What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Crappie71]

This is the fruits of my labor from Saturday; I had this #77 in my pocket today. If you don’t like fried crappie, you don’t like nothin’.

I reloaded that page, blaming my fone.

Hey! Congatulations, Jim! You say “hardest earned”, was it the altitude, or terrain in getting it out, or hardest to find? Anyway, happy for your full freezer.

Jeff, the altitude was around 6400 feet so it didn’t help when a guy lives at sea level. The terrain was tough. We spotted the Elk at sunrise and spent the next 5 hours and 5 miles cross country to work within 350 yards belly crawling through the sagebrush. And my belly isn’t as small as it used to be so I had to stay extra low!!!

Went out again today, found a nice track…

No idea what fried crappie is?

But I do know I want that knife

 

[Johnnythefox]

I think this is one very underrated knife, I want it to take on battle scars.

Nikki Lauda agrees

My favourite antique shop was closed always has some interesting militaría for sale.



Very close to the end of the riding season for me.

But I have a simple mantra "when the suns out,I'm out"

 

[Jiki]

These two make a nice pair.

Totin’ a Dowell trapper today with vintage micarta handles and an etched A2 blade.

You are killing me Crappie71 ! Those fried fish look amazing!

Great combo Jim, Jiki ! Nothing better than Red Bone.

Good grief 315 ! Where did you find those tracks?!

That knife is a classic Johnnythefox ! It could not be better, and I hope you enjoy it for a long time.

Been a little absent this week. Drove 15 hours on Friday to get to Wyoming to do some hunting. Been toting a Buck 112 my daughter got me for my birthday this year. Got to put it to use yesterday on the hardest earned critter I’ve ever taken.

Congratulations on the hunt, harvest and putting the present to work

Awesome looking meal. I finished supper not long ago but would enjoy a couple of those as dessert

Many thanks for the kind words JJ, I'm glad you're enjoying the Lambsfoot pattern

Have a good week everyone

I certainly am, thanks Jack!!!
Lovely US made Lambsfoot with your super cool Sheffield Monday beauty; quite a handy combination to start the week!

 

[JJ Cahill]

I've had a metal and micarta Monday.

New smoker came today
That’s good, because we’re hosting Thanksgiving, and I like to smoke my turkey.

With that in mind, I picked up a few hickory nuts to plant. The plan is to let them grow for 125 to 150 years, and cut them up into chunks for my new smoker
While picking them up, I noticed this ant trying to figure out how to get this mushroom back to his nest.

 

[Old Engineer]

Carried a couple of my work knives today but did not get a picture of them together so I will post some older photos of each

This one currently has more patina

This one, at least until it's time to head to the airport. If anyone in the Seattle area (I'm staying in Bremerton) wants to get a beer one night this week let me know.

Enjoy yer trip!

 

[JonMcD]

Forgot to post these two today…

I've tried a bit of everything over the years, and my favorite wood for smoking is apple, with hickory running a close second. Apple gives meat a smokey/sweet flavor.

Good grief 315 ! Where did you find those tracks?!

We were checking a little valley today for elk and had to cross a small creek about 60 yards from where we parked the truck. My buddy has had Grizzly encounters within a few miles of this area before. Don’t think my stockman would’ve helped much, but maybe would’ve been painful for the bear when he passed it after eating me
