Old Timer18OT Mighty Mite 4.7in Stainless Steel Traditional Folding Pocket Knife with 2in Clip Point Blade, Nickel Silver Bolsters, and Sawcut Handle for Whittling, Hunting, Camping, EDC, and Outdoor

I am pleased and impressed with this little guy. For Sunday slacks or classroom carry (I’m an elementary teacher), it is just right. Yes, it is quite small…. It is purposely designed to be a ‘mite’ for those who want a little, non obtrusive, gentlemen’s pocket blade for light duty tasks:-slicing an apple, orange, kiwi, etc.-opening mail or a boxed package-sharpening a pencil-cutting a stray thread off clothing-slicing paracord for a tie-up project-extracting a skin sliver-duct tape tasks-etc.Buyer, take note — this knife is NOT:-a whittling blade if you want it for big gripping and hard cutting (though it will work nicely for delicate carving details)-a ‘first knife’ for kids or grandkids (too small, too sharp, and way too pointy)-a competitor to tactical knives with pocket clips-an American made knife (yep, it’s made in China, so either don’t buy it or get over it)-a bone handled knife like your Grandpa had (this is old-timey, but a less expensive version with textured synthetic scales)-A smooth flipper that opens with a quick snap (this has a stiff opening mechanism because it is designed that way)Other details:-Fit and finish are what you should expect from a $15 knife; good enough but not exceptional-Blade is well-sharpened out of the box; it will slice foolish fingers-It has a helpful, tiny, sharp point for the right tasks (removing pizza crumbs from your keyboard, but not prying open paint cans)-The blade locking mechanism works well (tight for safe functionality, but not inoperable for capable hands)I’ve had this knife for a week now and have used it for numerous everyday tasks. It’s a winner for the right purposes. It can durably handle pocket tumbling with keys and coins. But, misuse a 4.7” knife with a 2” blade and it will break. Not the knife’s fault.Note: My rating is on the quality, functionality, and my satisfaction based on reasonable expectations when buying a small $15 knife, not a custom made blade :)

The perfect size little pocket knife for all your daily chores. Trimming some wood, opening the mail, cutting twine to length, it does it all. It arrives plenty sharp, opens and closes easily, and very affordable. Get one as a spare!

I bought this to replace a much older version of this knife. Losing it seriously annoyed me, so I bought this knife as an immediate replacement.Pros: I like the size and versatility of the knife. No weight, to speak of. Locking blade feature works well. Knife fits pocket without being noticeable. I carry it with me daily and use it for everything from opening letters and packages; smoothening rough fingernails; cutting through cords, tape, or wrapping; cutting shrink wrap and plastic packaging, and other such applications.Cons: Blade is a bit stiff, making knife harder to open than my older model. I may address this matter with a file, if issue does not correct itself through daily use.Overall, the knife performs well, blade sharpens easily, for as sharp as my uses require, and grip fits my fingers comfortably. Handle is smooth and looks nice. The knife is a fine replacement for the one I lost. Quality is as good as, if not better than, the Old Timer I bought fifteen of twenty years ago.

I’ve loved collecting and using small pocket knives since 1956 when I turned ten. I’m well familiar with all brands both imported and US made. Boker, Case, Buck, RoughRyder, Schrade,Spyderco, GEC, Bear and Son Gerber, to name a few. They all have their quality control issues. Steels vary, fit and finishes vary. I’ve seen some surprisingly disappointing knives from time to time from all of them. But for the most part all have worked out well for me and I’ve enjoyed using them. I currently happen to have in my collection six Chinese Made Uncle Henry knives including two of these little Mighty Mites. The fit and finish on all of them is fine. I’ve used one Mighty Mite the most for 6 months. Carrying it in my pocket and using it in the garage, garden, workshop, and just around the house. It works great. The Chinese steel works, is easy to sharpen, and stays sharp as well as any US Schrade knives, Case or Buck knives I own and have used in similar ways. If you’re a “normal” person who takes care of your stuff, isn’t a steel snob and doesn’t abuse your knives, and who likes to carry a small but useful knife in your pocket or purse to meet normal every day cutting and snipping jobs I think you will enjoy one of these Mighty Mites.

This is the perfect little pocket knife. It is great for those small cutting tasks. The only problem I have found is that I cannot open it without using pliers or some other implement. My fingernails are simply not strong enough to allow me to open the blade without help. Once open it is a great little knife.

Great quality and price
