife to them
Mine too! Love my old Wave!
Great video! As a teenager back in the 70's, I always carried a Schrade Uncle Henry LB7 Bear Paw for big work and either a Schrade Barlow or a Case 2 bladed Copperhead detailed work. The 2 knife combo never let me down or left me feeling like I needed more knife. I carried the 2 knife system for 20 years in the Army I still to this day carry a 2 knife system.
Funny how back in the day they used fixed knife for food and folding knife for whittling. And today we have it partially reversed. :D
Agree. A little smaller but I love to carry a Case trapper. My go to skinner
I LOVE old timer. My grandfather used to love to talk about how great they were
That presentation is nicely done. It´s always nice to see that knives that just work do not do it by chance. It´s the result of careful design. The classics are still around for a reason. The folder also is less visible and doesn´t spook people you meet. In my neck of the woods that might be an advantage.
many times it is a big advantage
Good video Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Victorinox ranger wood 55 is my in between knife awesome video
Excellent advice on the importance of the folding knife
thank you
That's a good knife
That is a fantastic knife . It is all I had for skinning and fish cleaning and cooking for many years .
Grew up with a case xx folding hunter. Decades later still carry one...
As a young man ( long ago ) I carried many Schrade Old Timer knives (this very
model ) and I thought the Old Timer name was Ironic . Fifty years latter I still

name accurately descriptive .

Something to mention is Nessmuk and all these guys what they did is develop a system that worked for them and their preferences.
They can work for us, but we can also develop our own. We are lucky in a way they weren’t as we have so many more options to choose from. Makes it harder in a way.
I’ve had the Uncle Henry version for decades, one of the early ones with the heat treated stainless blade. Perfect for processing deer. The saw is more for the pelvis than the breastbone. The blade is heavy enough to just rip up through the cartilage around the breastbone. But it’s also light enough and maneuverable enough for deboning. The Buck 110 is good, too, but I prefer the slightly longer, thinner blade on the Schrade. Heck, I’ve even used it to clean fish. That’s pretty versatile! 😃

I have the Boker version of this knife. Both the saw and the blade are lock backs. Very useful and sturdy.
Great video thank you the videos!
I have owned this exact knife since I was a teenager - so. long time!! Great knife
I love these videos God bless you Thomas

THANK YOU 🌲
You are so welcome!
I just finish reading the book that engraving was in. Very informative
Hope you enjoy it!
Carried a folding hunter since 1970 including a short tour in nam Ive never felt like I didn’t have enough knife Its done everything Ive asked of it
Carried a buck 112 for years, I am a firm believer in that size of folding knife it is just a good tool.
it gets the job done

thanks for the advice
Had a Camillus double blade like that bought it new 50 years ago.
I’ve had a Buck 110 on my belt everyday since I got my first on my 10th birthday in 1976. In the city or in the woods that’s always with me. May not have all the bells and whistles of the “latest greatest” but it’s never failed me and has gotten me out of a few jams over the years. Now for the rare times I do travel to a state with stupid knife laws I do sub in the 3” Buck 112, but you will never see me without one of those two classic Bucks.
Blackie ,I have an Old Timer similar to yours , it only has 1 blade and no saw. That was my EDC knife that I carried to work , now that I'm retired I carry a fixed blade. I might get the Old Timer out of retirement and carry it again.
i had one of the single blades yrs ago as deer cleaning knife
I have always carried a large case or my buck 110 any time I am camping hunting or just out in my kit in the truck
Hey, g ppl d to see that Old Timer! I put bolsters on those knives when They were still Schrade- Walden in Ellenville, NY. Every year I would get a new fish filet knife for my Uncle. They are built to last! Uncle Jack still had those fillet knives when he died! Not the best, but, good is good enough. I enjoy watching your videos because they make sense to me at 74 years old...
thanks for watching
u should try that new Walmart swis tech fixed blade it has impressed me light weight holds a decent edge
The Field Master is my all-time favorite Swiss Army Knife, though I sometimes carry a Tinker when I need something light and slim in my pocket. I love the Buck 110 too and have been thinking about getting a new one, the web-exclusive model with the drop-point blade. There are a lot of nice Schrade Old Timer models, I love my traditional knives.
Fieldmaster is great.
A knife is a tool. Tools can be used to make other tools. If you need to split something, use the knife to make wedges. Works like a dream and protects your knife.
wedges work best to me
good video i have a folding locker helle baja i think the name is right from finland i think good knife
helle are good blades
I'm with you on that batoning stuff, nope. That size case knife is coveted at our deer camp for skinning deer, but in carbon steel, but were all over 60. An carbon steel rules for us, even tho we have other pocket knives we carry for daily use that are SS. Yeah can't wait for the Buck 110's vid lol.
I am 73 years old.I remember when I was 9or10 my uncle carried old timer folding hunters.He never carried a belt knife.He always had a freezer with 2 years supply of wild meat.The knives had one two blades.The blades were very sharp,if you touched them you would cut yourself. The blades were pretty worn ,from years of use.This was in Redfield Arkansas.
Yup always have my Case Large Folding Hunter
Couldn't find the 2250T but was able to pick up its littler brother, the model 970T that also has a toothpick and metal tweezers. I've been looking for a good small saw blade and this thing sure does the trick. Thanks pointing out this style of knife.
Hey Blackie… your thoughts on a Gimlet for boring? Cheap, Light, easy to carry…
those are great for the small projects where you know your going to be boring holes
I bought a pathfinder "woodsman wedgie" when they first came out..really does work for splitting wood and saving my knife edge..I seem to remember a shrade advertisement about using that folder for big game..as always..LOVE this channel!
thanks for watching
Ive got two of these. (Thought id lost the first one) i absolutely love them. Theyre fantastic crafting knives for most anything you'd need, and clean fish well. I use the spine of the saw as a scaler. The only downside with the new ones is the sheaths beltloop, if it can even be called one. Sewn on flat, and can barely get a piece of paper in there, much less a belt. The knife itself however, is fantastic. May need to clean the gunk out of it when you get a new one though, pretty gritty.
👍 Very nice presentation. I have 2 Hubertus knives (1 lever lock & 1 slip joint) each with a clip point blade and a saw about the same size as your Old Timer. As you so effectively point out, a very useful woods tool - camping/hunting/fishing.
Right on
This style of folder is very old, they usually hade two blades, one clip and one with a straight back (Case still makes them like that). I have a Schrade like yours, it's a big heavy knife, but don't weigh more than a Buck 110 actually. Perhaps a little less even!?
Nice concept for this knife but what use is the not easily replaced saw once it dulls? A ferro striker? Reground to an awl? I've prefered the 25 OT for having two sharpenable blades. Got my first in the '70's and a gifted one in the early '80's. I rarely go into the woods without one. A fantastic backup if not a light weekend primary. A separate, longer, more efficient saw seems a better option.
Have the slightly smaller Buzzsaw Trapper which is a slipjoint blade and locking saw. I really like it and it's very useful. I did not know there was a bigger version with a locking hunting blade and saw. You become accustomed to having something on you you can get close to the work with, it's just easier in the long run.
very true
I like how there's a slight forward sweep to the blade, is that done much today on knives?
Many of the old folder patterns are useful as part of your woods kit. A Stockman, Trapper, or Sodbuster are all good. A folding Hunter with a saw may be tougher to find......but SAK has saws covered...
very true sak has a good saw
