SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Old Timer Land Shark is a compact yet capable everyday carry pocket knife that blends traditional styling with modern utility. Built with attention to detail and crafted to handle daily tasks with ease, it’s the kind of knife that feels just as at home in your pocket as it does in your hand. With a classic sheepsfoot blade profile and heritage-inspired design elements, the Land Shark brings timeless charm to practical performance.
Its 2.5-inch plain edge blade is made from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel—a steel known for its reliable corrosion resistance, edge retention, and low-maintenance performance. The sheepsfoot shape offers exceptional control and safety, making it ideal for slicing, carving, and detail work without the risk of an overly aggressive point. It’s a blade style favored by craftsmen and tradesmen alike for its utility and ease of use, and the satin finish adds a smooth, low-reflection touch that gives the knife a clean and polished look.
Opening the blade is done the traditional way, with a nail nick placed for convenient access. It’s a nod to the heritage of slip joint knives while remaining fully functional for modern users. With a blade thickness of just .06 inches and weighing in at only 2.6 ounces, the Land Shark is featherlight in the pocket, but offers enough substance to be trusted for daily use.
The handle is where the Old Timer legacy truly shines. Crafted from brown sawcut composition, it has the look and feel of aged bone or woodgrain, but with the strength and durability of a synthetic material that can stand up to weather and wear. The grip feels natural in the hand and adds a touch of vintage character that collectors and users alike will appreciate.
Built with stainless steel liners and nickel silver pins, the Land Shark is sturdy without being bulky. Brass bolsters frame the handle with warmth and elegance, and the brass Old Timer shield embedded in the handle proudly signals its place in the long line of dependable Old Timer knives. The 4-inch closed length gives it a compact footprint, making it easy to carry in a pocket, organizer, or pack without taking up unnecessary space.
Whether you’re working in the shop, opening packages, or handling daily odds and ends, the Old Timer Land Shark is a trusted tool that’s always ready to lend a hand. It combines reliability, portability, and timeless good looks—all in one easy-to-carry package.
