Sailors Traditionals

[El_Pumadora]

Hey y'all, I've become quite enthralled with sailors traditional patterns lately and want to get some eye candy together in a thread. I've always liked blades that are a little funky so my first suggestion is a Sunfish/Elephant Toenail pattern. Second, is a recent obsession, the Gwalarn pattern. Until an hour ago, I didn't know it was called Gwalarn but I like the look of this as it reminds me of a sheepsfoot in a pruner style. Anyhoo, let's see some more salty pride! Show me your high seas sharp stuff!

Here is Camillus rope knife, sail boat "friendly" It is unusual to find it 3 3/8" close length. Usually they are much larger (the one in the middle)

Great pictures, some look like they have been around the deck a few times.

Jack, that knife is breath taking in it's aura of history. We can only imagine what tales it could tell if it could talk!

Thanks Carl, I am still blessing my good luck for finding that one. Not sure I'd trust the compass bearing though!
