What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JohnDF]

Went out for a little hiking and fishing this morning...


But it was still a little cold in the mountains, the fish were not active...


But it was still amazing to get up in the fresh air, stretch the legs, and enjoy the outdoors...

Headed 30 miles west for a Booster shot (not as easy to come by as one would hope).

Wow. I got mine at my supermarket pharmacy just a few days after the second booster was permitted.
I went with Moderna this time to throw the cooties a curve ball. My first three shots were all Pfizer.

Mercifully, I own no syringes.

I'm just amazed at the greenery!

I'm just amazed at the greenery!

It's been like Spring around my house.
Figured it must be time to go fishing for sure.
I was pretty shocked to find it so cold up there.
But ya, everything was green and beautiful... quiet too.

…stay tuned, nothing yet. Maybe this sweet trapper will bring them out. View attachment 1791127

Sweet trapper, Todd.

Two for Tuesday. Headed 30 miles west for a Booster shot (not as easy to come by as one would hope). Our reward is a late lunch at a favorite restaurant.
Nice sunny day here!

Carrying two great knives is just and added bonus, Gary.

If the patina is any indicator, this 92 is my favored carry.

That 92 is beautiful.

A bad day of fishing beats the heck out of ANY day at work, though, doesn't it John?

I've still got the '89 brown bone Buck 305 in my pocket, but decided to add the small brass Mercator to my vest pocket because I just don't carry it enough.

Nice one, Todd. Looks like the Norfolk was a gateway knife . If there’s another Case/Bose in my future I think it will be the wharncliffe trapper.

Looks like a nice spot, John. It had been warmer up here, but this morning was particularly chilly. I checked my phone while we were eating breakfast and it was only 18 degrees.

Thrifty Tue Blade Tuesday...

It sure does, Jeremy.

Fantastic pair, my friend.

I think your Peanut is having an identity crisis.

Looks like a nice spot, John.

It really is, and it's only 20 minutes from my house.
The fishing is never great there, but on a good day you can land a half dozen little guys.

Ya, it certainly did get cold again.
Supposed to be some more weather moving in later this week... hoping for more rain and snow.

This pair again today.

This is the last #36 I have left in my collection and it’s been sitting on my desk since last night with the tube nearby. I’m still unsure I want to keep it and will take my time to decide but what I can say is this is one of the most well made GEC’s I currently own. Completely flush at half stop. Just an extremely well made knife and the NACB is definitely my favorite of the run. Maybe if I start using it it’ll earn a forever stay Time will tell.

Looks like an idyllic spot, John! Catching something is just icing on the cake!
I'm going to try and get on the stream tomorrow, although it looks like it might rain.

Thanks! It made the shot hurt less!
Lunch was good though!

Ah yes, the "smorgasbord knife" is what I like to call that one.
