Does any one know where i can get a new oldtimer pocket knife with carbon steel blades online other than ebay?
I want to know where i can get a brand new oldtimer junior stockman 108ot pocket knife with carbon steel blades. I have had old timers all of my life and cannot find them anywhere. Please tell if you know or if you have one.
I am sad to say Schrade Cutlery the maker of Old Timer Brand Knives, went out of business a few years ago and the brand names were sold off. The new knives(made overseas) have Stainless steel blade for the most part. There are thousands of Old Timer knives out there and you will just have to look around at yard sales and E-bay and the like to find what you are looking for. Another possible source would be small old time hardware stores that may have some old stock left over from years before. Smokey Mountain Knife works may also be a source for some of the old carbon steel blades as they purchased a large quantity of the old stock when the company was auctioned off. In the last few years a lot of the blades were made from stainless steel because that is what the market demanded. People did not and do not want to take the time and effort to maintain and care for a carbon steel blade. I am one of those people who still loves a good carbon steel blade for the superior edge holding and ease of sharpening it offers as well as just having a great appreciation of history and tools. I hope this answer helps you find what you are looking for and here are a few tips to help you identify a carbon steel blade. On a used knife the blade will generaly have a dark tint almost black because carbon steel reacts to acids and other elements by forming a dark patina. you may also see some surface rust. The rust is easy to remove if it is not too bad with a little light oil and some steel or bronze wool. I would choose the bronze wool as it will not leave behind microscopic fibers or residue that will also rust over time. You can find it at boating centers or even Home Depot. Any good light oil works, 3 in 1, WD-40 will work, liquid wrench even light motor oil will work well. Be careful and work slow and steady. After a good cleaning sharpen her up and enjoy a great knife for years to come. If you see a knife and it is new and shiny you can plunge it into a potato and if the blade turns black you have carbon steel, you can also try a magnet most carbon steels will be attracted to the magnet and most Stainless will not because they do not have enough iron it them. There are exceptions to both rules but it is an easy way to tell the difference, and most people do not carry a potato around with them LOL. Best Of Luck I hope you find what you are looking for.
