Please do

@@rickkerans8485 The info up now. Thanks Rick.

Maybe one day you could do a video about how you acquired that vintage knife ?

It was a different world. Thanks, Thomas.

Little treasures, and sometimes for a reasonable price.

My son hates the smell, but that's okay I don't always like how he smells either. Haha. Thanks David.

It's always good to hear that someone's returned an older piece to use. Good buy at $7. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Thanks for the kind words. I really take a lot of pleasure in cleaning up these older ones. It's meditative and relaxing. Take care, MrMultitool, and welcome to the channel.

Thanks KD. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the process.

Amazing what a little elbow grease can do. Thanks, Jimmy.

Thanks Rick, much appreciated.

Sure, no problem. It didn't require much work though really and now it won't continue to rust. Thanks, MrMT.

Thanks Rick. I'll make it at home in the pocket.

You have a wonderful history with the 34OT. Thanks for sharing, Zack. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hey thanks Su. Elbow grease can work wonders.

OK. It's safe now Shannon. I think it turned out nice. Take care.

Thanks so much Rick. It turned out as well as I could've hoped.

Thanks for the feedback Hal. Nice of you to provide those knives for RJ in the giveaway. Take care.

He sounds like a righteous dude. I love me some Old Timer. Thanks Zaymeel

Thank you too, Sameer. Love the Old Timers.

Much appreciated LTC. Hope it helps inspire a few knives getting cleaned up.

Yep been hard used and the spring isn't what it once was. That's okay, the blade is small enough it's not a real issue. Thanks for watching RJ.

Yep, just need to get it nice and sharp and add it to the rotation. Thanks JP.

It's a very therapeutic exercise, Gerard.

Thanks so much Steve. I thought it turned out nice. Thanks for taking a look through the archives.

They are little treasures aren't they. Love 'em! Thanks Mark.

Thanks for watching. Welcome to the channel.

Sorry to hear that. These are great little knives and the knives I grew up seeing in my youth as well.

It was a right nice fixer upper. I enjoy bringing them back to life. Thanks for having a look, Radar. 👍🏼👍🏼

The Generational series as it stands is not the answer. That series did not meet the level of the original USA made knives in many ways and I feel it misrepresented itself as counterparts to models they claimed to be. Take a look at the 94OTG and 94OT in hand, you'll see exactly what I mean. I appreciate the attempt, but they did not hit the mark for me with that series. Hopefully they'll do something similar again in the future with more attention to detail. True the Chinese made OTs are not as well refined as the USA made, but I've had no problem with the 7Cr17 blade material and I like a large number of their smaller patterns which I'd choose over like priced competitors due to the thickness of the blade stock and the good blade spacing within the channel. The move to stainless steel was thought of as an improvement. Look at Uncle Henry and their move to Schrade + blades in the 80's, but the knife nerds want carbon blades and I understand that nostalgia, but you have to understand one man's patina is another man's rust.

The Buzzsaw is a neat one. The saw is great. Thanks JHAYKHAY.

Thanks Tony, had some good age to it.

@@ThriftyKaniffy Yup, I live the patina that the old Schrades get. In fact the only thing I don't like about them is the way they pinned the blades. They get blade play over time and you can't fix it.

Hey thanks Stephen. Glad you liked the cleanup.

Had some plaque removed didn't it. Thanks Jeffrey.

Thank you, Richard.

They are classic knives. It turned out pretty well. Thanks for having a watch, Uke.

Yea I didn't try to overdo it. Thanks Elphoenix.

Yep, just did it by hand DD. Thanks, I agree.

Thanks PRH, welcome to the channel.

Most welcome, Sameer.

Rewarding when you''re done though, isnt it?. Thanks William.

Might be easier on the arthritis Stuart.

Yep. That's my guess as well. Hard used. Thanks KD.

The level of cleaning becomes a personal choice based on what you're trying to achieve. Thanks, John.

I don't mind doing it by hand, it's rather therapeutic. Rather neglected wasn't it?

@@ThriftyKaniffy Yes Sir

Same to you, Herbert. Here's to a great '23. Cheers!

The first step I used Glass Plus surface cleaner just to rid the knife of any dirt and loose stuff. Sounds like a fun project Rick. Welcome to the channel.

@@ThriftyKaniffy Thank you. They are really crunchy with rust on them. Thanks for the information

Check out the description for the materials used. Tough to show sharpening unless it's a larger knife. I'll have to whetstone these blades and I'm still "honing" my craft.

@@ThriftyKaniffy Thank you, i'll will look better.

@@ThriftyKaniffy I totally missed the complete discription of materials used. Sorry

Check the updated description I added all the materials. I enjoy bringing a neglected knife back to something to be admired. Thanks wagstaff.

@@ThriftyKaniffy Nice! Thanks for the update!

Old school stuff there. Thanks for the tip, One.

Check eBay to get an idea.

Check the updated description I put it all in there. Thanks Lewis.

Thank you

@@ThriftyKaniffy I think I am going to start looking at old timer they are very similar

I haven't tried CLR on these before, but perhaps in the future. Thanks, Aaron.

7Cr17Mov if memory serves. Thanks, Man Cave.

Darn. Junk steel. Thanks for telling me.@@ThriftyKaniffy

Thanks for the feedback Grahame. The Chinese versions are pretty well done.

👌All cleaning materials are listed in the description.
