Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

Used my GEC 55 on the mail and several packages today. The wharncliffe blade made quick work of the packages.

I carried my Charlow most of this week, and I used it everyday at least once. I never think to post here. Today I used it as a worry stone while studying for my last final of the semester, then to open the new phone which means I will now be able to post decent pictures.
 
Used my Conductor Whittler to take off a chunk of a ginormous chocolate bar someone brought in to work. Good thing too or I would have had to eat the entire bar.
 
Antipasti: bresaola, sopressetta, genoa, provolone, olives from Italy and a Baguette for lunch Peanut on hand....

It's a licensed Colt peanut but made by Rough Rider. It's my favorite EDC.

I had to switch out my Buck 709, which is 440C with a BOS heat treat. The darn thing take forever to sharpen, the steel is ridiculously tough...! You could sit there for half an hour on a fine stone and get nowhere. Lol.

That is a great little knife. I used to have a case peanut but gave it away to a member of my wedding party. I just can't justify right now unpocketing almost $50 for a peanut knife, but I just ordered one of these rough rider peanuts in yellow scales with a great looking shield. Thanks for the heads up!

You can also find used schrade old timers 1080t and others in great condition. I won that buck yearling for 8 bucks shipped I soaked it in oil and then rehabbed it. I'm trying to find another one right now lol.

Looks great! Nice green bone on that one, and I've always been a fan of the heart shield they used on those. :thumbup:

Thanks. The heart shield and the green bone were just two of the several selling points that attracted me to this one.

Here's a little sharper photo.

Picked up a light lunch today...

Well, because I do not have the ability to unhinge my jaw I utilized my Charlow to make this beast a little more manageable.

That was one mean Reuben!

A large cardboard box (60"x48" pieces) required reduction to small pieces so as to fit in the recycle bin. The D2 sheepsfoot blade of this Queen half-Congress was more than up to the task. There was more resistance than if I had stopped to dig out a razor knife, but it wasn't difficult slicing. I was impressed with how controllable and comfortable this thin single spring knife turned out to be.
