Pros & Cons
Pros
Buck is still pretty good quality even though most of them are foreign made. The bronze ends look very nice and sleek, and the overall appearance of the knife is great. If you buy this knife when it comes in you will have to clean the brass to make it... Read More
The leather sheath is good quality, but is still made to fit the original version made before taylor bought out schrade. The knife fits a bit lose in the sheath but that’s preferable as it allows for a smooth draw. The stitches look relatively weak, b... Read More
The measurements are all in the correct ballpark. The blade has no wobble left or right, or up and down! Also, the handle is fitted right, and the pins are pinged almost perfect.
Cons
The quality of this knife is abysmal! The handle is made of cheap plastic, etc. One of the handles has a 32th of an inch gap where it is supposed to meet the brass. There were visible scratches on the brass ends.
Returned for refund. It's not worth the time to send it back.
Highlights
Quality
It is sturdy the right weight and functional.
Quality full leather belt sheath is excellent.
Stabbed a hole in my hand sharp don't worry nothing electrical tape and a rag can't fix very durable i love old timers
This particular 70t old timer cave bear is not made in the good ol' usa.
Price
It's a great knife for the money $25.
This is a good knife for a great price and it has nice size to it.
Otherwise i’m pleased with it for the money spent.
Couldn't ask for more for the price
Packaging/appearance
And it came with a really nice carrying case!
It was loosly wrapped in the original paper inside the sheath, however clearly not 'factory' wrapped.

Competitiveness
I am an avid knife enthusiast and have owned 100s of knives over the years this knife rivals more expensive knives.
This old timer is a better value than i first gave it credit for, and am now collecting other traditional knives made in china.
I have seen some reviews and can't see anyone giving this knife less than a 5 star rating, unless you have some manufacturers f... Read More
The next smaller knife is a better deal.

In order to open it one handed i had to do many sessions of opening just prior to lockup and closing it literally thousands of cycles to smooth out the pivot

Its now showing some mirror polish where the lock back meets the base of the blade and is almost as smooth and easy as my buck knives

Can recommend as a decent utility knife but not as an heirloom
