Oops ... Current fave is my #68 Northfield. Lots of pocket time for it at the moment. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1369350907.295579.jpg
Thanks for the opportunity

Well, my first traditional was a SAK Fieldmaster--I've had that for over 20 years and used it countless times in I-don't-know how many countries for everything and anything... but since then I've had a couple of Buck 110's pass through my hands (as well as a custom that I'll pass along to my son), I've picked-up a single bladed alox SAK, a GEC #76 stag Outlaw Jack, a #42 Trader with copperhead jigged bone, and a #42 Trapper with cocobolo scales... I love them all. My daughter has her eye on the Trader... soon, but not yet. What I love about traditionals is the physical, palpable connection with the past. Both my grandfathers always had a slipjoint on them--they had fixed blades too. Knives were simply a part of everyday life, and when they used them it was (almost) always without violent intent... WWII was different, of course. So, count me in; I'd love to pick-up something that I don't have and has some age on it. Thanks for the chance, and for your generosity.
 
wow please count me in. Mine would be my olsen skinner for a fixed blade and an old case penknife for a folder. wish i was able to post a picture.
 
I'm in, thanks for the chance! My favorite traditional is my dad's dad's old Queen peanut. They don't make 'em like that anymore...
 
Favourite knife has to be the stockman, mostly because of the utility in all the blades.
Thanks for a chance
 
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I'm just getting into knives and my favorite traditional is a scouts knife that was passed down to me by my mother. It is definitely not the best knife, but it is the my most special knife.
 
I would still consider myself new to the world of traditionals but so far my favorite is the trapper. 2 large versatile blades with a classic look - whats not to like?
I would like to try a barlow! Next on my list I think...
 
Awesome, I'm in if I may,

I'm fairly new to traditionals but of the ones I've tried I go back and forth between the sodbuster, the stockman the tl-29 and the white owl from GEC.

Lately it's this one most often though with a Peter J. Parisi inspired attempt at a Knife "leash" :):



That's mainly because this one's part of it's own giveaway right now so I'm trying to distance myself emotionally :(

 
My favorite is probably my bhk woodman pro. As far a folders go I'd have to say a stockman but I'm always on the lookout for a new favorite. I used to carry a barlow as a kid and have been feeling the itch to get a new one.
 
What a generous giveaway! I'm in, but it sure took me a while to try and pick a favorite of mine. I knives that remind me of so many people that make me smile, but instead of sentimental value, I wanted to claim a favorite on the basis of the knife itself. I finally settled on these two (cut me some slack - same knife, just different covers ;)). They embody the ideal triangle I look for of clean lines, ruggedness, and craftsmanship. Of course, ask me next week, and I'll have another answer...

 
For thirty-nine years the Case slimline trapper in CV and yellow delrin was my one and only favorite. It is my all time favorite today because it was given to me by my father-in-law and it is just about the right size for everything I ever needed to use it for. I since have bought a replacement as the original one's walk and talk have diminished over the years. Now I have a bunch of favorites that I was introduced to here on this great sub forum! Thank you for the opportunity! I might get to try a different pattern!
 
That is a very nice Give Away!

My favorite traditional has got to be the cotton sampler. Something about those big ole wide blades that gets me. Although I carry a whittler most often as I find it way more practical and pocket friendly. But I will always have a place in heart for the sampler, with a rope knife close behind. Thanks!
 
I also like the Case Stockman, the first knife I owned was a Stockman that cost $1.04 tax and all if that tells you how long ago that was... :)
 
my favorite might well be my #7 opinel with the carbon blade. another day and it might be the douk douk or mercator black cat. though of course im also partial to the orange svord peasant knife. or the swiss army 'tinker'. though theres also a couple rough riders (sunfish and doctors knife). i have a couple hawkbills that i like a lot also. and lets not even start talking machetes lol.
not an entry, by the way. very nice offer, though.
 
I'm in. My favorite today, is my GEC calf roper in cocobola. My all time favorite is a Case amber bone trapper that my Dad carried all the time. I inherited after he passed. It holds lots of fond memories ! Thanks got this contest.
