- Buy the Old Timer PHW and support this channel: Survivalonpurpose.com/Old-Tim...
The Old Timer PHW Pro Hunter fixed blade knife is one of the best knives for under $30 I have seen in a while. The ironwood handle scales are beautiful and comfortable. The knife carves feather sticks like butter and it is very well balanced. It also comes with a nice leather sheath. All for under $30 at the time I shot this video.

Just purchased mine through the channels link, Bryan! Hope it helps the channel. Thank you so much for all of your insight. We are teaching our 5 year old son blade safety and all the bushcraft we are learning, so I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Keep up the awesome videos! Thanks again.
I really appreciate your insight and knowledge for most of your reviews Bryan. Great job keep it up.
+James Roccos Thanks.
I had this knife for a while and I loved it. I ended up giving it to my sister for passing her hunters safety course. Now she has a great knife for hunting.
+Mason Zimmerman yes she does
Thanks for the link! I will check out this kniffe for sure.
+yveskc1 It's a good one
I bought one shortly after you aired this. I am sorry to say I went straight to Amazon for it, an knowing what I know now would of used your link, as I love mine I edc it as its a perfect carry knife fir me, It about a 1/4" longer than the BRK&T highlander special. At five times the savings, an thats knothing against either. The only thing I changed on mine was to fold the belt loop over backwards an glue an vice for a couple of days raising the knife close to two inches when on my belt. Some like danglers I too when camping, but around town I like my outer shirt to fully cover knife an pistol. Thanks Bryan for another great video.
Brian,
I purchased one of these knives after watching your review. I love it! It has become my daily carry fixed blade. It sits low on my belt and doesn’t dig into my side. Very comfortable to hold. Thanks for the review!
Great review and a beautiful knife! Will be picking it up off amazon
+Wings Day It is a deal
Don’t ya love it when a well known, reputable company comes out with quality, desirable, and affordable knife. I do. It’s nice when you can actually afford something nice.
Yep
BIG thumbs up!!!! I really LOVE this knife. Old school cool! And Iron Wood is native to southern Arizona where I live and it's harder and even more dense that Mesquite Wood, and that's saying something!! I have two custom made leather sheaths and indeed over time they will loosen up some. However the fix is simple. Take the empty sheath, soak in water for a few minutes and place it out in direct sun light for a few hours. It will shrink up and when when you re-insert the knife, the sheath will once again be very tight fitting. Thanks Bryan.
+Charles Larson That is true. Especially with vegetable tanned leather like these sheaths are made of.
Great review!
+T Stapleton Thanks.
Great review Brian 👍🐾🐾
+Drew Lucero Thanks
Just bought one after this video for $22.95. Even cheaper than Amazon! Thanks for the vid.

+Daniel Rosado Thanks
Love the look ! Sweet handle! ! Thanks for sharing! ! Bob
+BBGS Bob Shields Thanks for watching Bob.
The Ontario Rat 1 is a great choice as well, for the folding knife category.
I saw the first video with the stag handle and thought "it's ok" after watching this video I found another knife to add to my collection. Thank you. God bless and stay safe.
+Rich Schwartz You too Rich. happy Easter.
Just purchased it looks great
Hope you enjoy it!

Nice lookin blade design. I like that the bolster isn't really obnoxious.
+RealBushMonkey It is pretty.
Cool old timer knife vid! Nice looking knife!
I agree. And it is very useful
looks good!
+robert mullins It is good
man you got to love your old timers that knife has a high dollar look but with a very modest price really like the shape and the thickness im at an aw thanks for share that with us all the best to you and yours Brian and have a great Easter Dan in ohio
+Daniel M Happy Easter
Great video. I saw this knife some time ago on on Taylor Brands website and thought this is too good to be true. I was sooo wrong. This might be the best deal on a knife I've ever came across. Thanks for the review.
+Welsh Dragon It is a great deal
Great Vid. I have a similar model, forgot the model. I have the wood handle version and the buffalo horn handle. I really like it. It works, it is strong and holds up to hard work.
+mikedifeo Yes it does
Nice knife and review again Bryan. :):) jumpin jimpiny no jimbing:):) I like that:) Man Daniel Boone would not like you taking the lanyard off at all:) he he
+40belowful But I bet he would really like the Clipper lighter in my pocket ;-)
Greetings from Brasil. Good demonstration, sincere point of view.
