What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Johnnythefox]

I was toting these two today.

The Boker was a Christmas present. It’s meant to look like a brook trout; and I think they did a pretty good job.

You know those roundels have history?

On some night flying aircraft, especially heavy bombers, 1918–1919. (Known at this time as the "night roundel"). On all surfaces of NIVO-coloured night bombers from 1923 until NIVO phased out; Used on camouflaged aircraft in all positions from Summer 1938 until superseded by Type A.1 roundels. Used on upper surfaces of many aircraft until 1947. On fuselage sides and upper wings of overall PRU Blue photo-reconnaissance aircraft 1940–1944 (e.g.hoto-reconnaissance Spitfires) and aircraft with "High altitude" camouflage (e.g.: de Havilland Hornet) 1944–1947.[3][5]

[JW225]

Carrying my Hartshead Barlow again, and an Ulster Scout (gifted to me by @paulhilborn ) for Random Tuesday

That Scout knife is fantastic -- love the photo, as well. (And the Hartshead Barlow ain't too shabby either... )

I have these today~ Case TB61028 and #43 Oregon Trapper.View attachment 1714515

Nice. I think the 43 Oregon Trapper may be my GEC fave -- love the general proportions and blade shape.

Could not agree more, on both accounts.

Good Morning Porch Friends
I'm starting back to work (teaching) today.
It was a very relaxing ad enjoyable two weeks off.

My Usual Lamb...


And Flipper Bait... a day late I'm afraid.

Good luck John, looks like it’s off to a great start.

Good luck John...and it's never too late for the flipper bait, Micarta Monday be damned.

New (to me) knife day, thanks Todd.

You’re very welcome, it looks great in its new home.

I wouldn’t be upset if they did those covers again

Me either, I really like it.

Classy picture of a rustic knife, very nice Jim.

Case 6347 Amber bone stockman today....

A Hammer brand Cattle Knife from the 1930s. It has many years of use left in it. I'm surprised at how easy it was to get it very sharp compared to modern vintage slipjoints. Whatever the steel/heat treatment combination was, the edge stability is superb.

Here is the best I can do for a pic with my flip phone:

Here are better pics from the seller:

Virtual?
My virtual finals ran into 7:30 at night.

Okay, that Brook Trout knife is totally awesome!
It took every ounce of will power to not go order one for myself.

Great picture of your HHB, Jack... Hope you are having a good day.

That's an excellent picture.

Tortoise Tuesday? Is that a thing? It should be!

Yep. I've been teaching online this entire academic year, and one of my classes is a small group of international students to whom I teach pre-algebra from 9:00 - 10:15 p.m. my time (they are actually 13 hours ahead during this phase of the time change; 12 when we go back to sane time).

 

[JOELSM]

This GEC made Remington will reside in pocket for two blade Tuesday.

 

[black mamba]

I grabbed this one off the dresser this morning.

UGH! When you have to lecture on a regular schedule remotely, you lose the benefits of ansynchronous, all online courses. I do not envy you. I hope your cool traditionals help ease the pain!

I switched to all online back in 2013 and I'll never, ever return to a classroom and scheduled meeting times, whether it's in person or remote.

I grabbed this one off the dresser this morning.

That's a beauty! Was it made by Camillus for Sears? It looks Camillus-y.

 

[Hibou Canne]

Still carrying my 62. I love maroon micarta, i wish GEC would use it more often instead of OD green.

Clips and long pulls today.

Back to the grind. I only took off a few days and it’s still tough getting back into it. Looks like you’re trying out a new background for 2022. I like it.

This is the knife I'll be packing today. It is currently in my mailbox (delivered to the mailbox yesterday afternoon and I just didn't feel like driving up and getting it) but I'll pick it up, unwrap it, and pocket it on the way to town for our Tuesday routine of mailing bills, chowing down at the Wagon Wheel Cafe, and picking up a few groceries at the Holiday Market and Four Corners grocery store.

Great jigging on that one, Ed.

I was not aware of that. It’s interesting on the planes it was a means of “sticking out”, while on the fish I would assume they help blend in.
