Old Timer knives such as our traditional folders, fixed blades and the Heritage series are designed to serve your every day need, yet built for generations. Review: Great Hobbyist Tool, Solid Quality, Good Price (Not Comparable with a Bench Tool) - Exactly what I was looking for -- a reasonably priced folding, multi-blade carving set for fun and for small tasks. Blades and construction are excellent, they stand up to Schrade and Old Timer standards, but a folding knife will never have the same function as a high-grade carving tool and this should not be thought of as one. Pro: 1) The price is terrific. Kind of surprising. 2) The blades are all solid, carbon- or tool-grade steel, and come very sharp! Note the polished bevel on each blade. Not like other factory sharpenings I've seen, this one you'll need to be careful with right out of the box. 3) Straight blade is a solid, workable carver. Good shape and thickness. 4) Other blades also solid, and fun to try out. They are of varying degrees of usefulness, but allow some unusual side angles (probably so it can be folded safely). 5) In terms of design I think this is a better tool than the only other competitor I've seen, at roughly 10 times the cost, but to be fair, I've never held that one. The angle of the blade on the competitor is not comfortable to me (I have the fixed-blade version, which I think works well for chip carving but not forms and shapes). Drawbacks: The handle is wide and the blades do not lock (both are a necessary compromise in the design for what it is). Do NOT think of this as a primary or even a high-grade carving tool. For that, you should have dedicated blades and handles for each purpose, or possibly one of the traditional slimmer pocket knives -- but choosing one of those over the Splinter Carvin' tool is only a matter of preference. Advice for Beginning Carvers, or Gifts for Them: For beginners who want to start whittling, this will work fine (be careful of your fingers -- it is SHARP!) but for smaller hands as in youngsters or such as mine, I'd recommend you start with any other pocket or fixed knife that is comfortable in the hand, or that you just like. But even then, if you don't mind the width, if you like the idea and the looks of this one, then why not? The straight blade is the right shape and thickness and I believe it is high-carbon, or tool-grade steel (check the description). I have been looking for years for a portable little folding knife with gouge or veiner heads, partly just for fun and interest, and at a reasonable price, since I won't be carving masterpieces with it. This is the thing! Review: Comparison to a flexcut - the old timer wins, sorry, its true. 5 out of 5 stars. - This carving tool is not just an excellent value for the money - it's an excellent value, period. I own a Flexcut carvin jack, I paid 125.00 for it and to me it was worth every penny at that price. The old timer isn't just comparable - it's quite arguably much better. The reason I say the old timer is better is because it's larger - easier access to the tools, it doesn't lock - which, in a whittling tool, is not a negative at all since you don't apply pressure in ways that make the locking necessary anyway. This tool being bigger also means the blades sink deeper into it which means its a lot harder to cut yourself - a big plus to me and one of my main criticisms of the flexcut. The steel appears to be identical to the flexcut, although the flexcut is thicker - and it should be considering it costs 5x the money! duh. The thinner size of the tools on the old timer is not a negative though, in my opinion it not only doesn't subtract from the durability but also makes the tool easier to sharpen. I hope those who read my review understand my overall point - this is a great tool, even if it cost 4x the money it would still be a good value. I am a serious whittler and someone who uses these tools a lot, to me, this is an excellent tool in every way. No it doesn't come out of the box razor sharp, but those who hold that against a cutting implement are simply ignorant, if you buy a knife and don't own a stone, you're the dumb one - not the tool. It is in no way a mark of low quality for a tool to come needing to be sharpened. I give this 5 out of 5 stars and plan on buying a couple more, for the price I can own 5 of them and still have spent just about 100.00 - thats fantastic. ## Features - DIMENSIONS: 6 inch (15.3 cm) overall length with a blade length of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and a weight of 3.9 ounces - DURABLE: Blade is made of reliable 65Mn High Carbon Steel with a sawcut handle - DEPENDABLE: Quick and easy access with the convenient size, nail pulls, straight gouge, hook blade, v-scorp, gouge scorp and chisel making it ideal for carving and whittling - BE PREPARED: Have confidence that the blade will not slip with the security of the heat-treated back springs - SECURE: Pocket knife features nickel silver pins and bolsters - GUARANTEED: This product is covered by Old Timer’s Lifetime Warranty.

I will agree with most of the posts above (although less harshly and assholish than some) that locks should not be necessary, unless you are trying to turn beginners (like grandkids) into carvers. They are most curious when camping and I do not have my good knives along. In cases like that, fixed blades or locking folders are IMO a must along with proper training. I would just say "Not for beginners". If you are experienced, I would not be concerned. If not, just don't start with this knife. **Q: Is this made by Schaefer?** A: This is sad. I am 63 years old and remember when "Schrade" and "Uncle Henry" were brand names of knives you were PROUD to own and showed off to all your friends. Fortunately I do still have one old 'Uncle Henry" old enough to be of good quality. I recall sharpening a knife (Uncle Henry) for our Sgt and when he cut himself with it the doctor (took 12 stitches inside & out to sew him up) said it looked like he had been cut with a scalpel. I bet you couldn't get one of these new knives that sharp. **Q: Do they make a left hand model** A: We do not carry a left handed model. **Q: Does anyone know how this compares to the flexcut 'carving jack'? it's an obvious attempt by schrade to copy but.......???** A: If you can afford a carving jack why would you even consider buying this ??? don't get me wrong it's a good little knife for the money but it's bulky and not ergonomic at all your hand will hurt after a wile and the blades don't lock like the carving jack . You'll have to sharpen it to your liking ,but I rather loose a $ 25 knife in the woods than a $140 any day of the week. over all it's not a bad little knife once is sharpened ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Hobbyist Tool, Solid Quality, Good Price (Not Comparable with a Bench Tool) *by D***S on July 18, 2018* Exactly what I was looking for -- a reasonably priced folding, multi-blade carving set for fun and for small tasks.

