What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[mbkr]

Between having blood drawn a few days ago for cholesterol and A1c tests, and the appointment next week to learn the sesults, I get to eat whatever I want.

I like the way you think

I've got this one in my pocket:

I've never heard of bronze wool before; I'll be looking next trip to the hardware store. Thanks!

Some old knives out on the table, ready for fettling this weekend. (don't worry. I won't get the Flitz confused with the Stuf)

Good morning... not everyone carries it. A friend and I usually order it on line

I usually order on line. It is most often called simply bronze wool.
Be well

I guess I was stuttering through text....sorry.

I don't think that would ever leave my pocket

Finally starting to feel better after getting my COVID19 booster and flu shots on Thursday. Found out that there’s a mega flu vaccine for folks 65 and older. Every time I’ve gotten vaccinated I feel crappy the next day. Of course my wife has no side effects. Going with the usual lamb and for stag Saturday a Boker barlow.

Up early and into town because a store‘s website said they opened at 7:00. Nope, it’s now 9:00 Toting an Old Timer today so I’m at peace with it…

Yes, I absolutely remember doing that. They came in a package of six, and I'd methodically construct a cookie with six layers of filling. I generally avoid having such temptations in the house, but this is my yearly free-for-all time. Between having blood drawn a few days ago for cholesterol and A1c tests, and the appointment next week to learn the sesults, I get to eat whatever I want. I was smart and scheduled it around Halloween weekend. Hoping there will be a few Reese's cups left for trick or treaters.

That's a cool knife and a great memento.

Yearly Free For All. I like that!

Glad to hear your feeling better Dan. Gorgeous knives!

Love that blade stamp!

Yes, me too. A slightly better image...



As far as I can find out it’s made in India stamped 1973. But actually a nice little knife with good snap & gets a good edge. Horn covers had some beetle damage when I found it but black tinted epoxy fixed it to the extent that I can’t find where I repaired it

Cool photo Mike.

Hike or no hike, great trio. I am a little fixated on that carved wooded bowl, though. Verrrrry nice.

Love that blade stamp!

See, this is why I don’t let myself even roll the cart down that aisle in the grocery. I suspect I would have ended up with that gross, disgusting, and thoroughly inviting package in my cart.
Thanks for revealing that the package photo is enhanced. It helps my will power.
Remember pulling them apart in order to combine ones with the “stuff”?

Seeing some really nice Albers creations lately ~ Jack’s stag, and this sweet thing. Lovely pair, my friend.

Same two jacks as yesterday. View attachment 1972769View attachment 1972770And a Bowie on my belt in the sheath I made for it. View attachment 1972771The only marking on the knife is 1981 neatly stamped on the blade. I found it in a little crossroads gun shop in the Ozarks right after we moved there in ‘81. Someone forged and ground it and handled it in curly grained black walnut. The only thing the shop owner said was “home made”. I was dirt poor then, but managed the $20 he was asking for it.
At some point, I worked it over and re-ground and polished out some uneven spots.
Maybe I can use it on the Jack-O-Lantern today.

I don’t know how long this incredibly nice weather will last, because @screenedporch wouldn’t divulge what his Old Farmer’s Almanac says. But I intend to enjoy it.

Beautiful photos Jeff.

Great way to start the day.
The fire in that Northwoods bone is probably enough to keep you warm.

Nice and toasty for sure.

I feel like the bolster needs a little more “love”, so I’ll keep this one in my pocket for a few days.

I takes some preparation before I can cast the old farmer's runes.

Going light so far today.

I took this with me today,I enjoyed cleaning and oiling this one when I got it.

One rivet from the scales is though into the well but misses the blade edge,I got all the gunge and rust out.

It pinches open and I find it charming

Any knowledge on its age/history greatly received.

Despite several attempts to knock me of my bike today I returned in one piece though exhausted.
