What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Ruhiger Sturm]

Tossed the single sowbelly in my pocket today. I’ve used this one a good bit but the cv doesn’t seem to stain for some reason.

Depends on what you cut with it. I've got a cv mini copperlock that I've carried and used quite a bit. I just noticed the last time I carried it that it has virtually no patina. Pondering this I realized that I hadn't used it to cut anything edible or vegetative. Nor had it been wet much. It's been used to cut string/rope/tarps/cardboard/envelopes, etc., etc.

I've never "forced" a patina, but if you want it to patina, cut up a couple of apples and a tomato or two.

One of my old short line 23 jacks. Big and sturdy, and not elegant, pretty, or light, but a favorite.View attachment 1819879View attachment 1819880View attachment 1819881I found a knife yesterday! Last fall, I made some new beds for my garden. Can’t eat grass, you know! No sod sripping, plowing, or tilling ~ I put down cardboard to smother the sod, and buried it with a thick layer of manure and compost, then fall planted a cover crop, which I chopped up and turned in this spring. Planting my tomatoes, using a trowel to make a hole for each one, I turned up this Official Bot Scout knife. It had apparently been dropped into the grass, and was in the process of enriching the mineral content of the soil. I never had a white scout knife, and my wife and I do not remeber either of the boys having one either. If it belonged to the previous owner, it would have to have been there at least 35 years.
Hit it with a wire brush, sprayed it down with penetrating oil, and it’s now bathing in kerosene in a refired beans can I dug out of the recycling bin.

That's a "different" looking Case Sowbelly.
Might just be the camera angle, but it looks slimmer, and you don't see many plain oval shields on them.

This is a nice summery knife:

Beautiful day, too.

Action shot!
Ok, not really. I couldn't figure out how to hold the knife, the string, and the camera phone. I imagine there's a tripod phone holder thingy available (if there's not, there should be).
So, it's a stop action action shot with only one shot

Purchased from a seller in Southern California. Don't know the history of this particular knife but can see it at a card table or two maybe dunno

You've got Micarta covered with those two beauties.

Thanks John, really enjoying them.

Thanks Todd. The half whittler did everything I asked it to last week, but I’m thankful to be back home with more options.

Great pair you have with you today.

The only thing better than a Hotdog Shield, is TWO Hotdog Shields.
