Do You Consider The Canadian Belt Knife Traditional?

[JK Knives]

I do, and it`s one of my favorites!

One in ebony.



and one in ironwood.

 

[Bob W]

Heck yeah, a long-time classic pattern matched to natural materials, definitely "traditional" in my book, and I'm not even Canadian.

 

[SAK Guy]

Yes! Yours are very nice!!!!!

Yes! Yours are very nice!!!!!

Thank you!

I have some by Murphy and Grohmann.

 

[Hammer67]

Absolutely. I think it's very classic, and an under-appreciated design. Many people are put off by the blade shape, but once you use one for a while, the genius behind the design just "clicks."

And JK - that ebony version is sweet. :thumbup:

Here's my Grohmann #2 "Bird and Trout" which is a very versatile little knife:

And a couple Bark River versions:

Great knives, very nice feel in the hand. This is the biggie from the Grohmann custom shop.

Mind showing the blade, Robin?
I owned a fixed blade many years ago. Maybe it's time to find another!?

It's a great little pattern. I have one I've used for processing deer and it really excells at it. It cuts and seems to stay out of the way at the same time. :thumbup:

There you go Charlie, it was stashed in a different file.

They are traditional in my book. There's some fine looking examples being posted!

 

[glennbad]

I have a few, including one of John's CBK jr.

I have always loved the design!

 

[Halfneck]

I've been pretty interested in that pattern for a while. Need to handle one first and see if I like how it feels in-hand. Was looking around their website and I really like the look of the flat grind #1 and #2.

its a knife I enjoy using and I think of it as a traditional knife. I have used this one for a long time and hope to continue doing so...

Another (lousy) pic with my Orig #1, Linen Micarta, flat ground in carbon.

The Russell-Grohmanns are on my re-shoot list!

One of my favorite wilderness knives, I got to use a #1 for 2 weeks on a woods walk, it performed exactly as expected. It performed 85% of the tasks around the camp. :thumbup:

 

[Tahts-a-dats-ago]

It's my favorite of all... and yes, I consider it to be traditional.

Here's the first one John made:

 

[link2derek]

I've always considered the Canadian patterns as very traditional indeed.

 

[rdrogers]

You know it's my favorite fixed blade, Mr. K!

I do indeed consider it traditional.

 

[KYenglish]

yes I do

first and so far only example, but it's a heck of a useful design
