What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

It's ridiculous I tell ya - just ridiculous. Five days ago it was in the 90s and this morning on the back porch, it was 36º . We're in for it today!! We're taking the dogs to the Vet for their shots and to get their toe nails clipped. Gotta take em both as one won't stay while the other is gone. It calls for a stout knife to accompany us so I've selected this Scout a gift from John JohnDF JohnDF . I don't know what will or would happen that would require a knife but at least I'll have a good one on me.Eggs up and sausage for breakfast. I've been watching the services for Queen Elizabeth. Being Navy, I particularly liked the Sailors pulling the Caison with the Queen's casket.

I found it fascinating that each of the Queens pallbearers had to share one physical attribute …they all had to be the same height. Best to keep the 500ib casket on an even keel.
 
Last night while watching the Cardinals get shut out, I switched to this green bone #47, and put a screaming edge on all three blades.
I guess even boredom has its purposes.

Good looking stockman Jeff. Really like the shield on that one. 😎👍
Nice knife Mike, cool perspective. 😎👍
In my opinion James, that’s the Belle of the Ball for 44s. 😎👍
56 Dogleg … would really like to see GEC offer clip point mains in more of their current offerings …

Gorgeous, and I would agree with you about the clips. 😎👍

Thank you very much. It's definitely my fave, but then again, it's the only 44 I have. 🤣 Congrats on the Bucs!!! Their defense was INCREDIBLE!!! 👍
 
Absolutely gorgeous, Paul — is that the Antique Yellow? Would love to find a clip version one of these days. 🙂
Thanks! Antique Yellow is correct!
I hear you, I am a more of a clip / wharnie guy than a spear guy …
Other mid-sized patterns of theirs seem to have followed the same evolution …
The 85 Bullet End Jack started in 2011 as a spearpoint, then late 2012 they released a number of different handle materials with clip points … after that it went back to the spearpoint and was never released with a clip again (that I am aware of).
If you want to see a real beauty along the same lines as the 56, I believe JohnDF JohnDF has a 55 Houndstooth with a Wharncliffe blade …
just gorgeous! 😍
