SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Schrade Old Timer Minuteman is a true pocket-sized classic, designed for those who appreciate heritage craftsmanship in a compact everyday carry. With its dual-blade versatility, timeless style, and dependable build, the Minuteman proves that great things really do come in small packages. Whether you're slicing open a package, trimming cord, or handling the small tasks of everyday life, this knife delivers function with a familiar sense of tradition.
Featuring two blades—each crafted from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel—the Minuteman is ready to handle a range of jobs with precision and ease. The primary 2-inch clip point blade offers excellent control and sharpness, perfect for fine detail work and general cutting tasks. The secondary 1.5-inch pen blade is ideal for lighter work and touch-ups, making the pair a versatile duo that covers your daily needs. Both blades sport a clean satin finish that resists rust and reduces glare, giving the knife a polished, refined look without compromising its hardworking roots.
Opening the blades is smooth and simple with right-hand nail nicks, staying true to the traditional slip joint design. The .06-inch blade thickness keeps the knife slim and easy to control, while still offering enough strength for everyday use. The Minuteman’s compact 2.87-inch closed length and light 1-ounce weight make it almost disappear in your pocket—until you need it, that is.
The handle reflects Schrade’s iconic Old Timer styling, featuring a brown sawcut composition that mimics the look of aged bone while offering enhanced durability and weather resistance. It’s grippy, reliable, and full of vintage character that knife collectors and enthusiasts instantly recognize. Brass pins and liners reinforce the frame, while nickel silver bolsters add a touch of elegance and old-school charm. At the heart of the handle sits the nickel silver Old Timer shield, a proud symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
This knife isn’t flashy or overbuilt—it’s honest, straightforward, and made for people who use their tools. It slips easily into any pocket, organizer, or tackle box, making it the perfect companion for work, travel, or everyday utility. Whether you’re looking for a starter knife, a backup blade, or a gift with classic appeal, the Old Timer Minuteman earns its keep with timeless style and dependable performance.