I've had knife for over a year and bought it with the intentions of making beautiful carvings that I could turn into Christmas ornaments. I did a few of the basic carvings after watching several videos. They're nice for someone with normal sized hands and fingers. And I quickly realized that this knife was better suited for busy work while sitting around the fire pit while camping, or up at the hunting camp. I started simple, having not whittled a piece of wood other than the ornaments in over forty years. My first attempt at making something viable was an attempt at a dozen pair of chopsticks. Yes a simple task as you all know. But I had fun with them, making finger holds for a more comfortable grip. Next I made a set of spoons and the more I made, the better they got. Some needed to be cut down a little after cutting myself a few times. The blades initially feel dull. After a few cuts, you realize that they are razor sharp? No. Will they turn a branch into a fork or spoon? All day long. I make spoons, forks (a little tricky and I've ruined several at the last cut, so they were turned into small basic butter knives, those I saw in Sweden that were used to butter the kanackebrod(crispy large cracker) I've made small tools and all in all, it's a fun knife to slip into your pocket before you head into the woods. Like others, I've had some issues with the blades not locking, but after a few minutes and some blood, you quickly learn to remedy that. People do not realize that this is an inexpensive carving knife. Are there better versions? Yes, if you want to pay upwards of several hundred dollars and except for the blades locking, they're essentially the same knife. Your not whittling a forest table setting out of large slices of trees, but once you get the hang, small tasks, tools and eating utensils are in play. I've managed to make a few bowls while in the field that once home, I did the finishing work with my full set of individual carving knives. If you forget your favorite set of utensils home, you'll have an entire set done in under an hour. Chopsticks included. If you forget your tent stakes, or other necessary items that need a blade to finish, this is it. Need rope cut? Done. Paracord? Like butter. Peeling the bark off your next waking stick (I make one every trip into the woods)simple. Then carve a face on the end, or some animal, depending on your skill level, no problem. Or making tools to tend to the fire in the pit, or carving a new handle for a tool while sitting around the fire pit, THIS IS YOUR TOOL. Stop blaming the knife. There are some old woodsmen and a new generation who have gone back to basics, that can take a dull rusty blade, or primitive flake of sharp rock, who can carve a life sized bear into your dead trees. You can drive both a $100.000.00 sports car or a $500.00 used junker. Both will get you from the east coast to the west coast in about the same amount of time. One will have all the bells and whistles and the other will be parked right next to it on the west coast. Will the drive be exact for both cars? No. One will be total luxury that only some are willing to invest into and the other will be the any-man car that is just as capable of making that long drive. But in the end, you'll be at the same California beach, parked next to one another, watching the same sun set. Their seats will better but in the end, both cars do the same things. Being more expensive doesn't always necessarily mean the less expensive products hold less worth. It may not be made as well, but at the end of the day, it still does what it's built to do. I love this knife and use it often. I'm a terrible at carving faces and my gnomes look eerily similar to my Santas. But I don't care, because I enjoy making something from nothing with a tool that most people don't understand. Lastly, pick one up, at this price I'm getting one each for my kids so they have a basic idea how to carve with a tool you can carry in your pocket. You don't need a roll out satchel full of every conceivable blade. You won't need those to make some cuts and fashion a few tools and utensils. It's such a simple decision. After writing this review, I'm going to buy several more to put in each of my families packs. As much fun as camping, hunting Camps or any outdoor area you find yourself in, they tend to get a little boring at night. So I can see how carving can be fun. As soon as the sun comes up, I'm gong to go for a walk through the trails here and find some unique sticks that I can carve into good solid walking sucks. Trust me, I've never lied to you before, so why would I lie now? Get the knife and have realistic expectations from a fifteen dollar knife that has the basic tools to make a sundry list of tools and necessities. ## Frequently Bought Together - Old Timer 24OT Splinter Carvin' 6in Traditional Folding Whittling Knife with 1.5in Detail Blade, Sawcut Handle, Nickel Silver Bolsters, and Convenient Size for Carving, Camping, EDC, and Outdoors - Basswood Carving Blocks, 19PCS Whittling Wood Blocks Kit with 3 Different Sizes, Bass Wood for Carving Easy to Use, for Kids and Adults - Complete Starter Guide to Whittling: 24 Easy Projects You Can Make in a Weekend (Fox Chapel Publishing) Beginner-Friendly Step-by-Step Instructions, Tips, and Ready-to-Carve Patterns for Toys & Gifts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/40415669-old-timer-24ot-splinter-carvin-6in-traditional-folding-whittling-knife](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/40415669-old-timer-24ot-splinter-carvin-6in-traditional-folding-whittling-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