Thank you
I have a cousin who is just getting into knives and this knife will be a good first fixed blade.His birthday is coming up so i will be buying it.
+John Harmon He'll be happy.
Such a great looking knife. And, the price is pretty awesome too.
+Paul Schuette it really is
I have one of those and it looks and feel great in my hand. The sheath is nice also and too is very high quality material and I don't even want to use it as pretty as it is.
For someone who has had tons of knives in his hands it means alot when he says "this one belongs on a special list"
I like that comment "Feathersticks curls like Shirley Temple hair". My kids love watching her movies, 99% of kids their age would have no clue who you were talking about.. Awesome review Brian I sure wish you would have told us the price though;)
+Airik1111 I'll try to remember to do that next time.
Beautiful knife, Bryan. Greetings from Pittsburgh. Laura
+Lellobeetle Thanks Laura
I bought one of these at Tractor Supply a year or so ago and it is one of my favorite knives. It feels good in the hand and is great for small tasks around the camp. The steel isn't great but it is more than adequate for the size of the knife and what it should it be used for. I have yet to roll an edge or chip it. I paid less than $20 (on sale) for it and it is worth every penny and then some.
+pl0wer it is always good to hear someone who has been using a knife for a while validate my opinion. Thanks
I bought this knife after viewing the video. I was very impressed by the appearance of the wood handle in the video. When I received the knife I was additionally impressed with the finishing quality. Overall if the blade was about and inch longer I wouldn't hate it but I love the knife. BTW..the sheath is really nice and well made and smells like a brand new pair of leather shoes
Isn't it very nice? Especially for the price.
HaHaHa, You Scared that Skunk when you talked about Skinning an animal!
Great Review, That's a Really Sweet Knife for $28!!
Thanks Much, Happy Easter!
+James White Happy Easter
Seems like a nice budget yet quality knife!
+Rangersly Yep
Wow! Schrade has really been putting out some great knives over the last couple of years. Great value and a workhorse. I was worried about the calibration test though. I'm gonna go broke if you keep showing us stuff like this!
+Scott Hill I has n doubts about the balance test. This thing is solid
Hi Bryan, that's a very nice Knife and great design, i like this kind, hope you're fine and i wish you and your's happy easter, take care, Taro
+Taromovies Swiss Bushcraft & Survival Happy Easter to you and all your wonderful ladies as well Taro.
Did you get very many people saying who is Shirley Temple. I will be 52 this year and grew up watching her movies even though she was before my time. What a great knife. As soon as I get the money I will be getting one of them.
+Brett Steele I really didn't like her movies that much. I've always been more of a John Wayne fan.
John Wayne is and will always be my favorite actor. I just grew up watching her movies as a kid. John Wayne also. My favorite's are the Green Berets and Hell Fighters. I also like his westerns like Rio Bravo, Sons of Katie Elder. McKlintock and so on. He is the best ever.
I have a PH1 which is the same knife with black scales and sheath. Didn't know anything about it when I bought it. I could tell it was a solid knife that would be around for a long time if it was taken care of. Found it for sale at a local knife store for $15. Ended up buying four of them. gave one to each of my kids for camping knives.
Schrade should do the same design sheath for there 56 and 56l.
Nice review nice knife.
+Paul Smith Yeah, that would be cool.
When I worked for Moteng, I was taught by them, that it was pronounced "Schra-dee"!
lol I like the Ed Bassmaster reference there sir
+Jon “HUNGWELL” Hawkins ;-)
Well said Brian, I could have not said it any better myself. I love Schrade knives as well. Great prices and availability with lots of choices to choose from. I wish they maid knife out of 5160 or 01 tool steel and a mirror Finish.Maybe soon I hope...Here me now Schrade.
+Scott Browning Probably not their thing. I think there is value in knowing what you do well and sticking to it.
+Survival On Purpose You are right and they do it very well. Thanks my friend....
I like it!
+Capt'n .Woodsrat yeah, me too
I think I heard you mention that it was $28-sounds like a winner to me. BTW, I own several Old Timer, Uncle Henry and Schrade knives, all have served me well. The best multi-tool I own is a Scrade as well.
+Bill K. think I did mention that.
