Old Timer vs Uncle Henry - Mountain Lion vs Golden Spike

The Old Timer Mountain Lion and the Uncle Henry Golden Spike are two very similar knives. Both are a classic hunting knife design with a leather sheath and clip point blade. But I like one just a little better than the other. See if you can guess which one wins.

I had a Golden Spike YEARS ago that my uncle bought for me around 1979-80. Took care of a lot of rabbits and a few deer until the day I lost. Sat it down to put a rabbit in my hunting jacket, and started walking away. I spent at least a couple hours looking for it as soon as I realized it wasn't in its sheath. I'm 51 now and that memory still crushes me.

Love to get home on Saturday and find a Schrade Saturday video!! Sometimes I think we all get a little carried away with what we ask a knife to do. No insult intended to anyone but they are a cutting tool first and foremost. We're not exploring the frontier, we're not surviving. We're camping, hiking, hunting or fishing and a Schrade or Buck knife will get the job done. IMHO.

Thanks for another fine review. These are both fine knives that should last a while when used properly. Thanks for saying that using a knife as a baton for splitting is not a very useful test. That is one of those things that should only be used when there is no other alternative. Like others, i also enjoy the "balance test" that you do. Keep these videos coming.

@SurvivalOnPurpose 6 жыл бұрын

I didn't say it should only be done when there is no alternative, only that splitting wood by batoning it is not necessarily a valid test of blade or edge strength. I think batoning to make kindling is a perfectly legitimate practice.

I have an old time knife which was issued to me while in the Air Force, and probably still have another of their knives which I purchased years ago. The knife issued to me have a handle with plastic on it, but everything else is metal and it was used to but line which is used to rig parachutes we put on cargo pallets. The knife looks just like it did when it was new except the carbon steel have changed color to a black except where it is sharpened.

Thank you for this review and for almost not batoning with these knives. 😀 For $25.00 these seemed like respectable tools. The plastic handles don't bother me considering the price point plus plastic is with us everywhere and can be quite strong and resistive to wear, but I do wish they would not try to make plastic look like stag. Again, given the price point I thought your review demonstrated these were serviceable knives; however, the one point I cannot forgive is a sheath that doesn't fit the blade -- really?

@SurvivalOnPurpose 6 жыл бұрын

+Richard Edgecomb maybe it was just a problem with that particular sheath or maybe it needs "breaking in". Or maybe it needs redesigned.

It's Delrin (made by DuPont) just like the original U.S.A. made Old Timers used for half a century. All of these videos on the China made Old Timers complain about the "plastic" handles, but that's what's always been used, it's nothing new by any means.

Have to agree on the "full tang vs. rat tang" assessment. I've had more than a few rat tail tang handles break on me, have never had a full tang handle break. I've had chips, rolls, even a crack, develop in full tangs on the blade but never the handle and that has happened on rat tail blades as well. Given my druthers, I'll take the full tang every day. And have to also agree with the "flag on the moon" statement as well, since there aren't any metric system countries flags up there it's kind of hard to disagree with that. Thanks Brian!

Old Timer and Buck were my favorite knives back in the 70s and 80s for gutting and skinning. They both held a great edge, but that was with better steel. I had to get rid of my knives and most of my guns due to a divorce. I got a new woodsman a few years ago. It came shaving sharp but I don’t hunt anymore so I don’t know how good of an edge it holds with 7cr steel.

Two good small knives but the Old Timer with that full tang is my bet. Still like the Schrade as well.

I bought a Golden Spike a while back and was unimpressed with it. Sold it right away. The Mountain Lion looks to be a better knife. I would stick with my Buck 119 over either. I have the 119 with brass and wood handles.

I think we know that he must be completely honest; because even he doesn't know what he's going to say two seconds before the words come out of his mouth. He reminds me of one of my great uncle's. Of course he told the same stories over again; but each time he might get distracted and go a fair piece down along a new rabbit trail. And that can be utterly fascinating. Sometimes, wisdom is about the priceless things that you learn on accident. The rambling is a feature, not a bug in the system. IMO.

Who noticed the time on his watch saying 4:44 . Then click on that time stamp and look at his face and imagine your dad asking “did you steal my car last night boy”.
