SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Old Timer 216OT Liner Lock Hawk Bill Pruner is a dependable, no-nonsense folding knife built for real-world use in the yard, on the job, or out in the field. Designed with utility and comfort in mind, this knife carries the classic styling Old Timer is known for while delivering practical performance you can count on every time you reach for it.
At the heart of the 216OT is a 3-inch stainless steel hawkbill blade with a satin finish. The hawkbill shape is ideal for controlled pull cuts, slicing through rope, pruning small branches, stripping wire, or tackling other curved cutting tasks where a standard blade just won't do. The satin finish reduces glare while offering a smooth, clean look that pairs well with the knife’s traditional styling. A simple nail nick opening provides reliable, old-school access to the blade when you're ready to work.
The 216OT features a liner lock mechanism, giving it a modern edge in safety and usability. When open, the blade locks into place with a solid click, ensuring it stays put during hard use. When you're finished, the lock disengages easily with one hand for quick folding and storage.
The handle is crafted from durable Delrin, a synthetic material known for its resistance to wear, heat, and chemicals. Finished in Old Timer’s signature brown, it’s both rugged and easy on the eyes. Nickel silver bolsters, pins, and a classic shield inlay complete the vintage look, giving this knife a timeless feel with modern durability. At just 4 inches closed and weighing 3.4 ounces, it’s compact enough for easy carry but substantial enough to get the job done.
This knife excels in hands that work—whether trimming in the garden, cutting twine at the farm, or handling everyday chores. Its curved blade and comfortable grip make repetitive slicing tasks easier, while the sturdy construction ensures it will hold up over the long haul. For anyone seeking a classic-style work knife with modern locking performance, the Old Timer 216OT is a solid choice. Order it today from SMKW!