"Oh would you look at that!? Would you looook at that!? Would you just look at it!? Just look at it!" Haha! Great video Bryan, as always. -Corey @ PREPARED 2 THRIVE
+Prepared 2 Thrive It is a little scary how many folks got that ;-)
one of the reasons to put a short "lanyard" on a knife like that is the deep carry leather sheath... it makes it easier to pull out. as always, YMMV but I put short lanyards on all my smaller knives that I make leather sheaths for.
+Roy Fernbach That is true, I just don't really like them.
Nice little knife. Thanx for the view. Is this one the "new production"?
.
+Dmitriy Mashchenko I guess
very nice
+phyllis mulkey yep
Hay, Bryan; Nuther Home Run IMO Can't beat the price 4 all that Goodness ! Hoping You & Yours have a Happy Easter ATB Terry God Bless
+T.W. Milburn (skillet210) Happy Easter to you and your family too Terry. He is risen!
Freaking Beautiful Knife!
+Andrew Kincade I think so too.
thanks you should try to test the buck 190 if you can that would be so cool
+Dale Thompson If I get a chance.
wait, what? 28$ for a awesome knife like this? This is just amazing!!! Nice!
+Sönke Müller I agree.
You too! Still enjoy your channel just disagree on them brands! Enjoy and many blessings
+john butler Thanks!
You sold me and picked one up nice knife
I like it
I have a special edition North American hunting club schrade PH1 with birdseye maple burle wood. I am torn with using it or not... I am leaning towards use though since I don't have the rest of the collection.
Brian, Thanks man ! Love the old classic look of a hunting belt knife. Great find....PAPA DUKES
+john rossi It is a keeper for sure
I bought one of these and there really great and it's American made
+Four wheeler Fever Schrade stopped making knives in America a LONG time ago pal!!!
+Four wheeler Fever Made in China.
I heard you can get this on Amazon for 28 bucks. Very nice knife, thanks for the review
+lowwkey91 That's what I heard.
Yeah, this is the one that I would team up with that 10" Bowie. Ah Brian Cooper The Guitarist.
;-)
That's a great deal, no doubt. Some may balk when they hear "7Cr13", but all it means is .7% carbon and 13% chromium (.5% + means high carbon, and 13% + means stainless). This isn't the greatest knife steel, but it will get the job done, and will hold it's edge long enough for 99% of us. I think that if you try it, you will be satisfied with the performance. The sheath itself is worth at least $20. Have a sheath made and see how much it costs you. Oh, I almost forgot: Brian, there is some roadkill in front of my house. I could mail it to you if you want to skin it. It's a raccoon, so you could make yourself a cap! Just let me know. LOL
Nice lookin blade
+ShootingandStuffwithTrees yes it is
Yep
I have not been kind to Taylor brands stew in the past, but I think that is because guys tend to hand me knives at the point I ought to charge them at least double for sharpening. A guy handed me one today that I could a revived with just the ceramic and the strop, but I knew new gave it to me for a polished bevel. So he got the whole magilla didn't take long either.
Steel I don't think they make stew.
+Jake Riethmeier I thought you were making supper for a minute.
+Survival On Purpose hey if I was, I'd invite ya over!
Looks very similar to my 40 year old Schrade Oldtimer 130T, if so that is a great price, I probably paid that years ago
Except yours was probably made in the USA
HEY MIKEY!!! He likes it!!!
+Grandpa Bill I wonder how many people get that ;-)
That's a heck of a deal for $28.
+Jerome Kukurugya Yes it is.
Hey Bryan nice review, I have been thinking about getting a small fixed blade for finer work. Which knife would you recommend: this Old Timer PHW or the Condor Bushlore? Just for curiosity.
+True Blade I am honestly not a huge fan of the Bushlore. I like other Condor knives a lot more. But this one would not be a bad choice.
i have that knife it's awesome
+Dale Thompson It is a nice knife
If i have a large sharpfinger do i need this also . And i have the smaller made in usa sharpfinger also .
Guitar player u say ? Its almost an addiction sometimes. Iv got a house full of guitars , amps n all the rest . Lol . But man is it fun . Have a gd xmas . Its 12/25/23 5:am hohoho .
I am more of an acoustic guy but I wouldn’t mind having a nice hollow body Gretsch.
