What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

A couple of my dad's old knives. The peanut was very well carried, and probably long before he had married my mom.
Have a great weekend everyone.

I really like the coloring and jigging on that trapper!

Thanks. The pic enhances the color a bit, but it's nice in person as well. My Dad gave this to me last weekend and I just finished cleaning it up and sharpening it. I've only ever seen him carry this knife for a few weeks about a year ago when he misplaced the Uncle Henry 885UH that's been in his pocket for as long as I can remember. He was so upset that he lost that knife and said he was carrying the Case just to have a knife in his pocket. I found a really nice USA 885UH on ebay to replace his missing one and the Case went back in the drawer until last weekend when he gave it to me. He ended up finding his old Uncle Henry under the chair or something and gave my ebay find back to me as well - so now I have both. The funny thing is I took a close look at his old knife and noticed that the main blade was broken off at the tip and it happened long enough ago that he doesn't even remember doing it. But he would rather carry his old, trusty, broken knife than the same model with an intact blade (or this Case Trapper).
 
It's only 11 and I've been amazingly sick, so I don't know yet for today. My Buck 444 for an unplanned six hours in ER Wednesday, and my surplus SAK for the neurologist yesterday.

I had aphasia. Not only could I not speak, I could not think. I meant to call somebody, but I didn't know what to do with the phone in my hand. I was going to drive there to tell them I wouldn't be there, but I didn't know how to open the garage. And what were those things in my pocket over and over again? (house keys). I walked over to the church, very carefully, and tried to talk to people there. Maybe two words at a time, with a long pause, and the two words didn't make any sense or take me anywhere.
So they called an ambulance.
I'm impressed how kind and calm they were.
So anyway, it wasn't a stroke, though it had us all going for a while. All she could tell me yesterday was transitory aphasia, which means I couldn't talk for a while. I'll take it.
This is how I feel today:

I have to share a medical intuition with her. I'll bet they love the way we can reach out with those e-charts.

2-Blade Knife of the Week is an anonymous jack with fake stag covers; several folks here think it might be a Colonial:

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Pallares Solsona (thanks, Tom). I like this sunny photo that's like an X-ray sowing the "bones" of the knife:

That sounds frightening. I hope they get it all figured out.
