What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jon0385]

Terrible news I hope all our members in the area, and their families, are safe

Same here Jack. I haven’t read any further reporting, so I’m not sure what it is looking like right now.

Oh man, I love those things

Me too! I got a crave case for the road

A silver lining.

It did soften the sting of a 5 hour round trip

I grabbed a couple simple black jacks today.

15 Friday

What makes it OK for school out of interest?

The knife has to be non-locking and the blade has to be 2-1/2" or shorter.

Tomorrow I'll be back with my normal carries.

I like how the color and speckling on the rail compliments the knife. Great composition and perspective too. And really like the Farmer Lock!

TY Buddy. IMHO the 99 is the best Farm & Field knife.

Anyone heard from @black mamba ? Prayers for him and his family as I know he is close to where the worst of Ian came ashore in Florida. Glad to hear that you weren’t affected too significantly, Jon0385 .

On a lighter note, at least happiness = expectations - reality so I guess it’s not all bad.

I haven’t heard from him. I sent him a message 2 days ago but haven’t heard back. I did see on the news that schools in Sarasota will remain closed because of damage, and there continue to be a lack of utilities availability. I’m hoping that he is ok.

I’m losing it, I thought I posted this earlier but I’m sitting around a camp fire looking at the forum and I don’t think I did…

 

[Sacto]

This is a new one for me.

Very nice

Another pair of knives that I consider among my 10 best from "Imperial/Colonial/Old Timer".
An Imperial equal-end jack that is very likely older than I am (1936-1952 tang stamp):

A Schrade + USA 93OT Wrangler (thanks for the GAW, Fausto):

- GT

That 93OT is great, Gary. Perfect blade combo.

I carried this barlow today.

I switched to the soda scout tonight. I had to try the beer I made to make sure it’s okay before I bring it to the neighborhood brewfest tomorrow.

... and a 2015 NORTHWOODS INDIAN RIVER JACK ...

Not really into time since retirement 16yrs ago but spent a little time tonight with an old hobby of mine.

I've always preferred automatic watches with analog faces and I used to try and get them into the best possible adjustment.
I'm happy with the accuracy and precision of this watch now. +2 sec/day 0.1ms beat error.
While the movement is not certified as such, it is quite well within COSC Chronometer compliance.
It is more accurate and precise than about 99% (i'm scientific like that) of the automatic watches out there.
Could it get it even more accurate and precise? ... maybe, but it's good enough for now.

Is it as accurate as a quartz watch, the clock on your cell phone, or computer? ... no sir. I have a radio controlled Casio Lineage for that when necessary.
This little watch hobby of adjustment is just as relaxing and rewarding as sharpening a knife ... to me anyway.

I many other watches that I just as seldom wear any more. This Watch ...
Tisell Pilot Watch 40mm, Type A with Diamond Crown
Sapphire Crystal with AR Coating on front and Mineral Crystal on back
Super Luminova BGW9
Auto Winding MIYOTA caliber 90S5, 24 Jewel movement
On a Hirsch Natural Rubber strap

While I used a GREAT phone app to check and adjust the watch this evening, I do have an old Mumford Micro Systems Clock and Watch Timer that I used to use.
... and NO, I do not work on other peoples watches. Even after many years (decades), I'm just a hack and not watch repair trained.

Love it simple story in three photos,nice one.

Good job.

reversed strap?

 

[BrotherJim]

Good job.

reversed strap?

Thanks Johnny !!! ... good eye by the way
The strap is indeed reversed. I prefer to wear it that way. Even turn metal bands around ... always have
... since I was old enough to learn how to change out straps and bands
