Favorite traditionals

[FreeState42]

Just about any single blade. As far as pattern, the 86 is my favorite. Feels good in hand and isn’t too bulky for the pocket.

My most recent pick up but it has become my favorite: 74 in burlap micarta.

I picked one of those up recently. I like it way more than I thought I would.

New here wanted to see some of you guys favorite traditional knives. I mostly collect GEC so I’ll start with one of mine. Good ol calf pen.

The calf pen is awesome. I remember when they came out I picked one up immediately. They had mixed reviews at the time

I’ve noticed they’re becoming increasingly popular for some reason. I totally understand why but not sure why they weren’t always popular.

I am a big fan of the 86’s as well double or single blade I loved the whole first run of them. I really liked the lone stars.

Calf pen is a useful little dude.

My current favorite that’s getting most use time.

Hello.

What's pattern?

It's tough to choose an all-out favorite, but my stag 72 is definitely one of them.

Hello.

hi Bernieg. Welcome to bladeforums.

That is a case/bose collaboration wharncliff trapper. They have made some non collaboration models also that are much more affordable. I have one in antique bone that is probably one of the best made production knives I own. Very useful, very easy to carry pattern.

Like many forum members , I have many favorites , but my favorite Pattern is NORTFIELD 73 with a Drop Point blade

But that probably is not my Most Carried Knife . In fact it is this old Stag Handled Pruner backed up with a good Sheepfoot and or Lambfoot blade

That is awesome my grandfather used to carry an old stag pruner knife kind of like that but it had the hook looking blade. Hawksbill/pruner type blade I guess you call it. Thanks for sharing those pictures beautiful ol knife.

Thank you for the kind words young man . I suspect that my old Stag Pruner had a Hawkbill Blade when it was new and that the Hook has been sharpened away . I have only owned mine for about 10 months . I would like to know where all it has been and what it has done . I hope that you were able to use his old blade .
