What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I put the Coffin Jack in my pocket today, alongside the Cowbell that never left. 😁

That cowbell looks great. Especially as it develops some patina 👍
 
That is quite a unique version of the Electrician/Linesman’s knife! I accumulated a lot of the variants and makes, but never got one of those. I remember thinking that they look reminiscent of Imperial or Colonial knives, and looked up what i could find.
The Electric Mate was made by Providence Cutlery Co. for Ric Nor, an electrical supply house out east.
That’s based on my memory, so don’t hold me to it!
Cool knife, nonetheless.

As part of putting together my new rotation schedule, I want to identify my top 10 knives in each of the categories that will be included in the schedule (e.g., stockmans, work knives, canoes, international knives, Case knives, etc.). So this week I've identified my top ten canoes and am carrying them. I challenge you to try something like this. Naming my 3 favorite knives overall is almost impossible for me, but I found that if I limit myself to a specific category like canoes, I can quite easily choose a top 5 (although ranking those 5 would be much tougher). Moving to a top 10 is a lot harder, and I suspect my second 5 might change a bit each time I tried it.

Anyway, this week I'll be carrying and posting 10 of my favorite canoes. Here are 2 of them.

I think of all of your Canoes, this Mohawk is far and away my favorite. 👏

Sorry, though. Rotation schedules are contrary to my haphazard and impulsive personality!

Left brain/right brain kind of thing? \_🤥_/
