This is the Schrade model 108OT Old Timer Minuteman. The larger of the two blades is only 2", and when closed the whole thing is only 2.8". Amazon listing claims it's 7cr17 stainless steel, which would be outstanding for $5.10 before shipping. Other sites have it listed as being made out of 400 series stainless which usually means 420J2 or something similar, which is a very budget steel. It's still an ok steel for this kind of little knife, IMHO.

All the usual disclaimers on these kinds of knives: There is no lock, the blade is only held open by the friction of the detent. Be careful if you decide to go all staby staby with it. Yes, it's small. Yes, it's made in China. Yes, it will rust if you don't keep it clean, dry and occasionally lubed. No, it's not a flipper. No, it's not tactical. Did I mention it's small?

It won't hold an edge exceptionally long, so you will need to know how to sharpen. Thin little blades like this should get really sharp and be exceptionally slicers. The little pen blade will be great for fine carving. No, Schrade/Old Timer knives aren't built quite as well as they were 50 years ago, so jump in your time machine and yada yada. Or go buy a used one for more money that is not likely to serve you much better than a modern built one, if at all.

At this price, especially if you are a Prime member or ordering $25+ for free shipping, it's a great little knife. If I didn't already have one, or knew some young folks who needed their first knife, I'd be buying several.

My pleasure. I have a small collection of about 40-50 budget folders with some fixed blades mixed in and love to talk about knives in general. Much of what I post is pretty basic info, but if it helps someone pick out their first knife or know what to expect, then it makes me feel good to help out.

That doesn't look like a fixed blade knife.

I appreciate it! Apologies for highjacking the thread but since you're knowledgeable and have a number of "budget" knives, do you have a rec for a sub-$100 and/or a sub-$50 EDC? Am aware of the higher-end stuff and most of the pros and cons regarding steels and alloys.

Thanks again!

I have owned several Old Timer knives over the years. Very poor blade quality. You will need to sharpen it every use unless you like a dull blade. Or maybe if you just use it to scrape under your fingernails.

thanks. was thinking about buying this for an actual "old timer" that has one of these built forever ago and is high quality. do you have any recommendations on a very similar knife made of higher quality? somewhere iin the $30 range? small, with a dual blade. you seem to be someone who would know.

This was going to be my comment, but you beat me to it. Blade dulls out very quickly, and as the old saying goes, a dull knife will cut you easier than a sharp blade.

Is this a decent knife to start learning how to whittle? My grandpa also had one like this 30+ years ago, so I'm interested in the nostalgic vibes. I'm also wanting to learn basic whittling this winter. If it's not good for whittling, what are some good use cases for this kind of knife? I'm looking for justification to buy it, if that's not clear. Smilie
