What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thanks John. 😊👍
Some one say snow ?
It arrived a little late a day after Christmas lol although just in time to make my drive to work a little more challenging and I’m sure my Big Rig at work when I get out there 😳
We’ve got a few more inches over night since these pictures and a few layers of ice.

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! I look forward to another year of putting up with you and your old users. (Especially your fantastic collection of TL-29s!) Hope you have a great day.
 
Today im doing this little Case sodbuster jr. I’m still learning how to fully appreciate the synthetic covers though, since i would normally only go with bone, stag or wood. But so far i quite like it.

The edge that Case put on it when it came in the mail was absolutely horrible…It was very rough and very chipped. Fortunately, i had no problem fixing the edge at all. But i feel like a knife with an edge in such horrendous condition should of never left the factory.
