Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Tim Olt in Action

Well...one of his knives anyway.

About a year and a half ago, Tim put together one of his drop point patterns for me. He left the handle extra wide for my big mitts and upon receiving it, I went about using it for dang near everything I could. I posted a few pics of it in this post from another thread:





Taking what I learned from using that knife, I asked Tim to grind another blade for me with a handle that better fit my hand. I traced out a pattern as best I thought would work and sent it to him. The middle of this past October I got a package in the mail and this was the knife he sent me.

The blade is right at 3.75" from the front of the scales to the tip.
0.150" thick CPM154.
The handle ended up being about 5" long...and beefy.
Ironwood scales, orange liners and SS Corby bolts.

This past weekend, I finally managed to get away and make it into the woods. After waiting two days for something with decent head gear to walk out, my desire for meat in the freezer won out over my desire for antlers and I took a little meat buck. Perfect fare to put the new knife to use.

As expected, Tim's products make quick work of game processing. This "Big Hunter" was no exception and coupled with one of his B&T knives, the pair quickly broke the animal down for the trip home. Just wanted to share a little more of Tim's great work with the group.











The B&T is made in the same theme, stainless (S30V), Ironwood scales, orange liners, and SS Corby bolts. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of it in action but will try to get some soon.

Schweet blade, I got big hands too so most of my handles are at 5" and beefy. Enjoy that venison!

Tim is a great knife maker to work with. I too have XXXL hands, and Tim has succeeded time after time in building me a perfect fitting knife.

I’ve yet to own one of Tim’s knives. Plan is in the works to correct that. Tim is doing a Sharpfinger reproduction for me.

Sure like the look of your Tim Olt knife. Can you post a link to his website? Thanks.

No website.
Best to start with a pm here.
Thanks
Tim
Some pics here if PB lets you look.
