I purchased a well used one at an antique store . It looks like it has cleaned a lot of critters in its life .I've been using it for squirrels . Nice little knife .
Good stuff.
I'm hoping to give my 152 to my grand nephew soon. He's a great hunter and is pursuing wildlife management.
That’s encouraging to hear
Thank you for this down to earth video some simple things are priceless thank you!
I have the one ive had it in a box for years, has the original sheath, seems mint and the knife looks barely used if at all. it was with a bunch of knives my grandpa had and i finally took it out bc it seemed like a solid knife and started researching it. Seems like a solid find
I would love to meet your grandfather he sounds amazing
Thanks he was a great man. I learned a lot from him.
Still rocking one. Love cleaning deer with it!!!
The old school ones rock for sure.
Just found this laying in dirt down in flood lands in my town! I believe it’s the original but no real confirmation, but to think I found a classic laying in the mud.. it’ll be mine forever
Great find.
My father bought my Shrade 159 at the Little Smoky General Store in Alberta Canada back in about 1980. When he quit hunting, I ended up with it. It’s a VERY good knife and it dressed more animals than I can count. Thanks for your story.
Thanks for watching.
Lol. Found mine in an old house I was remodeling. Cleaned and sharpened it. Carry it everyday.
Just got one
Got that exact one nothing beats the original my grandpa gave me his love that knife.
Dylan Cobb Thanks for sharing.
As an old timer myself, my 152, 154, and 158 USA made old timers still are good enough for me. Every year when I am preparing my hunting pack and am checking the sharpness of my knives, I always get the sense that I am saying hello to old friends.
We are! Thanks for sharing my friend. Take care.
I sharpened one of those today. Just finished it. Has the strap just like yours. It belongs to my frirnd who allows me to hunt his land. When he dropped it off yesterday he said he couldn't count the number of deer he has gutted and skinned with it. His stealth is in way worse shape thsn yours tho. I hit it with bear grease to waterproof and moisturize it.
Nice video Brother.
Thanks for sharing. Great story.
One of the best gifts my father ever gave me was his knowledge and love for cutlery and his skills for blade smithing, and it all started with an old timer 340t that he gave me ,its one of the most treasured things i own, i don't carry it anymore for fear of losing it but its never far off if i want to use it.
My father gave me one too!
👍🏻👊🏻
My grandpa gave me his Schrade Old Timer Lumber Jack 858 when I was about 10, was made in 78'. I love it, it's nice knowing that it will get passed down eventually to my own kids.
Schrade Sharpfinger, I have one too. Mine belonged to my Grandad, he worked at an adjoining plant (VAW aluminum) in that industrial park. He knew an employee, and got "factory 2nds" dirt cheap. I still have a few of those knives. The vacant plant is about 30 mins. north of my home. My Grandad is gone and sadly the Ellenville, NY factory is too. Schrade made some good, tough work knives at fair prices.
I don't have a nice story like yours but i do have a bad ass Shrade 152 that i just baught at a gun show today.... i hope some day their is a good story behind my knife.....
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing and that knife I'd trust more than alot of the newer styles.
I one of the old timer fixed blades that were made before they closed the New York shop in 2004 and I have my dads old uncle henry pocket knife and i just won a sharpfinger from schrade, it is a nice knife, it does not have the wood handle, more like a dark green with black, sort of marble looking handle and the sheath is black and has the snap that comes across the handle. I like the old one and would not mind getting my hands on an original one
Wow very cool my brother
Excellent introduction to this knife. The Sharpfinger and the Canadian Belt Knife have been favorites of mine for decades.
great review i carry one every day! thanks
I've had some great memories with that knife.
Nicely done.
+Jeremy Goldberg 👍🏻👊🏻
Nice knife and story about your Dad. Memories and knives like that make a pretty amazing combo if you ask me. :)
Those old knives make me feel so warm inside. Great memories of life when it was so much simpler. I am always looking for an oldie at flea markets and garage sales. I am pretty picky though, it has to be just the right one. Another great video. Thanks for sharing my friend.
1974 - Cape Cod, 13 years old. Summer. All the Cool Kids suddenly start sporting this Wicked cool little orangeish knives on their belts. Nixon is President. The Vietnam War isn't going all that great. There's this really beautiful hot girl down at the Ice-Cream Shop!
Yeah, sure, there was this horrible expensive "Knife" Store down in "The Mall" That was a new thing back then, Malls...
But that guy didn't sell to Kids...
Gas Stations didn't have any gas - There was a Gas Crisis going on. But they DID have attendants, AND - Most Importantly - They Sold Knives! Especially to Kids! And They ALL had these Wicked Cool Sharp Fingers! So, One Saturday, I Mowed 5 Lawns and made $25!!! That was 5 X $5 bills! Closest Gas Station was less than a mile away! Right next to the Ice Cream store where Nina Worked! The Summer Girl! Unfortunately, Mowing those lawns that Saturday, meant the Gas Station was closed. So Bright and early Sunday Morning, I hopped on my bike, and literally pedaled all over town looking for an open Gas station that had one in stock! I finally found one - But it used up almost every penny I had! I don't remember exactly now -That was in 1974...
