What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I like S30V steel well enough, but the geometry of the blade on the Proper means that it isn't a great slicer. Benchmade really missed the mark by not making this a full flat grind. I can think of five or six other things that just aren't quite right on this knife. In spite of all that, I carry it reasonably regularly, because I love how it looks, and I love how rough-finished canvas micarta feels.

I can nitpick a couple of very minor things on the 97, but honestly GEC got this as close to perfect (for me, at least) as you can get in a production knife. I carry it almost all the time. (And it's a great slicer.)

After further research I think the handles on the Joker knife are the same as the Pallarès Solsana knives which are resin.

It was all happening, today non stop excitement 😇

Sun was out so forced myself to go out on my E bike for exercise (feeling cold and lazy),the sun went straight back in again as soon as I left my house 😁

As you can see I took old faithful with me.

Went past this ancient flooded meadow where us commoners/serfs are allowed to graze our animals for free,I saw some of the horses where back making the most of it.

30 years ago I had a photo of windsurfers in the local newspaper at the very same spot when it had flooded even deeper.

My coffee when I stopped was served by the son of Nick Kamen who knew some musicians I knew as well (he told me he's a musician starting of).

I told an old lady I liked her hat and had a 5 minute conversation as she told me all about it,I think it made her day (its not always the big things). 😍

Came across this interesting boat on the river,some kind of emergency recue boat must be very hard to capsize it.


























I fell asleep exhausted in my chair when I got home,I woke up couldn't remember where I was or the time 🤣

Prepped some extra vegetables to add to my spaghetti Bolognese sauce using my original 01 Sodbuster,theres few knifes better to use than this one.

The spatula I bought in NZ from a local knife maker from indigenous wood,he made fixed blades or I would have bought one (worried about taking on the aircraft).

Looks like the lifeboat off a cruise ship. Tough little boat.
