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

working on patina,and pizza for my nephew

First up, a Mora I used for carving a spoon. I split a log with a froe. You can see how rough the stock was in the other half of the log under the spoon. I used a hatchet for most of the shaping. The Mora was used for the carving. (The spoon was not finished in this shot.) Second, a GEC 72 easily sliced through this old leather belt. Third, a traditional marking knife trimmed the leather to fit the stropping wheel. This was for use on my lathe as a power strop.







These shots were taken over several weeks. I just now catching up!

I recently used my Charlow to strip some wires to fix one of my turn signals. In the middle of the city. Kind of a retro scene.

Been insulating my rim joists. TEW lambsfoot for cutting the fiberglass, Vic SAK for the rough stuff, Case grail knife just for a little fiddling with foamboard.

No pictures as I own a dumbphone and the camera is terrible...renew my phone any day now and I'm torn whether or not to stay in the dumb catagory

BUT, I did use the sheepfoot on my EO Scout I was gifted from Primble to score about an 1/8 of an inch up from the bottom of a hollow core door before trimming so it wouldn't splinter above the score line:thumbup: Such a great knife/blade for utility work

Had to bust up some BIG boxes today - these two did just fine:







... with snow blowing in, to boot.

I used my Bullnose to open a few bills just moments ago.

Can't believe this thread has disappeared, it used to be one of the core forum threads!

I had to use my Radio Jack to put up a new coat hook on Christmas Day after my dozy mate Kiwi Ned somehow managed to snap the old one! The Radio Jack also opened a lot of beer bottles

I sensed your sadness Jack, even while you were drinking that delicious smoked beer in your pick, I haven't had a Schlenkerla in years, I used to drink them with a friend of mine from Cambodia he would call it "bacon beer" anyway I thought I would help out a bit and made a conscious effort to snap some picks yesterday while doing my daily routine type stuff.

First my Damascus soddie cut up Jalapenos for my corn sticks, to accompany the dinner I had planned, snow had melted and I've been itching to do some things, so I processed some wood for a fire, so I could cook outdoors.

Soddie cut up the veggies


Then of course I needed something to cut my food with

Then after I used the pen on my peanut to clean a pipe and the butt end to tamp and enjoy a smoke by the fire with a cup of tea and the moon peering through the trees

I can understand that my friend!

Thanks for coming to the rescue Pete, I always love seeing your posts here - even though they make me hungry! Great to see life is good in the new place, long may it be so Great knives too, your new Soddie looks superb

Happy New Year pal, wishing you and the girls a very happy one :thumbup:

I used the master blade on my Case Sowbelly to round a corner of a 2x4 that is part of a new hand rail in the back yard. Later I used the very thin and sharp spey blade to slide behind a label and cut the threads holding it to the neckline of a new shirt. (That's why I prefer knives with multiple blades. )

Nice coloring on the scales. How does the sowbelly ride in the pocket?

Surprisingly easily, despite its size of 3 7/8". With its rounded bolsters and thinner thickness, it rides much more easily than my Buck 301's, even though they are the same length.

The 23L sliced up some veggies and leftover steak for a black bean and tomatillo chile.