I have mine now and does not disappoint. I do however wish the blade was 4 inches long. Blade shaved hair off the arm right out of the box. I do feel that the sheath will loosen up and the knife will fall out. I will probably modify the sheath and put a snap on it at some point. Are there other sheath options for this? Thanks for the tip and this is probably going to be the knife I carry to the woods most of the time.
+Ben Schildgen I don't o ow of any other options except a custom sheath. Which would certainly cost more than the knife did.
Would be good to see a run of wood and scandi trad knives from schrade.
+Jonathan Clark That would be cool
With a bit of schrade creativity of course.. :)
Dang it Bryan! If my wife had any idea how much money I was spending as a result of your knife reviews, we'd BOTH be in trouble... ha ha
+Chipper66 Shhh! Don';t tell her.
btw the steel is like 440a to would loved so see 440c instead then it would be perfect for that price :-)
+Modernbushcraft I think the steel is fine, especially at that price.
+Survival On Purpose jupp im just picky :-) would rather have simpler scales and better steel than vice versa
Wow what a deal ! It looks like a well made knife , desert iron wood scales nickel bolsters nice form fitted sheath for less than $30 ! Awesome deal , do you own this knife ?
+Brandon A. This very one
Survival On Purpose thanks for the vid & reply 👍🏻 . im a knife collector as well as an avid outdoorsman who likes well made knives especially the ones that are affordable this Schrade seems to be one of them . I ordered 2 of them after watching your review ,looking forward to getting in hand ! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Do you know if the scales are epoxied or not? wood draws moister, high carbon stainless. just curious.
+donavanblue9247 I do not know
if I could give a suggestion about this knife, I would dump the crappy 7cr17mov and use 8cr13mov or even better 9cr18mov
+Emory Bragg I bet it will do just fine
I would pay $50 for this knife if it was made of 9cr18mov
yep purty
+Bluelew777 yes it is
Cause all of mine say made in America but there older like 1960's through 1990's my dad bought them when he was young
+Four wheeler Fever they are no longer made in the USA.
I have a similar knife
+Matthew Hughes Cool
Ok, it's a very good, functional, solid, useful, and cool looking knife... But how much it does cost?
+Crusader44 check the link ;-)
I wish Taylor brands would have a premium usa made Schrade line.
not that I dislike their current products though :)
Are you going to review the little brother of this one too?
I just might
Looks like another home run from Schrade. Still like to romanticize about $200-$300 dollar knives but, a good performing quality knife under $50 bucks is hard to pass up.
+bushcraft2012 I think it is a grand slam.
Too bad that Amazon.ca (Canada for those who are wondering) does not have the PHW in any form, only Old Timers it has is the Deerslayer fixed blade, the Sharpfinger fixed, and the Cave Bear 5 inch lockback. They are all nice, but how is this Canadian going to get that really nice PHW? That's rhetorical, I don't expect you to find it for me. I am just lamenting how much harder it is to get good knives in Canada.
+CanadianCuttingEdge that is sad
It is a nice functional knife and attractive as you say.
For $21 you can get a cold steel Bushman which in my view has greater utility. Attractive? Wood scales? urm. Did I mention that in my view it has greater utility? 8^)
+Dwight E Howell You did mention that. But it ain't very pretty.
Taylor brands makes okay stuff
+Mason Thornburgh I think so
When are you going to set up another target for your balance test??
+59BigWalt One day
what budget outdoor folding knife do you recommend
+Frank Heinrich There are so many great modes to choose from so many brands. "Budget" is so relative but here are a few I like (these are links to the videos I did on each knife. Hopefully that helps):
Schrade SCH109: th-cam.com/video/dWBZyCLNmms/w-d-xo.html
Gerber Gator: th-cam.com/video/8TPLdNCfJO0/w-d-xo.html

These are just some knives I'm familiar with and like. There are lots of other great choices. You can check out my Folding Knives playlist to see all the folders I have reviewed so far.
Well Bryan my wife ain't gonna let me play anymore if you make me buy another knife. But anyway I wanted to know if that's you playin the elec gutar during the splitting segment? See ya!
+Brooks Ashbrook ope, that's just an iMovie sound track. I always try to put a copyright notice on screen if it's me. And only play original music so TH-cam doesn't get all bent out of shape over copyright violations.
Bryan its 26.00 now :)
Would you just look at that......lol......yeah I caught it........it's from those 2 guys looking at the car....it's think it's 80s.......nice
