Today was another more or less lazy day. Didn't use a tool on it. While I was carrying a USA Old  Timer 3OT "Bearhead" lockback, my only cutting task, peeling oranges, was done with the 2014 Case Carhartt Wharncliffe Mini Trapper.   And might I add, the 3OT is my only stainless Old Timer. While some early 5OTs and I want to say 7OTs were initially offered in carbon steel, they quickly switched to stainless.  The 3OT was a pretty poor seller, whcih is why they aren't seen often, especially compared to 34OTs or 8OTs for example.

I really need to get more of Schrade's more tactical/modern offerings that were made in the USA. I've only got a Cliphanger CH-3 Silhouette with a whistle attached clipped to the sternum strap of my pack and that's it as far as non-traditional USA Schrades go.

Great uses and/or photos today, guys! :like:

Day 16:

Used the TT a lot today, but the photo is of me clipping the tip on a new glue bottle. I went through a half bottle getting the base glued back up on the sideboard. I put sanded is down and pit on new veneer as well, but the TT wasn't required for that.

No I did not pose the tool like this. With just light use the pliers/handle screws have already loosened up to the point that the one handle flops that far open before there is any tension.

The Taylor TTs don't have loctite in the screws. You'll need to remove the screw and put some loctite in there. :)

The older TTs use strong rivets, but loosen as well. I just smack the rivets with a 2.5lb hammer on the vise. :D

You did the right thing there, from what I've read, those Taylor"Soft"Tools can't handle (pun intended) anything even vaguely like hard or strenuous use.

Day 17

The Tough Tool got to do a little handy work, I've had an interior door that's been hanging up, so with the TT on my hip it was a a good time to take care of it :tu:
First the Phillips driver removed the striker plate, then some tweaking with the pliers and a bit of file action, and the door is working smoothly  :cheers:

Had to go in a few hours early today to wax/polish a table top and plane down/paint/reinstall hardware on some white cabinet doors.
The TT was Paired with a big Remington folder today.

That Remington has an interesting blade shape.

Gregg My MT's have fixed that problem on many a door.  Well Done :cheers:

NOA even my USA TT with the riveted handle does that on one side just not quite as much.  I can only imagine how frustrating that would become ove time.

cody, love those Old Timers. 

A good Day 17 I would say, So :cheers: :cheers: everyone.



And last but not least,  Thanks for hanging out Speedy.

:like:  While I normally don't like larger folders (the exception being Folding Hunters); I've always had a thing for big folding rescue knives.  I mostly use this German-made Skedco Warfighter Extreme Medicine (Eickhorn PRT-IV); which opens really quick and a joy to use with gloves on. I just wish the regular PRTs were cheaper--these for a long time were $30 through many people dealing in military surplus (they were issued to combat medics in a rigging kit for MEDEVAC helicopters); while the standard PRT is $120. It also has a seatbelt cutter (cutting twine and opening clam pack, I've just about wore out the section of snap-off blade that forms the tool; and I don't know what type Eickhorn used; guessing OLFA) and a carbide glass breaker.


Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum of folder size, I chose the rare (as a USA model) USA Old Timer 106OT "Granddad's Old Timer" to supplement the TT; since the USA model never had scissors. Due to its rarity, I've used it as a shelf queen, not ever carried or used it. That had to change. So I cleaned it, sharpened it, and lubed it and started carrying it tonight.

Today's only use didn't come until just now, after taking today's photo. I used the scribe to peel an orange--it worked great!

Indeed. I've tried 20 different finishing waxes and none come close to how tough the Johnson finish is. :cheers:

I just whack the rivet with a heavy hammer on the vise, starting softly and hitting a bit harder until the pivot feels good. Just don't miss the rivet. :ahhh

Love that Old Timer with scissors. :drool:

Indeed the rescue knives are well rounded in use. The Skedco looks quite nice!

I have two versions of the Italian made Remington Rescue folders. The one I carried today with just the blade and a pocket clip is much lighter than the other one. The other one has the same blade, but adds another layer; being a spring loaded and locking strap cutter. That version has no pocket clip or mount, so it is sheath only. Both have the glass breakers. :)
