Now that's a great use for a punch -- well done!

That is one heck of a beautiful knife.

My grandfather was an archeologist and he wore this tropical cork hat and carried this Nowregian knife on his field trips (some 70 years ago).

Le Chapeau de Tilley.

I suspect that the knife fails to qualify as 'traditional,' but I'm still hoping to get in here. After all, the hat's a Stetson Open Road.

You're right. The knife doesn't qualify. Nice hat though.
Let's keep it traditional, please.

Fair enough. Will do.

Can't remember my grandfather outside the ranch house with out wearing an Open Road.

One of mine above the left front pocket:

Not Doc:

Heck even in France:

Never know where ya gonna run into a Horsewright knife and a cowboy hat!

While no knives visible in this pic I think some were used to incise the stone. This cowboy deal been going on a while now:

My last post in this thread was slightly out of bounds, so how about . . . . An Akubra Camp Draft and a Wiley Duck folder? I don't carry the knife very much, just because I prefer a locking knife, but I should probably disclose that I've known Jon Sumpter for many years. We lost touch for a long time, but I found him (or maybe the other way around) on social media a few years ago.

The Marttiini Lynx Lumberjack shown is not one of their knives, but I have a feeling that the good folks at Burls & Steel would approve of their hat being shown with that workhorse.

Green River blade that I got as a blank and fashioned a handle from black locust and wood burned the edges. Hat depicting another of my hobbies.

That's a good looking knife. Locust should be pretty much forever.

Thanks, Boattale. I've work with a lot of Black locust, tough and durable wood a lot like osage.
