Old Timer Bruin 5OT = Sad But True

[@MAC-gx3ji]

I've bought about a dozen Chinese made Old Timers over the past couple years from Amazon Some single blade folders and some stockmans in different sizes I've been impressed with the quality of all of them , especially at the price I haven't bought any lockbacks since I have plenty of USA made Buck 110s and 112s

Love Old Timers! Lets see em all together! Great video!

[@tedhart7708]

Good save on a nice little OT.👍🏻

[@GregWilmoth]

I did enjoy the video, I love ot knives. Keep the videos coming!

[@alexishatjialexiou7509]

Same here! Can't get enough OTs from all of the knife community channels. Lol

[@huntingfishingpraying]

John good video. Not a bad knife but makes me miss the old school OT's. Thanks for sharing. Jim

[@JohnKlahr]

@@huntingfishingpraying my pleasure

[@jaredleland6667]

You should get the generational series! Made in USA

[@JohnKlahr]

You know, I keep looking at those but for the price I keep choosing another brand. And they never seem to go on sale???

[@jaredleland6667]

@ i grabbed the Sharpfinger and it even comes with a little card that you can date when you got the blade so when your kids or whoever gets it someday they can see that and appreciate it. They want it to be like an heirloom. I love mine totally worth it!

[@hondasaki900]

I got the USA made Bruin and it's pretty much perfect.

[@JohnKlahr]

@ that’s good to hear. I wonder who makes it for them?

[@alaskagary240]

Nice video.

[@JohnKlahr]

@@alaskagary240 thank you

[@MAC-gx3ji]

Oh And you sometimes have a choice if you want a small box or that plastic packaging Not always though I prefer the small boxes also

[@madtownangler]

Didn't even know they still made Old Timers..

[@JohnKlahr]

@@madtownangler yes, the even have some American made ones again.

[@madtownangler]

@JohnKlahr Old Timer was the first knife that I bought myself back in the late 1980's.

[@JohnKlahr]

@@madtownangler It was probably between 1979 -1981 I bought me first one, 3 bladed like the 8ot, I started very young

[@ofthedawn]

My bear and son folding hunter had that stuff on the tang.

[@JohnKlahr]

@@ofthedawn they are saying that many are made in China now

[@ofthedawn]

@JohnKlahr i think so to. How can they keep putting usa on the tang? Even case and buck put made with imported parts. Does GEC use all USA parts?

[@franknorthcutt2958]

Do you have any frontier knives for trade that are in decent condition and/or folding hunters of any brands?

[@JohnKlahr]

@@franknorthcutt2958 no, I usually give away knives in my contest or put them in my private collection.

[@calebsmith7907]

What’s the chance of that happening. Idk but good video. They may wind up hiring you in Hollywood 👈 cause they can’t make good movies anymore!

[@JohnKlahr]
