What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JJ Cahill]

That looks superbly crafted JJ, great to see it again

Thank you kindly Jack!!! It's certainly a unique beast.

Rosewood Lambsfoot and a Vic Farmer

You're definitely well covered with those great slicers, a lot of utility and good looks to boot; that shooting stick looks like an awesome accessory for a day out, too!

I've been toting bone and metal for my mad Monday.

B4*ANY
Cleaning and preservation on this Frederick Ward & Co Sheffield Dagger from the last quarter, 1800's
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

How well does it carry, and is it a practical cutter ?

I went with the lone fixed blade at work today.

And switched to my mustang when I got home.

Nice Jon.

Thanks Todd. Your bokers look amazing

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

Wait for it… wait for it…”All Hail the Hotdog!”

Thanks John, your carry today was really nice also, but that seat needs a shout out. Go Cards!

How well does it carry, and is it a practical cutter ?

The thin profile is very light for the size and virtually disappears in shirt pockets, socks or inside jacket pockets.
I'm still slowly working on a good edge on the well tempered steel, while realizing the intended use was never as a slicer / cutter ... but maybe I'm getting there.
EDIT: The full tang is tapered, which makes it very well balanced

Monday evening news @ 8 brought to you by Northwoods Presidential ...

Doves are Mourning ... but I'm not sure what ...

House Finch nest discovered in the rafters. Mama flew just before the evidentiary picture. BOLO ...

Mocking Bird off the nest over in the Jasmine vines and trying to look casual without drawing attention ...

This one has been hogging the pocket lately. It’s gonna be a sweet user, I’m just enjoying it in its shiny state. I’m thinking some limes this weekend with beers to test it out.

Looks like a nice day at the skate park.

We headed out early before it got hot and it was a lot of fun.

Sorry, multiple photo dump Monday.

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.

Is there a chance it wasn’t white when it got dropped? I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I’m carrying my Rough Ryder barlow again. The action is getting a little more crisp which I appreciate.

Beautiful pair Ed, really nice photo.

Looking good Bart, I need to start carrying mine more too. Looks like you have a nice patina beginning.

I love all my traditional’s, but I enjoy using them one at a time, anywhere from a few days to weeks, but they’re each unique knives that I enjoy

Thanks a lot JJ, I'm afraid I can only ASPIRE to a shooting stick currently, I suspect they're something the servants carry!

I've been toting bone and metal for my mad Monday.

Those two pair very nicely together my friend, two very handsome knives
