How did this impressive event come about? The roots of the oldies meeting go back, and the Old Timer brand was founded in 1958. Originally designed for the working class, Old Timer knives are now also made for outdoor enthusiasts. The knives are more than just tools; they symbolize memories and passed-on values. This idea of sharing also extends to the oldies meeting, where tradition and craftsmanship are viewed as precious values. So it's no surprise that Old Timer knives have been valued for over 60 years.
