SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Old Timer Bruin Lockback is built for those who still believe in carrying a knife that looks right, feels right, and gets the job done without fuss. It's a classic pocket knife through and through, blending timeless materials with dependable performance in a compact, no-nonsense package. Whether you're opening feed bags, trimming cord, or just whittling by the fire, this knife’s ready to work.
The Bruin features a 2.75-inch drop point blade made from tough 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, known for holding a fine edge while resisting rust and corrosion. The satin finish gives it a clean, traditional look, while the long nail nick makes for easy two-handed opening in the field or at the bench. The blade locks up solid with a classic lockback design—sturdy, reliable, and proven over generations.
The handle is crafted from brown sawcut composition, offering that familiar, textured grip that calls back to the days when every man had a pocketknife worth its weight. Nickel silver bolsters add strength and shine, while brass pins and liners round out the construction with time-tested durability. The inlaid nickel silver Old Timer shield lets you know it’s the real deal.
At 3.75 inches closed, the Bruin fits comfortably in your pocket or tackle box without weighing you down. It's the kind of knife that feels right in your hand and fits naturally into your daily rhythm. Simple. Tough. Dependable. Just the way a good knife ought to be.
