Pipes and Traditional knives (cigars welcome)

Speaking of pipes & knives when will a...any... knife company bring back the "pipe knife" traditional folder?

What is that carved from Zemapeli? Really cool!

It is carved out of cherry wood from a cherry tree in my back yard. The stem is made from an Easton aluminum arrow shaft. Thanks, it was a fun project. It hits like a champ. :thumbup:
 
Flyboy70, put that stick in a humidor and forget about it for a few months. It'll be smokeable. As I just made up my own word. Do NOT put any of your traditional knives (see? content?) in said humidor, or they'll rust.
 
Rocky Patel Connecticut....even though I like sticks a notch stronger, it's nice mild cigar...my first RP.

Sorry for the lousy pic...on a new laptop and my old Photoshop 4.0 won't work on it....trying less flexible free alternatives.

Out watching the deer play in the backyard this afternoon. Hope the 50t is traditional enough for this thread. It's the first knife I bought with my own money back around '87 or 88. I was 7 or 8 years old at the time.

Today I decided to smoke my grandfathers pipe, my mother brought it up on Easter, it's a LHS imported briar certified purex model, I decided to do a little research and was bitten by nostalgia.




The L&H Stern Inc. was established by Ludwig Stern (1877-1942) in 1911. His brother Hugo (1872-?) acted as vice-president & secretary. The firm moved to 56 Pearl St. Brooklyn in 1920. It closed down in the 1960s.
LHS was one of the main pipe supplier for US soldiers during WWII.

My mothers father was a battalion liaison agent during the war and received medals for his service in Europe, Africa and the Middle East



Here pictured together for what I'm guessing the first time since his passing in '77 but probably even longer, his pipe, pipe tool, tobacco pouch, knife, and service discharge papers.



I decided to pack his pipe and use his tamp as a birthday treat to myself, the stem is cool it's threaded.



With my things including the 68 white owl my wife and daughter gifted me 3 years ago today, I haven't smoked in almost 2 months and this was a pleasant cool smoke that I enjoyed the connection with my grandfather who's lap I last sat in at age 5, 38 years ago, the scent of his pipe smoking even with my tobacco still had the scent of his.

To say that I quit smoking regularly 30-odd years ago, I still spend a lot of time in my local tobacconists! :D Today I needed pipe-cleaners (used for cleaning old penknives), and also picked up an old cigar box (used for knife storage) ;) :thumbup:

 
Pete - Happy Birthday! Cool pipe and story, thanks for the history.

Jack - It's hard to leave the old haunts isn't it. Just the scent alone warrants a visit to the tobacconist every now and then.

Absolutely my friend. I could never pass without spending five minutes staring in the window, but a new law here now forbids the display of tobacco products in the window :(
