Traditional and Modern pairings

A fun "modernized traditional" from AG Russell...
Pocket clip, Chinese stainless steel, and one hand opening capability.
I don't really ever carry modern knives any more, but when this one came back in stock, I had to pick it up.

Rose just got her 72, it instantly became one of her two favorites.

This is a more accurate term to describe such a knife than "modern traditional". Folks should take after you John.

I came up with that term after watching that particular discussion.

I have been dabbling with modern knives recently. I still have a few; They are a fun sidetrack at times. I'm even seriously considering buying a new benchmade, but I'll wait a little to make sure I'm still in my right mind before deciding.

I've still got a couple of modern knives left. Every once in a blue moon I throw one in my pocket. It never lasts for more than a few hours though. I always take out my traditional knife to cut something, so the modern is just a brick clipped to my pocket. Back in the drawer it goes until I get the itch to carry it again.

This benchmade 710 looks pretty nice... for a modern.

These two have been finding the most pocket time, not always together, but at least daily for both.

You could get a lot of work done with those two!

Thanks Kevin.

Yeah, pairing up the functionality of different knives is always a fun exercise, but the Gayle Bradley and a Lambsfoot are a combo I always seem to return to. The stout GB is that folder you can reach for, when you probably should be changing up to a fixed blade instead. And the fine, razor sharp Lambsfoot point rounds out the versatility of the pairing.

I hope you’re having a great weekend, my friend, and enjoying your freedom from the imminent back-to-the-grindstone feel of the Monday Morning Work Blues.
