Old Timer 12OT Pal Imperial

It an "Old Timer". What else needs to be said? This great old company has been making knives for over 65 years. Properly hardened, high carbon steel blade nestled in a solid brass lined frame with nickle plated bolsters and saw cut Delrin handles that look and feel exactly like bone but won't break after years of use. At a total length of 2-3/4" when closed this is the perfect little knife to sit without notice in the bottom of your pocket, ready any time you need it. When opening it, the spring has perfect strength and tension. Mechanically everything feels tuned right, tight and high quality. Mine came razor sharp and ready to go. This is a very nice little vintage-looking pocket knife. Since buying it I can't tell you how many times I've been able to just reach in my pocket and put it to use. And so many times family members or friends who know I have it have come to me to use it or have me use it to help them. So handy! Buy one and experience what every kid and grown-up did in the old days! Handy, well-built, handsome pocket knife that with proper care should last you long enough to pass it on to someone else someday.

Small knife. A true pocket knife. Old school. My dad loved his I gave him on father’s day. It had a pretty decent factory edge on it and has a very pointy tip. I’ll be getting me one just cause it reminds me of back in the day. Who doesn’t want one more knife?

The knife is Ok, but it is very smaller than I had expected. I bought it to have in my pocket to use as a cutting tool for opening packages and doing other cutting things. It is very small, but the knife blade does do the job of cutting open packages from Amazon. For the price of $13, I guess it is OK. My former knife, which I lost, and which is why I needed another one, was at least 3 or 4 inches long, small and compact enough to wear in my pants pocket, and it had two blades. I figured I didn't really need two blades, so I bought this knife. It is OK, but I will probably be looking for a better one that meets the same standards of my former pocket knife.

It is not as pictured, it has a different logo plate and is thicker than the original in the picture. The quality is fine, but will it last 50 years like my original? I bought them for my grandsons so I hope they last. The knife is almost the same.

I picked this up for $5+ here on sale, wait for that price of you can, it's a great value. Use Camelcamelcamel.com to track the price. Very happy at that price, it's old-school decent craftsmanship even if not made in the USA anymore. It's smallish and not very robust, but that's what's nice. You can just slip in your pocket, literally forget it, and use it for light duty things on the go. Pack a bigger blade if you think it will be necessary.

Carry ability

The product is an excellent EDC knife. Sharp right out of the box and well made as all of the Old Timer products. The supplier is excellent as well with great packaging and rapid shipment. What a great combo that almost never happens anymore. Highly recommended !!

My husband keeps a knife in his pocket all the time, but loses them often. This is small to carry and inexpensive to replace. Washes well too. I have to often fish it out of the machine.
