What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I had a lovely ride today when I went to visit my father.

Stopped for coffee and a little bit of Scotland in England with Tunnocks tea cakes on the way back.

Then stopped in Wantage home to Alfred the great,dog drinks,very old,crumbling ancient bits of timber holding up houses and much more to see.






























































 
Scout and Rooster today.

To be frank, I crave a lot of things. Either I don’t really need it, or can’t afford it!
Spell check/auto fill, or twitchy fingers strikes again. 😁 Sometimes it just fits.

Congrats on your hard work. Not easy to pull that off with a full time job and supporting a family. I did not know that they had college degrees majoring in baseball memorabilia!

🤣 I definitely didn’t proof read my post.
I wish there was a degree in that, I’d have a PhD by now.

A super cool Anglo-Franco collaboration of classic cutters of your Friday friends; both the stag and ebony are marvelous covers! :cool:😁👍👍
 
This showed up in the mail today. Pallares Comun no.0 with orange resin handle. Quite like it. Very unique look, the handle is comfortable, and the blade shape is just awesome. Slightly thicker blade than my Opinel no. 6, 1.5 mm at the spine, but big broad blade and super thin at the edge. Only had a chance to strop before heading out the door but serviceably sharp.

Resin handles feel cheap, fit and finish is almost not to be found, but man the blade makes up for it. They also make this knife with wood handles but I went resin to try the pattern out for as little money as possible, don't know if they spend more time on those ones.

Only real issue is the blade contacting the handle when closed, so best not to let it snap closed, though the resin should be easy on the blade if you do. A possible downside to wood handled versions.

Love the pattern so far. Lots of charm, and maybe my new favorite blade shape.
