What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Today I started the process of cleaning and (non-invasively) restoring my $12 Robeson special. 3 5/8", pseudo-whittler spring setup, and nice strong snaps.

It was high time the Tidioute #53 was back in the pocket.

I've finally achieved the edge I wanted with this knife. This being my first experience with GEC and its 1095, I wanted to develop a 'feel' for it over a few sharpenings, rather than set to completely re-profiling the edge to something more familiar.

Beautiful bone on that Robeson Steve!

I have these four packed in a case (no pun intended) for the purpose of some hometown photography when I visit family in Indiana later this week.

But honestly, the peanut in my pocket will probably get the most use.

Awesome edc

Stich everytime I see that Courthouse Whittler I kick myself for not picking one up, just like yours a year or so ago when I had the chance to. Beautiful knife.

I got my virgin Peanut and my small toolkit with me. Also carry my Lee Oskar in my left front pocket. You never know when you meet someone to play music with.
