Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

[Old Hunter]

Needed some "meat & potatoes" for dinner with all the festivities and the rich foods about to begin; Venison Stew for tonight. OH

Beautiful pocketknife - the bolster is unique. That dinner in your Lodge skillet looks mighty good. I bought my daughter and her husband a new Lodge Skillet last Christmas, they liked mine - theirs also has the same handle design yours does, Lodge must have changed the handle style after all these years. OH

Must only be a recent change, i was looking at some about 3 years ago and they were still the old style.

That lodge is from the blacklock collection not the regular line. https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/blacklock-skillet?sku=BL39SK

I got this new knife early in 2025 - instantly the largest Stockman I own (by 1/8"), so it should be posed with the largest skillet I own - the Smithey. Breakfast this morning, bacon first (the grease is for the eggs that follow). OH

Thanks R RayTL !
I bet that old family blade of yours has a lot of memories & stories to tell

Thickening a cream & tomato sauce after pan frying some chicken. Cast iron holds heat & flavors better than other pans



P.S. You can only truly call yourself a cast iron user if you know the secrets of the built in spoon rests

That’s a beautiful Smithey to go with a beautiful knife

I do believe that is camel bone.

Correct birdsbeaks ! And thank you 1 155440 . That is indeed smooth dyed camel bone on the 87. One of my favorites.

Some of the camelbone scales are sweet, I have one on a northwoods presedential I like a lot.

the two tone look is very classy. It almost reminds me of a black and white ebony wood.

Yes that's why I fell for that one. And that diagonal shallow crack makes it look ancient. The other side is smooth and more uniform dark color bone.
