What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

The English eat weird stuff... like it's still war rationing.

Wow.

Now I get the picture - I could see the fries but no burger, never heard of eating the bun without the burger, but its fish!

a security guard told me that access is now only permitted to those paying an admission charge! That's sad... they probably pay more for the security guard than they get from admissions.

I've had this Lansky sharpening system since it first came out in the mid to late 70's. These are all diamond hones with a ceramic finish hone. I've yet to come across a traditional knife that Lansky won't or couldn't sharpen. The pen blades on smaller knives can be tricky though. Setup of the...

Thanks Jack it was delicious! With British Isles as the lion share of my family heritage celebrating Yorkshire Day is my pleasure. Thank you for introducing me to it, Lambfoot Cutlery, and Chip Butty. :) It certainly looked it :) Good luck James, and please let me know if I can ever send you...

Another rainy day here in North Florida. Happy Yorkshire Day everyone!

Hope you all had a happy Yorkshire Day. Our first foray into the chip butty was a success, no doubt - steak fries, sourdough bread, a little too much butter, and A1 as our brown sauce. As my wife said, "it's carbs on carbs - of course it's delicious." All washed down with Yorkshire's own...

I am a complete sucker for the Sowbelly. This one is called a Rabbit Knife because of the skinning blade, but it has a Sowbelly handle. I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain that Tony Bose created the Rabbit Knife. I know he skinned many rabbits using ones he made. This knife was made by John Lloyd using Tony’s pattern and some very nice burlap micarta

It may not be for everyone, but I like it! Thanks Jon Jon0385 for a great deal and the cool helmet!

Case Zippo Trapper Natural Curly Maple

The Zippo copperhead is a nice knife. I stopped at the big mountain knife store thanksgiving week while traveling and the Zippo knife counter was crowded, I was in a hurry and couldn't wait long enough to get close enough to take a gander at the Zippo knives in there.
The whiskey & tobacco candle is interesting, I'm guessing it smells just like my breath after a couple days in deer camp with buddies.

Happy Thursday Everybody

Cool Spider-Man ornament John. Your White Owl looks terrific. The 68 definitely snuck up on me!

Raging Tiger coffee from Iron Bean...so good I grind the beans a cup at a time rather than a bag at a time.

Great knife Jeremy, and I love a great cup of coffee too! ️

At the risk of sounding too cynical, someone might have been intending to re-stamp them with a more rare/valuable name.

It's a double Boker day for me:

You inspired me to join you in a double Boker day!

Those are cool little Boker lockbacks Rachel and Gary. I’ve been looking at those and thinking about maybe picking one up. How do you like yours?

View attachment 1703006

Love that ornament Mike! Seeing your copperhead reminds me that I need to get mine out to play.

This is a repost from another part of the forum I posted in…

High winds and no power again. Supposed to drop below freezing tonight and for the posted future, so fingers crossed they fix the power soon. Thank goodness for hydro workers!

It’s so windy the trees aren’t even sure what to do…they are just spinning in very wide circles. I’m sure my trails are an absolute mess.

I’m thankful for deciding to fell a mature, double trunked tree that was 20ft from our home this spring. The doves weren’t happy, but it is peace of mind for me now.

Hope everyone’s day is brighter than mine!
Things could be worse…what weird weather for mid-December here.

Wind is ramping up it’s speed even as I repost this. Gonna have to change my plans for the day and keep an eye on the weather.

Hope all goes well for you. Bad weather reminds us how vulnerable we really are. Stay safe.

I agree Jim. I picked up my first this year and was also fortunate enough to help another forum member get their first as well.

I can vouch for that!

When you’re posting a knife like that, no words are necessary, beautiful my friend

I've had three of them. The others were not damascus, one had stag slabs, the other wood. I gave them to my sons as gifts. All of them have been great little knives.

A friend threw it in as an extra on a recent trade, and today is the first time I've carried it. It's different than what I usually go for but it's growing on me. Sturdy like a tiny tank.

Just for fun, here's another pic, when the neighbor's cat decided to visit during morning photo time. (yes, he has his own water bowl in my yard, because otherwise he goes up on the porch to get at my cat's bowl and there's drama.

Thanks Todd. The weird Thursday game made me switch the signal jack to today.
I hope you like the knife and that the helmet will fit your Bucs collection

Went on a hike along the 1871 trail and rewarded myself with some huli huli chicken and beef brisket purchased from the side of the road on the way home.

Farm & Field ... nothing fancy and honestly I spent more time taking and posting the picture than anyone will spend looking at it ... that's okay
But back in the day when I first noticed GEC and what they were up to, this knife was a grail knife for me
It reminded me of the beloved black handled Case Sod Buster Jr in CV steel I constantly carried back in the 70's ... only much MUCH better quality and proportions
For me, the Bull Nose (not Bulls Nose please) is a joy to carry and use and my own collection wouldn't be complete without one

Great post. And I agree when I first got into GECs I had to have one. Had a sweet user natural canvas micarta for a long time. I think I bought it new for like $55?

But, I just got a new one from the most recent run. In red linen micarta and it’s fantastic! TexasTomcat actually gifted it to me and it’s gonna make a great Christmas carry!

Absolutely do and the helmet will look great in my Bucs collection.

Thanks Todd I do like the copperheads. My Mom gave me that ornament many years ago. Probably back when I rode a Harley. It was stored away and I just rediscovered it. Merry Christmas to me!

Wow.

Jack Black knows I'm just poking fun at him.

Super cool helmet and wonderful gift.

Beautiful #71... they are great knives.

Sowbelly stockman of the Week is a Case CV chestnut jigged bone model, a surprise Christmas gift 7 years ago from the late Ron Half/Stop :


"Regular" Stockman of the Week is really not all that regular. It's another Case stockman, and another gift (thanks, Mike), this one a humpback stockman in pocket-worn Harvest Orange bone with a spearpoint main blade instead of the usual stockman clip. Splendid knife!!

Super cool and very pretty Stockman, GT.

Super cool and very pretty Stockman, GT.

Thanks, John.
I typically use almost all of my knives, but so far I've used neither of the gorgeous stockman patterns I posted tonight.
Maybe 2022 should be the Year of Using the UnUsed!
