Do You Consider The Canadian Belt Knife Traditional?

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

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:
 
They are traditional in my book. There's some fine looking examples being posted!
 
I have a few, including one of John's CBK jr.

I have always loved the design!


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

I do indeed consider it traditional.
