I cannot explain why, but after six years of collecting knives, which involved buying and selling many scores of knives, I have settled on the large Sebenza as my go to daily carry knife. It is strange to look back and see how it that happened, but it did. The large Sebenza is always the one I am sticking in my pocket. Of course, I will always have a small number of traditionals, and this Jess Horn is one of the best. Like the Sebenza, it has timeless style.

That's a Shadow Trapper made by John Lloyd, CPM-154 blade and some great stag. If John has a particular name for the pattern, I'm not aware of it. My favorite pocket knife and purchased on the BF exchange. I lucked out.

Thank you, now I have a name to look up and a traditional to dream of. A stellar looking knife!

Today’s carry, an old modern an a new traditional

It's nice, when modern knife makers use a kind of steel which gives you the possibility to collect patina.
A great link to the traditional world, I think.

Some years of patina advantage...

Variety is The spice of life as my Dad use to say

Trying out an inexpensive modern folder, fits my hand really well. The SAK Pioneer X is a mainstay.

These both have that "new knife smell" to me, and seemed to pair up nicely
