What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Modoc ED]

They brought the refrigerator yesterday and are bringing the stove and mattress today. I'll be carrying the Bayou Trapper in it's sheath and a Case Sowbely again. Here's a "glam" shot of the Bayou Trapper. I haven't had occasion to use it on fruit or beef, pork, lamb, chicken, whatever, so the blades are still pretty new looking. I'll have to remedy that soon.

How was the action on yours out of the box? I picked this knife up last week, and there was absolutely no walk n talk. I had to push it closed from the half-stop. I got some oil in there and worked it out - got better but I was pretty surprised with the (lack of) action out of the box.

Such a nice looking knife though. And that blade is the bee’s knee’s. I’m keeping it - just curious if mine was an anomaly or if you had the same impression.

This one had the best action right out of the box of almost any Boker Barlow I’ve gotten. I’ll flush and oil it like I always do but it doesn’t really need it. That said, my experience is like yours. Typically they are pretty gritty out of the box, although I’ve never had to force one closed. I flush, oil, and work them just a bit and then I set them down. The next day they are very snappy and within a few days they are buttery smooth. Glad it improved for you.

Very nice Jeremy.

Whatever it's called, Vince, I can't imagine very many nicer patterns, can you?

It's growing on me [ignoring the pun!]. Still prefer the trapper, but the canoe is a good size, very slim, with two classic blades. Love the CV steel. And the etch!

I get it - it punches you in the face with the “today is gonna be terrible” To then come back and say why’d you try so hard?

Whittler Wednesday?

Was going to use the front page of today’s paper as usual but it is just too saddening.

Stunning pair Dwight

That double patina action is very satisfying. Both blades are great to use. The lambsfoot might be a little more comfortable when slicing my apples because of the reverse grip I hold my knife in but that clip point is very slicey. I’ll eventually put a 17 degree edge on both blades and it’ll become even more slicey

If I wear the new glasses all the time,I might not need the magnifier.

Thank you, Jack.

Great selection, Jer... Definitely something I'd pick for myself.
