What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Red Neck Farm Tool today.

Carrying both of these is a little redundant. They just arrived today so I've been wandering around the yard looking for photo ops. First time I've dipped my toe in the Alox waters. I'm a sucker for dark blue

Bantam and Pioneer

 

[SVTFreak]

My wife requested the first gumbo of the season for today. It’s still a bit warm. But, for me, it’s one if the 4 food groups (gumbo, jambalaya, hamburgers, tacos). I could eat it dead of summer. Anyway. I air fry chickens over the summer and do 2 at a time. Each time, we eat one and freeze the other. Yanked it out and tossed it in. Today’s jewelry is a Jim Dunlop improved trapper. But the work was done by a gec bunkhouse parer and an original American knife works chefs knife. It’s a big slab of w2 that isn’t so hard that it chips if it hits a bone, so it’s my go-to for anything meat related! Amd it’s so dadgum comfortable, not to mention one of the prettiest chefs knives I’ve ever seen, in my opinion.



And some of you probably want to see the gumbo…

The Bantam makes such a good watch pocket carry.

A repeated duo since last weekend. Lambfoot and small Tinker. The Lambfoot has been my apple knife of late

Cattle Knife and a Trapper

That’s a lovely old Navy Jack, and your little monkey fist is fitting tribute for a sailor’s pocket. Nice job tying that!

Thank you. It didn't occur to me until you pointed it out, but a monkey fist is a sailor's knot, isn't it? Very fitting.

Cool Imperial and unbreakable 'conker' Rachel!

Haha! The knot may be unbreakable, but I'm sure it's too light to win any conker games. It would be an endless draw.

Happy Birthday... Nothing wrong with grilling in the rain.

I wish our primitive ancestors hadn't been such a bunch of pinheads. It isn't worth trying on a second-hand hat.
But it just occurred to me I could buy a used tweed jacket and try to make a hat. A bucket hat might be within my abilities.
Though the venerable watch cap is not exactly the chickens' feets.

I know what you mean Jer!

The next time you’re in Edinburgh, you really should visit Scotland...

I've heard a few folk say that Jeff, including friends from Edinburgh!

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Definitely a pair of aces for you today, Jack; awesome saw cut bone covers on you very cool old IXL Barlow!

Toting my two favorite trappers for Tuesday.

Sincere thanks JJ, both for your kind words, and for giving us another look at those two titanic Trappers, very cool

Remington and Camillus trappers

Beautiful pair Steve

It is for sure Rachel I guess you could put a steel ball inside the knot, turn it into a slung shot

I concur, that is indeed a beautiful chef knife.

This was delivered today by UPS as I was leaving my home to run some errands. It will be enjoyable watching this knife develop it's own character over time.

Doors open, bruh. Come get you some!
