What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[315]

Starting the day off with this 15. Plan on taking the boat out this afternoon fishing once the weather clears a bit. Most likely there will be something else in my pocket for my typical precarious balancing knife photo on the edge of the boat

It may not be astonishing that we are carrying similar knives today.

Synchronicity!

Good Morning Porch Friends and Happy Friday

Old Friends, or Fancy Friday? A little of both.

Nice pairing Rachel

Wonderful choices, Todd.

Those two pair well, Todd.

Thanks gents! My collection hasn’t been very organized lately and I’ve been doing some reorganizing and re-evaluating. I need to sell some stuff and I’d kinda forgotten about the the Wharncliffe copperlock, that one will be staying.

...My collection hasn’t been very organized lately...

Don't feel bad Todd, my collection hasn't been organised for YEARS!

Thanks for sharing that. I’d never heard that song strangely because I listen to bluegrass. The girl in the first video, neat to see it looks like her hand slips there at the end and she just kept right on going.

So glad you enjoyed it. I did too and kinda went down a rabbit hole on youtube listening to some ole-time banjo and fiddle LOL
It all gets lumped together as bluegrass but technically as master banjo player and former coal miner Lee Sexton (rest in peace) explains it, the music is different from bluegrass
While Lee loved bluegrass, this music and the music he was raised on and learned, is what he and others call East Kentucky old-time traditional

The girl on banjo in the first video is Nora Brown. She studied with both Lee Sexton and master banjo player and historian George Gibson among others
The girl playing fiddle with Nora in the first video is Stephanie Coleman

Buck 704 Maverick

What's not to love, it's a slipjoint that looks like a " Buck knife ".

Usual lamb and on of my favorite Bucks.

Nice Jon, maybe that carry will help the cards.

Nice Owl, love the patina.

Always a good choice Jeremy.

Thank you buddy. The patina is starting nicely. I cut some strawberries, apples and cherries for the birds at my local animals shelter.

One thing I noticed about this AW&S Barlow I posted is that the A. WRIGHT tang stamp does not include "& SON LTD" as found on most all others from Wright that I've seen
Not sure what significance that might have on placing a date of manufacture on this Barlow but just found it interesting
I've had the knife for a while now, purchased before I joined BF, from a mom and pop knife store in Maryland
The folks there were retiring and selling off their inventory from decades in the business

EDIT: I'm not a cow worshiper, but Holy Cow !!! ... 92 out there right now and FEELS LIKE 106 !!!!

Awesome photo! The fire makes a fantastic backdrop!

Little Jack and Pony Jack today. The clip and pen combo on the pj is as handy as a pocket on a shirt——probably my most carried knife of 2022.
