All About Pocket Knives

I have been looking for this Old Timer belt buckle for a LONG time. (AND I tried UNSUCCESSFULLY to buy one 2 previous times!!)
WELL.... it looks like I FINALLY got me one.
TWICE before , I bought an Old Timer buckle on flea bay and BOTH TIMES, the sellers somehow slipped me a "sorry, I can't find it" kind of a message.(What the heck?)

ANYWAY.... here it is..... the Schrade Old Timer belt buckle.
(Now, I hope this one doesn't get "lost in the mail"....LOL)


I have no idea how many of these were actually made......They hardly ever show up for sale.
Maybe some of you Schrade history buffs can tell me how many were produced.

Thanks for looking everyone!

Will you wear it or will it just go up on a shelf for display?

Very nice, Mike; good score!

I am going to create a display case of some sort for this prize. I will probably put some knives with it.

Thanks Cal..!!!!

Would that knife be a 61OT or the stainless version? Guess that part doesn't matter.

Maybe a display with the buckle on a belt and your Old Timers that came with a belt sheath lined up on the belt. Just an idea.

Very nice. Hope you enjoy it!

Congratulations! Always good to score something you’ve search for a long time.

I think you are right Cal.... I think it is a 61OT!
Good eye!

Good idea! I am going to think of some special way to show off that buckle.

Yes! Thanks Ken.
Yep, it was a long search and even a couple of disappointments along the way!

So Cool! Congrats on the find!

That's cool, kind of like those Keep On Truckin' belt buckles from the 70's!

LOL.... yep, I remember when "keep on truckin' " was a catch phrase!

Congrats, Mike! And I've had the eBayer trickery pulled on me too, unscrupulous sellers.
