What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Trying to deal with lake effect snow the past 3 days has put me behind on enjoying posts here on The Porch.
Below are my picks for favorite post on each page in this thread on Thursday.
A pair of John Primble India Steel Works Jacks (1890-1940) are Thursday's choice. 😊

Outstanding covers on that pair, Rob! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
Does that second knife, with the federal shield, have stag handles? Distinctive dark color!!

Sublime bone/jigging/color on that PAL jack, Steve!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I twisted something in my back last week and had to end the hunt a bit early. Today is the first day since Sunday I wore anything with pockets…and I was able to get socks on without passing out😁View attachment 1991619
Best wishes for a swift and complete recovery from the back problem!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
(As a "balance exercise", I usually try to put on my socks while I'm standing up, and I'm always happy when I can do it without falling over.)

Graduating 3 year institute of discipleship at our church tonight. Figured this is the right one to carry. View attachment 1991641

Very cool double-ended knife!! :cool::cool::thumbsup:
Would that be called a moose pattern, or does a moose always have a serpentine frame?

Elijah J. woke me an hour early today ( he has still not adjusted to Daylight Savings time :( ) so I am going to make the best of it by going to the market early. The cupboard is about bare and the kitty food is running out, which might create a real problem, if not addressed promptly.😊

For Friday, I am toting my beloved Schrade Cut. Co. ( c. 1917-1946 ) tear drop jack and I reckon it is all I need today. Have a fine weekend everyone ! 😊

Superb Schrade!! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
There's a recent thread discussing what "pick bone" is, and showing examples; that knife seems like it would be a perfect example!

Interesting pairing Bob, have a nice day :) :thumbsup:
My knife of choice today became a “Survival” knife, it’s lucky just by chance it’s fairly long & slender unlike some of the shorter stouter stuff I’ve been carrying lately.
The situation began just a short time ago when I was served food without a knife 😮
I was about to ask for one when I thought about what was in my pocket.

Emergency over.

And it worked better than a supplier knife would have done & just goes to show how even a humble “Traditional “ can be a Survival knife. I must just add though, I didn’t notice any Zombies lurking around as this all played out.....
Food without a knife?! :eek: Glad you were well-prepared my friend :) :thumbsup:
Thank you Mr. Jack and a wonderful pair for Sunday, you chose ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:😍
