What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[calemerson]

Old case yellow synthetic, had it since I was a kid. Dude at school had 1 in different handle material so I had to pick this one up. Probably bought it at our local hardware store.

I carried an Opinel 8 as my daily EDC for a year or so a while back. Every time I end up carrying this, I wonder why I even have any other pocket knives. Super slicey blade; ergonomic handle that, due to all the roundness, rides in a pocket really well; extremely lightweight; simple and reliable lock (mostly useful for keeping it closed in the pocket, and if you remember to use it open it works great, but you don't need it). At this point I would be sad to not have my other knives, but an Opinel 8 really is a great knife.
My Proper is unimpressed with all that, and insisted on coming along, "just in case". Glad to have you, Proper, glad to have you.

Your chestnut collection is outstanding Gary. The sowbelly is a show stopper.

Spectacular pair JJ, a great-looking Trapper, and I love your shunkley Toothpick

Thank you very much, and for your cool Old Sheffield sparkly slang!

Hope everyone has a good day Going BIG today

Your cool pairing of the Big Un and the burly Buck are a match made in heaven; hope you had a super slicing Wednesday, too!

Never tried them. I imagine they taste like chicken??

Sorry I meant to answer this earlier…
I don’t know, really. Salamanders are much too cute to think about eating! Besides, it would take a whole bunch to amount to much meat.
But in my experience, the closest to tasting like chicken is rattlesnake. We call it the Other White Meat. Even if a bit stringy.
