What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JohnDF]

I like that whittler. You’re building up a nice little stash of ‘70s Cases

Thank you, my fiend.
I've got five Case knives from the 70's.

Well said.

Thank you, Dave.

Thanks, Dave. Yes, I made the slide. A couple of winters ago, I spent quite a few hours figuring out how to cut and polish them out of wine bottle necks. My wife worked at a country club at the time, and brought me hundreds of bottles. Sold a few, gave more away, and since I rarely drop and break one, I doubt I’ll ever run out.

Very cool, a true craftsman.

Thank you. Luckily it hasn’t been any worse than a regular cold. I hope those around you stay healthy as well.

Very happy to hear that and thanks.

Many thanks, Dave! I'm a big fan of the 78, as well.

A Wright Lambsfoot for the annual pruning of my plum, peach, apricot, fig, and mulberry trees and grape vines.
I have pruners and loppers from Corona, Felco, ARS, Bahco, Hickock, and Okatsune. My favorite is ARS, followed by Bahco. The Okatsune is a great cutter and would be my favorite if it had better handles.

After 2.5 hours of pruning and cutting things down to fit in the yard waste bin

I have fruit ready now in the form of my ponderosa lemons

In about a month I will start eating my tangelos

One of my three orange trees (all are valencia, which have much better flavor than navel). I won't start eating these until May, after which I will have an orange every day through October

Very impressive trees, you've been busy , a noble endeaver, and a great looking lambsfoot

Thanks Dave!!! Wonderful image of your Harness Jack today, such a cool pattern!

yw, and Thanks JJ!

Toting Calf Roper and a Harness Jack which I grabbed after spotting Dave's beauty ( dave308ek .)

Love that 54!!! Carrying my 66 stag yesterday and today, you're looks great

Hope everyone's enjoying their weekends.

Eureka Jack yet again.

Amazing looking photo and EJ!

Happy Sunday!
Totin my personal favorite among the few BF knives I have. And a sort of rare Wenger, the Lumberjack.View attachment 1717775View attachment 1717776Have a fine day, and remember to oil the joints!

Great shot of the 2018 BFK, I gave one of mine to my brother and he loves it. Cool SAK

#97 and #68 today

So that's where all the great GEC stag went. Nice one, and so's the 68.


66 Calf Roper I carried yesterday (too busy to post in Stag Saturday thread) and today.

Thanks a lot, Dave!!! The stag covers on your 66 are awesome; one of my favorite pattens!

 

[Sacto]

I carried my Alox SAK this morning and swapped it out for the swayback jack later in the day.

Monday carry on deck

Thanks! You know how it is; the luck of the draw with stag. That #66 you posted looks pretty nice too!

Any thoughts on the knife? How do you like the mysterious ”stainless steel”?

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Got into a Rockfish run on the river Thursday, heading up to see if they are still there. Ramrod 98OT in my pocket. OH

Ooh, nice striper!
Never caught one, but I hear they’re quite the bruisers on lighter tackle.
We used to sneak up on their smaller cousins, white bass. When the shad were running, the white bass fishing was so fun.

Today it's an Imperial boy's knife (in watch pocket). As they say on Forged in Fire: "It will cut".



Actually, I have a box of them.


I've made 70 years of collections of knives no one else wanted

I often think that’s the only reason I’ve been able to get some multiples of certain patterns I like. No competition.
I think Imperial used great steel in their blades and springs.

Very cool, a true craftsman.

Very happy to hear that and thanks.

Thank you for the kind words, Dave.
I imagine your brother was thrilled.
Never handled a GEC 66, but it sure is a looker!

 

[Tyson A Wright]

Great knife and one of the greatest artists of all time there.

Basically the combination I've carried all week (different version of the Böker, but same concept). They go well together.

[Jack Black]

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!

You have both a Happy Double Lambsfoot Day and a pair of absolutely marvelous slicers, both with beautiful stag covers!

Toting a Lambsfoot today.

Many thanks JJ, I hope you enjoyed carrying that attractive Sheffield Lamb my friend

I agree, thank you very much.

I carry today this old Portuguese knife MAM.

Thanks, they are a lot of fun to catch, but they are (for the most part) a C&R fish nowadays - famous for Rock Fish Stew in the past. I also caught a Bodie Bass (hybrid between a Striped Bass and a White Bass) and not normally in this river - mostly in the inland lakes - it's shorter and fatter with interrupted stripes - both good fighters. Today's carry, an Ulster 58OT. OH

I love those old Mam knives. Yours in particular looks very nice and well used.

Nice catch Bruce. Perfect pairing!

 

[JohnDF]

I can never decide if the #56s or #66s are my favorites.
Either way, your #66 is beautiful and the stag is very nice.

Beautiful picture of your Forum Barlow, and nice Double Barlow Day, Jack.

Nice looking catch Bruce.
I haven't been Striper fishing since I was a young boy.
