Review of the Schrade Old Timer Buzzsaw Trapper Pocket Knife. Model # 97OT. More than your ordinary trapper, the Buzzsaw has some nice additional features. #ThriftyKaniffy

The Schrade Old Timers series are just great value. A good companion saw for a whittling knife 🔪 😉

Same here. Nice to have a useful secondary blade instead of blade you can use for spreading peanut butter (Spay)

I think the Old Timers are a good knife for the money. Looks like a nice useful knife. I have a 69OT, which has a gut hook in addition to the saw and clip point.

Hi North Star. Old Timers are good value. I like the job their doing. Not sure I've seen the 69OT yet.

I saw Knife Detector do a review on an older one and I liked it. I may have to add this one to the collection. I like that they include a sheath with it. Nice review!
@ThriftyKaniffy2 жыл бұрын
I was willing to buy it even before I knew it came with the sheath. When I notcied that it did, it was a no-brainer.

Recently I scored a 97 OT and a 96 OT on Amazon. The 97 came with Pouch ($25) the 96 did not ($15) The Pouch is obviously not made for either being a bit too large (same Pouch that comes with the LB7). You claimed yours fit and didn't rattle. Mine does! The 2 knives are exactly the same size, have the exact same tools. Other than One has a Bone saw and slightly longer blade, There is very little difference. Also recently, I scored 2 LB5Bs that came with pouches that were far too large! The Trappers fit perfectly in the black leather pouches that the LB5Bs came in! So now they both have lovely black leather pouches that appear to be made for them! I'm awaiting an eBay delivery for a pair of smaller Schrade pouches that should be the same size as Normal LB5 pouches! We'll see! I have never seen any pouches for sale on any Schrade website that wasn't the typical huge lb7 pouch. I never got into trapper knives until I started watching your channel! LOL! It's all your fault! LMAO!

Nope, not a regular or smaller Trapper fan. Do like this though. Just happened to read a fair few bad reviews when I was looking to buy this particular knife. To Heinnies credit they put up the patently insane reviews along with anything else as long as there's no swearing ect. It can occasionally send you in the wrong direction though. Old Timers are something that are fairly easy to get here too. Probably a future purchase.

One thing Old Timer got right, is the leather cases actually fit the knife it came with. I bought a Case Hammerhead and the case it came with is too big. And the Hammerhead is a $75 knife! The 25OT large folding hunter fits the Case leather belt case. 🤦♂️

The saw blade is great but why not put the lock on the blade??? Doesn't it make way more sense? If you're using the saw your putting downward pressure on the saw anyways. No need for a lock. Use the lock for the blade!

I'm guessing you never walked through a field full of cactus while bunny busting and ended up with a big toe full of cactus spikes... Or ever had a dog get a life lesson from a porkypine... The tweezers are usefull! Good old Battenfield. The last remaining "Schrade" company still in existence! When they too finally go belly up, it will be the end of an era...

The sawblade might be useful for scaling fish, but it's useless as a saw.
