Song Sung BLUE: Blue-handled Traditional Knives

I have a Day Packer. They're nice little knives, especially for the money.

I agree - I actually bought a few of them when they were on a clearance sale, and will be using them as stocking stuffers for family this year! (I figure with the wide range of colors, everyone can have their own, and there are options that are appealing to the non-knife types for carry in lunch-bags, etc.)
 
I don't have much blue despite the fact that I like it a lot.

I think this may be the only one I have a photo of:

I think I have a blue Tiny Trapper somewhere....

Thanks, Jack!

At some point in my comings and goings and (re)packings at the beginning of August, I evidently stowed it in the mesh side pocket of the caddy I use for my car-cleaning supplies-- a caddy that alternately lives in the back of my car ("boot," for those who are convinced a "trunk" indicates the front of an elephant), the garage, or more recently on a storage shelf in our basement.

Towards the end of attacking basement messes yesterday, yea unto the later hours, I sat down at the bottom of the steps and was soon joined by one of our cats. I held him for a good long while, eventually looking around to survey the ongoing disarray.

I was absently staring at the caddy, off its usual shelf and at an angle on the floor with its side pocket towards me, when I realized I was staring at my Strix through the mesh.

... While finding it at all is grand, I am also relieved to discover that, while forgetful, I had not been careless with it-- the specter of which had been haunting me in the knife's ongoing absence. That pocket was actually a good, safe place for the knife(!).

Enjoying these blues. Outstanding examples. Excellent thread to be able to see some of these.

Some stonewashed blue jigged bone, got this in as a surprise from Paul. After we discussed a 79 workhorse Bob had modded for him he told me out of the 'blue' he was sending me something and this was it. Jigged bone is some wonderful stuff in hand. Thank you~

This is my only blue at the moment, a custom shop buck 110 in indigo royal wood.


But I have another in the makings. I mixed up some home brew blue burlap "mycarta" the other day that I'm going to rescale a 70's sodbuster with. I'll post her up in here when I'm finished
