What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thanks, Dave. And I don’t blame you for liking the Harness Jack! It’s a great combination of blades.

At the risk of boring y’all, and neglecting my cigar boxes of other perfectly good knives, I’m staying with my Schrade Walden 294. It just suits me so well~ handle shape, and long clip blade combined with the pen blade. I’ve got a prettier one in peach seed bone, but I can be clumsy, so bulletproof delrin just works. And I carry this old Sodbuster a lot, too. Just like it.
Rain and heavy wind took out our electricity and took down my front gate (the 6x8 post the gate hung on was rotted and I should have already replaced it!) in the wee hours, so this led Maglite is riding with my knives in my pocket. And cowboy coffee is just fine. Luckily I had some bean already ground up.

Which made me feel a bit guilty for grumbling about a little power outage.
If you’re the praying sort, this would be a good time...
I sure hope any of the Blade Forum Porchsters in the path of that monster storm are safe.
Like the old school coffee pot. Hopefully power is restored soon
My tree is covered with decorations my girls have made, or those that my parents have sent them with their names on them, and a few I made as a kid. Now that my oldest daughter has her own house, I hope she doesn’t want to take the ones she made. My tree would be pretty empty if she did!!!

Jeff love that sodbuster. The older and more used it gets the better it looks.
 
Dug this out of a ammo box that I kept some old turkey calls and hunting gadgets in in the shop last night. I'd forgotten I had it. Think I'll go through some storage boxes in the shop over the next week or so. Who knows what'll turn up?

As usual, I'm a geezer living in the past, this time commenting on some posts from last weekend.

...
These today~ Case XX 2138, and GEC 541217.
Have a stupendous Saturday!View attachment 1694907View attachment 1694908...
Nice pair of knives, Jeff, with an impressive total of blade inches! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
You need to "correct" the tang stamp on your big Case Sodbuster by changing the "2" to a "5" to reflect the handle improvement! 🤓

I like sowbellies, including your crimson peach seed bone model! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: And I'm pretending that the flora on your Christmas knife is mistletoe, not holly, since I really don't know the difference between the two plants and it's so APT to have kissing cranes with mistletoe! 😁

I hear ya Jeff, I just got settled in next to a nice fire this morning when my mother-n-law called me over to put up her Christmas decorations. Luckily all the lights worked. 😊
Had this Small Texas Jack in my pocket.View attachment 1694995
Your small Texas Jack makes a BIG impression, Todd! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

These are roughly the same size, so it makes no sense for me to carry them together, but here we are.

I like to think I'm a pretty sensible guy who follows the dictates of reason, but when it comes to my knife life, logic is pretty much out the door! o_O ;)

Toting this stag covered 5 bladed stockman today. :)

All are Good Dogs! 🤓 :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Just walk away Remi 😊
...

love this song in case you didn't get the reference.
...
I got the reference, and I also really like that song, although overall I'll go with The Temptations over the Four Tops. :cool::cool::thumbsup:

That's a pretty unique knife Gary :cool: :thumbsup:
Always thought that was unique and cool. 🤠 :thumbsup:
Jack & John, I couldn't agree with you more! :) I'm so fortunate that Jeff offered me that "historic" knife! :thumbsup::cool::cool:

Queen #10 and a Camillus #68

Outstanding matching bone on that pair, Steve!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

I Iike those Case pen knives, especially in yellow. Nice and slim. 👍
You're right, Bart. :) And I like the size of this model much better than Case's other pen knife, which is barely over 2.5" (and has square bolsters, that don't grab me).

Made SOS using a leftover hamburger patty, and I’m proud to say the dish lived up to its name…
I like the Morse code! 🤓 I'll admit that meal is not very visually appealing, but I actually like it. I'll go on record as enjoying liver and onions, and shepherd's pie too, a couple of other meals whose reputation is not very good.

Happy Sunday All... Go Hawks!
My Usual Lamb and a Case Bone Stag Medium Stockman.
...
Splendid pair, John! :cool::thumbsup::cool:
I should get an example of a Case knife with bonestag handles, and a medium stockman would be a good pattern (except I sure wish Case didn't make it with the sheepsfoot riding so high that the tip is above the liners).

recent aquisition that sender decided to polish :(
Shrade walden 176 no half stop but good walk and talkView attachment 1695564
Congrats on the new-to-you knife; looks like a useful one! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:

This is what happens when you let your kids help pick out a tree when they know they won’t be home to help decorate it. Lesson learned! 🤣 (That’s an 8’ step ladder)View attachment 1695598

My Lambsfoot and new 71 WILL be around to help if needed. 😉👍View attachment 1695599
That's a BIG tree and an industrial-strength tree stand, Todd!! 😲 :thumbsup: 🤓

Went out today and cut the Christmas tree
...
Used the saw to trim a few branches
...
and reamed out some space for the spike in the base
...
Your red Old Cross Farmer is a gem that's earning its keep! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Same here Harry. I have a soft spot for the pattern because it’s one of the first knives I remember owning as a kid. I also have memories of my grandmother’s fishing knife, which she left to me when she passed 45 years ago. You can still read her note on the box. 😊View attachment 1695896
Sensational "heritage" knife, Todd! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Legendary slicer today.

Wow! Do you have one of those complete sets, Dave? Every time I use an Opinel, I wonder why I'm messing around with all kinds of other knives. :cool::cool::thumbsup:

A very special Lambsfoot, GT. 🤠 :thumbsup:
Your girls certainly did you proud Gary :) :thumbsup:
You write the truth, John & Jack! :)
