Gator Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 At least some suggestions on one. I ahve always used Schrade Old Timers. Well I lost one today, went to WALMART to get a new one, they didn't have any. Asked the clerk about them, they have gone out of business. So now I need to find an alternative brand. I want something with a carbon steel blade, as they are easy for me to sharpen, and seem to hold an edge real well. Anyone know of a blade that has those characteristics?

Gator Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife Keep in mind it needs to be a small compact size knife, preferebly a 3 blade pocketknife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife Nothing wrong with a Case, Jason. Same warranty as old timers I believe. You might check some pawn shops if you're biased to the Old Timers brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife Who carries the CASE brand around here kevin? All I am really looking for is a suitable replacement brand that has close to the same characteristics I am looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife Aw, you guys are gonna laugh, but for a general all purpose carrying around pocket knife, that silly looking swiss army knife that somebody bought me is about the best pocket knife I've ever had. No, it's not one of those silly looking ones with the 9000 accessories, that about 3" wide. The whole thing is only about a 1/2" thick. I'm not sure what the steel is that they put in that critter, but it seems to hold an edge forever. Also, it seems to be indestructable. I've had mine since the 1980's and have carried it everyday. It's not the kind of thing you would want to gut a deer with (but in a pinch you probably could), so it really depends on what you want to use it for.

hangunnr Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife I've been carrying CRKT knives for the last 5 or 6 years and can't say enough about how good their blades are. I've got two from the M16 series that are very nice pieces for the money. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife The buck pocketknives are nice and hold an edge real well. My grandfather uses one and it is used everyday. Case knives seem to be pretty good as well. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Re: Need a Pocketknife I like the CRKT's and I have a Colt Cobra, but they are more of a tactical style knife than you want probably. Case's are nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
