Seems like maybe the Spoon Carvin Jack ($94) might be the way to go as of 8/30/23? I’m msn enough to recognize I’ll never hone the Old Timer to where it needs to be
sorry my friend in wood , it is not a 24zero T !!! it is a number 24 OT WHICH is the 24 OLD TIMER !!! al of the old timers are numbered & lettered the same !!! the STAINLESS MODEL Uncle Henry's are done the same , a model number , followed by a UH FOR Uncle Henry !!!
Well thank you for the kind comment, I can't believe I missed that. It seems so obvious now that you say it. If they would put a space in there, it would be way more obvious, 24OT vs 24 OT. Anyway, I will do what I can to correct it.
the bending of the blades to get them to nest properly is known as crinking & it is done right before assembly . SCHRADE did this a lot at the Ellenville factory right up until they closed & everything has been made in CHINA since , so this one was probably crinked in China ( the blade you broke ) .
Being a 50+ years whittler / woodcarver , I would never buy tools like this unless I knew I had a steady use for at least 4 of the tools !!! I would not buy a set of 6 palm chisels & gouges if I only had the real need for one or two of the profiles , & what , let the other 4 tools sit collecting dust on the off hand that I might need it some day down the road !!! Toy buyers do that , & lord knows there are enough of them shallow thinkers in our consumer society !!!
I agree with your statement, for the most part. As far as the majority of my tools go, I am very selective and careful about what tools I purchase. That said, I have an affinity for knives, and for some reason folding knives, some of them carving knives. Generally speaking a fixed blade knife is best for carving, but I do a lot of carving out and about with my boys where it isn't always practical to carry a fixed blade. Over the years I have amassed a collection of quite a few carving knives, and I thought it might be useful for others to hear my thoughts on them. Thus the several knife reviews and comparisons on this channel. The Flexcut Whittlin' Jack was a gift, and I actually get a lot of use out of it. I will admit to purchasing the Old Timer 24 OT out of interest, not need. Hopefully the impact of my unnecessary collecting is minimal and offset by my otherwise frugal and low impact lifestyle. Anyway, thanks for your comment and for watching.
@@JoshsShop Collection is one thing , frivolous toy buying is another !!! God bless the meaningful collectors , for they are the ones with the clearest view of a history with in that subject !!!
