I'm not going to participate, but I regularly carry a Mora Eldris and it does everything I need except food prep. Could probably do that too, the grind is more of an issue than the length.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
Could be eye openingMy blazing yellow Spyderco Enuff Sheepsfoot SE is looking at me, daring me to carry only it for a month. A knife with a 2.75 inch blade looks cartoonish in my hand but I'm curious if I can make it work.
Hmm....
Does it have to be ONLY one knife? Or can we carry more than one of the under 3" size? Currently I'm carrying 4, all under 3"This is the little knife challenge. For one month, you have to only use [any] knife that is less than 3 inches for all your
day to day cutting/edc tasks.
there is a twist however: every time you find that 2.9 inches isn't enough, you MAY use something longer, but you HAVE to write it down. At the end of the month long challenge, count how many times you had to use a knife longer than 2.9 inches and post it on the thread
Exceptions apply:
1. Food prep and cooking
2. Outdoor gardening
3. Game dressing
Been looking for one, I know where to buy them new but they are charging a lot. So I buy vintage slipjoints on ebay and can't say I'm too --- disappointed, currently waiting on a Wenger esquireI'll accept it but I've gotten into great eastern cutlery so it won't be hard.

Vintage slipjoints are pretty comparable, I agree, GEC is pretty expensive. I have to slow down on purchases currently... Great smaller carry, absolutely most of them will fit the under 3 inch carry but I suppose that goes for all traditionals.Been looking for one, I know where to buy them new but they are charging a lot.

The exceptions are there because someone would have chimed in with "what about, what about" and also, I don't expect anyone to dress a moose with a classic SDOh boy, how am I going to cut open all those Amazon packages with sub 3-inch knife??!?!?!?
But seriously, with those exceptions in place this is no challange.
I just bought a peanut CV from case directly, should do the grand majority of what I need in a cutter. Some traditional knives are pretty large, I have no need for one, not a lot of cutting jobs require the full length of a 3"+ knife bladeVintage slipjoints are pretty comparable, I agree, GEC is pretty expensive.

Heck ya said a month. Been doing this for decades!
Ya know, there's probably an easier way to announce that you're dating again...I chose not to participate.
I fight Grizzlies (*to the death), six days a week, in a local "Octagon"...

I just don't see my little "The 55" getting much usage. Y'all have fun.
