- Verified Buyer
I have owned many Old Timers over the years and I am 65 and an ICU nurse, I don't know what the devil you did to the blade but it " USED " to be carbon steel. This new thing I bought does not say " Made in America " and the blade is made of something more like stainless steel and is exceedingly hard to sharpen, THEY ALWAYS developed a Patina on the blade after a while and this change in metal selection just stinks. Won't be buying another one.