But I DO remember that I still had the $1.10 for the Chocolate Sunday! When Nina set the sunday in front of me that sunday morning, I showed her my New Sharpfinger! I had Arrived! I was now One of the COOL-KIDS!
She wasn't impressed. Suddenly, I completely lost any Interest in Nina, and that was the last time I ever went there...
But I still have that SharpFinger! Nina is likely a Fat old alcoholic now, sagging to her belly. At least that's the image of her I see now. And after 45 years - That Sharp Finger has quite literally been around the planet with me, Australia, Japan, Europe, Africa, Canada, Mexico, even a few Stops in various South American places.
I've used it to Dress out 1 deer, 2 elk, and even an old milk cow. You, I've found others, time and technology have moved on.
It's seen the world with me. Over the years, I've managed to find 5 more, one with a Black Nylon Sheath, and I just Got 2 of the new extra Large ones - made for us 6'2" MeatPaw owners! That old Black one - now lives in a Leather Range Bag with about 100 other Fixed Blade Knives that I've managed to collect over the the last half Century I've been buying them...
But It Knows. ( I know, It's JUST a Knife)
It was my First! Nina could have been too, But she wasn't into knives!
My Current wife IS! She's got a bunch too -
We both grew up in the same era. Great story.
@@Wingman115 Thanks! Moments ago, I just found a listing for 152 OTBC Camo Green Delrin Handle, and Black Leather Sheath. Whoohoo! I bought 2 Instantly! One for me, One for the Woman. Oh who am I kidding, BOTH are going into my Fixed Blade Bag! Shhh... Unless she sees them...
I just got an old 140t oldtimer from a gun show here in town and go it for about 30 $ but instantly the handle just felt amazing in my hand and I guess you can say I was connected to it at that moment and it just feels like an amazing knife
Thanks for sharing.
Wow brother this is a great video.I like this history stuff you know,from the old boys.Great story,and thanks for sharing.
Finaly a good knife and a good honest and pure review!
Thanks !!
Thanks for watching.
My father gave me one very similar but with a drop point I don't remember the model number
this is awesome :) my gramps who passed away in 07, passed me 2 models of the old timer! i have gutted many fish with this too.
I'd like to see more of this series. I have an old Camillus fixed blade that belonged to my Grandfather and has been passed down each generation. Its been through hell and back but still holds an edge well. I look forward to passing it on to my son when he grows up.
Great story Sir...
Thank you.
I remember this knife from the 1970s back then they were made of carbon steel I have a recent one but it doesn't compare
I have the exact same knife that was given to me by my father. Love it.
+Johnny Webster Thanks for watching.
Still have my Sharpfinger that my Wife bought me for Christmas in the late '80s. The sheath for mine snaps around the handle, not over the blade like yours. This is one seriously great knife. You are totally correct about how this knife feels in the hand. Great balance and fit.
AnthemBassMan That's my Hall Of Fame knife I keep close to remember dad with...
Your dad sounds lime an American mans man! God bless our fathers!
Thanks for your awesome review, I too as well did a table top on this. They sure don't make them like they used to.
Hey you have the Bryan survival on purpose dogs next door to you LOL
Yes I do. Lol
ill post a response of my 2 i have the deer slinger i think you said? and the little one you had.
Just found your video. Just today, I dug this knife out. I've not seen it in over 30 years. It was in my long stored boy scout pack. I think I earned a bunch of coupons from selling greeting cards??? I remember trading some kind of coupons for the knife. It might have been a bunch of Benson and Hedges coupons I was given as a kid. Mine is exactly like yours except I never sharpened it or used it. I am so happy to have found it. It is the first knife I purchased myself. I think I was around 10 to 12 years old? Should put it about 1974 to 76 range.
I love to hear great stories like that. Thanks for sharing.
yep! I was in the cub scouts and boyscout back in the 70's and 80's, I use to go door to door selling stationary and you get the prizes from the back of the old comic books, but the only knife I had as a kid was the old boy scout type swiss army knife lol
Allen White I think I may still have my knife with fold out spoon and fork.
cool, that is a keeper
Yeah, My buddy Joe and I sold Christmas cards during the summer break from our Phoenix grade school in the late '50's, We got a 'Pup' tent with mosquito netting for our prize. We all 'ran free' during the summers in those days. Wore that tent out.....
