What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[bigfish64]

I just got these back from the VERY talented @glennbad. So I've been carrying both of them today, lol. I'm sure it won't come as a surprise to anyone, but he did an exceptional job! As one could expect from such an old material, the mammoth ivory in particular is very brittle/fragile.

This one is a Solingen made Boker barlow sporting mammoth ivory covers, integral bolsters, and damascus forged by Chad Nichols out of steel from a WW2 M4 Bradley tank! Also pictured is another BEAUTIFUL sheath by our very own sbh06 . Thanks Jeremy!

I bet you really agonized over the decision to drop the Micarta and go with Mammoth.
Outstanding!

Next is a 2017 BladeForums GEC TC Barlow with K&G stabilized redwood burl covers. I just wasn't feeling the original covers to be honest... And since 2017 was a little before I officially joined the forum, it felt a little less painful to swap the covers, lol.

Whoa, that grain is fantastic.

Hope your Monday wasn't TOO mad, but that combination looks like it could handle most things that life could throw at you A great-looking combination

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!! I did make it out the other side!

Having a Double Lambsfoot Day today Have a good day everyone

It looks like you've got a lovely "Double-Double" today; two Lambs both wearing stag is very tough act to follow!

Toting my two favorite trappers for another Tuesday.

 

[echoscout]

Thank you Jack. Your double Lambsfoot carry is ruggedly handsome.

Whittler and a Lambsfoot

Haha! Yea…. Just not a fan of polished burlap. Bead blasted burlap is another story! It didn’t help that the Micarta on mine was a bit burned at the pins.

I did get a hold of some vintage 1940s American rag Micarta that I briefly regretted not using though, lol.

Outstanding carry Jeremy.

Magnificent grain on that one!
Is that Osage Orange?

- GT

Why yes, that is Osage Orange. There were quite of few in that run of 29’s that had some killer grain. Here is the pile side of that one.

What’s the story on this Lamb? Special run that came like this? Recover? It’s stunning!

Oh yeah…and the Barlow ain’t no slouch!

 

[TylerG12]

Beautiful knife James.

Thank you sir. I love the chestnut bone on yours.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Would that be the wagon wheel in the picture or the Wagon Wheel Cafe in Alturas, CA ?

Yes.

Had to oil my chopping board, so I gave the scales a fresh oil, in my favourite lemon oil.

Jack Black SFO from 2019. Here’s what I got from him over in the Guardians thread:

What a great day! I had 20 Lambsfoot knives made with Damascus blades in 2019, with 4 different designs, so there are only 4 other knives like that one

Thanks for the compliment on the Barlow as well, I’ve really enjoyed carrying and using it since I got it from another great member here earlier this year.

Glad you found your phone.

Me too. Although I’m sad to admit how weird it felt not having it.
