Old Timer 6OT Golden Bear Folding Pocket Knife with Saw Cut Handle

Unlike the currently produced Old Timer 7OT, the 6OT appears to be well made with decent fit and finish. I have included pictures showing it next to a vintage Schrade USA 6-OT to highlight the differences in thickness and bolster shape. The new knife is thinner and lighter and the lanyard hole is much smaller. There is no obvious stainless steel pin in the brass bolster either. I also show it next to a modern Buck 110 Slim Pro knife for comparison's sake, since they are similar designs. For the price, I think this knife is a good value. I wish it came with a leather sheath, but the cordura sheath works nicely with several knives and has a clip so you can easily attach it to a belt, pocket, waistband or whatever. Pretty nice feature!

Got this on a good sale. It's a bit bigger than I thought it would be, but a very good size. Nice heft, without feeling like a cheap knife that's too heavy. About the weight you would want. Locks back very positive, and won't slip. Good feeling handle with plenty of grip. Nice brass ends. Honestly I don't know why they're selling these this cheap. Nylon case is pretty nice. You have a loop for your belt or a clip that works really well so you don't have to thread it over your belt. Just sliced my wrist open when it slipped. I was working a project with a little bit duller of a knife and switched to this one. Wow this sucker comes sharp right out of the box. Anyway, at least I can still type. If you're on the fence over this knife, get off and buy it.

Handy for my work

Notas strong as original but still good for first hunting knife for kids.

It’s lighter and thinner than a buck 110, blade isn’t centered when folded, lockback button sits proud of the handle, but for the price, it locks open solid and feels good in the hand. It’s a good knife, just not buck quality.

Great knife for the money $26.50. I also have a 7OT but wanted the 6OT with lanyard hole. In picture, blade has Schrade Super Sharp written on it but does't come that way, just for advertisement I guess, but it is very sharp out of box. So don't expect it to have this writing on blade if you buy one. Also, I had to clean and polish the brass to make it shine like the pictures shown on site. Well made knife!

90% of your lack of quality fear disappears as soon as you touch it and learn it's made in Germany. This is the best overall knife I've ever had.

I owned a twin blade folding Old Timer when I was young. I purchased this knife for my son to take on a Boy Scout backpacking trip. The longer locking blade is a nice safety feature for nervice parents. The knife is 5 inches closed, the blade is 3 3/4 inches long, and comes with a case. My son was worried about the closed length but said he forgot it was in his pocket. Good all around camping and whittling knife

Ja, hier konnte mich Schrade nicht überzeugen. Klar ist das Teil billig und sieht halbwegs gut aus, ist aber eben auch so verbaut. Klinge hat vor allem im geschlossenen Zustand sehr viel spiel und wackelt quasi. Ansonsten bin ich zufrieden, ausser das das Messer nach Krebs-Fabrik aus China riecht!