I bought my LB7 at the factory store in Ellenville, NY in 1985. I also bought a rigger's knife with a marlinspike to use on my sailboat. I still have the LB7 but the rigger's knife went overboard.
my first knife was given to me by my father. it was a buck....i have no idea the model. it was a single blade,lockback with wood handles. i lost it when i was about 17 or so. wouldnt hold an edge worth a damn and the lock was broken. basically it was danger in a pocket sized package. but the real story here is an old timer 8ot. my grandfather bought it for me an old sporting goods store in west virgina. i was about 10 or so. we had moved to florida two years before and came up for a visit that thanksgiving. i was always close to him,and was very appreciative of the knife. so much so,i never used it. i have it now,15 years later. factory edge and patina so deep the blades are black. anyways,when i was 15 my grandparents passed and we were cleaning out their house. i found my grandfather's knife. .....an old timer 8ot. the delrin handles were worn nearly smooth, the blades had been sharpened so many times they barely resembled their original shapes,the blades were slightly loose....it had been WELL used,no doubt on many hunting and fishing trips. the fact he bought me a knife like his and didnt tell me just tickled me pink.
Great story thanks for sharing.
Nice knife. My neighbors worked in the Schrade Knife factory in Walden, NY in the Mid to late 1940s
As a fan of skinning knives I bought the 2015 Limited Edition Old Timer Sharpfinger. It came in a metal tin with a Old Timer Trapper. For a Limited Edition it came with a nylon sheath with Old Timer embroidered on it. Back of package says made in China.
love the John Wayne, or P-38 for the Army guys, on the lanyard...thanks for your service
+soylent green 👍🏻🇺🇸
thanks sounds great!! i have been subbed for about 7 months now too your channel and definitely learn a lot. keep making sweet videos peace!
I have one my dad gave me as a graduation gift and his dad had carried and then given to him. I believe it says it was made in 1934
A bit of Breakfree and apatch of Scotchbright lightly used will bring that blade back to a new shine.
Just bought one today on my way out for a shoot with my young lads. My oldest who is 6 was asking to hold the knife every time we stopped for a break. I guess that's where it all starts eh. good vid
+Jason Doling Jason that is how it starts... Take care my friend and enjoy the young ones and the time you have with them.
Your daddy taught you well...
Thanks for sharing this, that knife would be a great one to pass on.
There is just something about old designs like this, that make you want to pick them up and use them.
me too I've had mine for 20 years!
My old man had a deer slayer 150t he says it was made in about 1975
That is really cool man nice vid brother.
Wingman ur story is close to mine it to was my first fixed blade for passing my hunter safety course i was 7 i took it at our hunting club fr Oo m sime frog marshalls(lol)not trying to offend anyone i did pass if i remember it wasnt as hard as they are today but i got the sharpfinger for passing i had cleaned alot of small game with it and hog deer etc but when i was eight i went into the hospital with double pneumonia was in a comma for several months but that knife was with me the whole time since then though it has passed from my son to my daughter she's 13 but the sheath is about shot maybe ill get it and get yellowhawk to make a kydex for it im trting to send him a few to get done at once just cant part with all my knives at once.....lol....hey wonderful story love the vids keepem coming be safe and God bless
poorboymudding Thanks for posting your story!
I remember those, I think that was the one called the "Sharpfinger". I was not a fixed blade guy, but Schrade made good ones.
+Jim Morrison 👍🏻👊🏻
These Schrade sharp finger knives are hard to beat! I'd rather use the one I have for skinning game more than any other fixed blade knife I own.
It's a great knife that always brings back great memories of hanging with my dad. Thanks for watching.
FYI The newer Taylor Ind Old Timer 152 ( China ) Made,? Are selling on E Bay,? For Apx $17.00- $25.00.? The Original USA Made ones,?Are selling for Apx Anywhere, from $50.00,? Up to Whatever Prices,? Some of the sellers are asking for them etc.?
You should see the patina on mine. 👍
My Dad had a little old timer he got from his father that he was going to give me when I was a little older. He lost it! So it never happened :( That's my story.
+ssjwes Thanks for sharing.

Sweet knife! I have the same one, with almost the same story (just later than yours). My dad had this knife for years and gave it to me when I was 13 or so. That was 14 years ago. Unfortunantly I havnt got to use mine as much as I would have liked due to the fact I keep misplacing mine. I just found it buried in my closet, cleaned up some rust and run it across my stone, its ready to rock and roll. This is the sharpest knife I own! That is some great steel!
Quick question, mabey you can help me out. I need to remove the handle, its starting to seperate from the steel from rust. Do these pins pop in and out? I just want to remove the rust from the tang. Is tang the right word? Or mabey if anyone else out there has expirence with this. Anyway, this is a great knife, if you don't have one, find one!
Matthew Tikka They are pressed in. You would have to drill them out.
Excellent review!!! Mine is apparently a later model with the belt around the handle but appears to be worn a bit more than yours! A really great knife! Thanks for sharing! !
+James Campbell Your welcome James.
great review i carry one every day! thanks
