What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I had these two with me this weekend when we boiled 42 bushels of stamen apples to make apple butter at our church.

We started cooking around 4:30 Friday afternoon. This was sometime late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Still a lot of steam (water in the apples.)

One of the kettles around 4:00 Saturday afternoon. Ready to be sugared and spiced. Notice the dark color and lack of steam; boiling the water out of the apples is what makes good apple butter. We cooked this batch just over 24 hours.

Today’s carry with the finished product. We ended up with 57 1/2 gallons of apple butter. Pretty good weekend; a lot of work, but a good time.
I have never seen it in England,will keep looking looks tasty to me.

You're certainly not under knifed with those three super duper Sunday slicers; your sweet pruner looks like a one of the great classics, too! :cool::D👍👍
 
Here are the last 2 knives from my "Top 10 Stag/Horn" I've carried last Monday through today.
A Schrade-Wostenholm I*XL stag canoe I won in a GAW here (and found out when it arrived that it's serial number on the bolster is my birthdate DDMM):
