Howzit man! Greetings and welcome to traditional.
Thanks for the awesome welcome:
Here conveniently on my phone are a Case Trapper, Christmas present from my son. We've started a sort of unofficial tradition of him giving me a knife, and me giving a multi-function tool. I'll have to make sure to tell mama to steer him towards traditional-styles from now on. I carried this for about a month till panic set in when I couldn't find it (turned up in a pair of cargo shorts in my "still-clean-enough-to-wear pile").
Also a Buck 112 that is my current EDC, though it's really too heavy:
The 112 was a gift from co-workers about 20 years ago and has never been used much. One of the cool perks of being an avid hunter is family & friends are always giving knives as gifts. Many are junk, but some are pretty nice. Going through my dresser recently, I found a 2003 Battling Bucks (by Buck) ltd edition in the tin case, never removed. It looks like a mini-Bowie, maybe 4.5" OAL. Also a set of 2 Winchester stockman-style still in the tin.
My EDC for over 20 years was a Buck 307 Wrangler, till it was lost through a hole in my pocket. Dad gave me his 301 Stockman to replace it, but I retired it when he passed a few years ago. I miss that Wrangler and may have to bite the bullet and find one somewhere.
I have a multitude of others I'll be posting in the future.
Thanks again for the welcome!

A warm welcome to you sir! Pour yourself a cup of coffee, and enjoy the wealth of knowledge, spectacular pictures, and global camaraderie that graces this small section of the internet. :thumbup:
Ah heck, I already live in the doghouse, it has it's own satellite dish.

A big ole Texas welcome. You will find this a great place to be your calming medicine when you have had a rough day. The knowledge and friendship is the best. Stay awhile and enjoy the stories, pictures, and enabling.
