What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Sharp & Fiery]

Yes indeed, and I wish the same for you and yours, John!
We spent Christmas Eve with my wife’s family, Christmas Day at home, and yesterday down with my family. At least in both cases, those who could make it! There are nine out in Colorado, two in Louisiana, four stationed at Ft Campbell, another nephew off somewhere else with the US Army and five in Virginia who were all here for Thanksgiving, so they weren’t here. Then there was the Iowa State Trooper who was stuck working both holidays, and the three granddaughters in Georgia who we vacationed with this fall. Oh yeah~ there was a brother in law who didn’t feel well because of reactions to the strict dietary protocol their doctor is using to fight Lyme’s disease, and two nieces who are very close to their due dates, so they stayed home.
Other than that we were all together!

I wanted to carry this trapper with the serrated blade at least until I carved yesterday’s turkey. I was pleased with how that blade slipped into the joints and easily separated the cartilage. The Craftsman folding hunter performed perfectly as well.
I am sure many of you understand why I would bring my own knives to help cook at my Mom’s and Mother In Law’s. Even if one of us puts an edge on their knives for them, they are still going to cram them into the dishwasher, banging the edges into spoons and forks almost instantly rendering them as dull as butter knives.

I never saw it coming, but I got kind of fond of the Case. Voos rides along too.View attachment 1709636
I like this shirt I found at a secondhand store for $5. It has this cool little zippered pocket down by the left hem that is just perfect for a bottleneck slide.View attachment 1709637Hey! I turned 65 today, so it’s a good time to thank you all for putting up with me and my old users for another year!

Happy Birthday!!

Oil Sucker 18 I received as a gift for Christmas. Love these little Beagles

Nice one. Oil Sucker rod wood has the perfect back story for a Titusville made knife. I’ve been carrying my larger knives lately. I’m going to have to get back to carrying my smaller knives in the watch pocket.

I made this belt sheath recently. I made a few mistakes along the way, but overall I’m happy with it.

Happy birthday Jeff. Your "old users" remind me that for every "next great thing" released, there is an equally nice and well loved knife out there that exists that I was likely unaware of.

Before patina.

I hope you’re enjoying your ski trip, Todd.

Thanks Bart, enjoying the bars and restaurants so far, kinda wet and sloppy for skiing. There are a few inches of snow and colder temps for tomorrow and Wednesday so things are looking up.

I turned 65 today, so it’s a good time to thank you all for putting up with me and my old users for another year!

Happy Birthday Jeff! I’m already looking forward to reports from “The Godfather of Gardening.”

I’ll be carrying this one today.

Looks great from here. I’m hoping to get started on some leather work soon, too.

Happy birthday, Jeff. I enjoy “putting up” with you and your users on here.

 

[TheFactor]

Wow, that’s electric - handles give the patterns a totally different look. OH

I couldn’t agree more OH .
With the sod buster JR the handle is actually a little thicker then other cover materials I have on that pattern. It feels even better in hand for me to.

 

[JohnDF]

Super pretty Canoe Whittler.

Have fun at the coast , John. It should be great no matter the weather.

Thanks, Bart... we will have fun no matter the weather.

Yes indeed, and I wish the same for you and yours, John!

Thank you, Jeff.

Hey! I turned 65 today,

Happy Birthday, young man.

Great job. Love it!

Good choice, Todd... Hope you find some snow.

Have Fun !!

It's looking better and better... the etch is wearing away.

Cool carry Jon, nice win for the Chiefs yesterday!

How do you like the 01 steel?

I agree Mike. I like 01 steel. I have a few others with it, and all seem to take and hold a nice edge even though I’m not the best sharpener. For the post part this one pulls light duty anyway.
