What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Wedding in Georgia, and we are bringing our three grand daughters back to join in the storm, I mean family Thanksgiving at our house.

I only brought three pocket knives, so to avoid boring y’all (that’s Georgia speak), I have taken a few miscellaneous PHOTOS FROM THE ROAD.

In Nashville, they have live music in McDonalds. Well, at least this one right by the big Opry joint.E88D1AB2-6746-48F5-89B7-C26B62047EB1.jpeg
This old boy was scary good.

Geez. At least it’s a damn tie.1638AF18-BB98-41B0-B69F-E814AA1FEA0F.jpeg

I offered my TL-29 to help with the wedding cake. Mrs Fleschwund said “grow up, and put away your knife.”AA0F109E-C413-430D-909B-40E96FE4C432.jpeg

Laughed my way through the states with you.👍
Was there a knife in the pictures?
 
A Boker Solingen Copperhead with 440C blade steel and olive wood covers. #36 of 500.
I've struggled with this knife. It's nicely made except for the blade tip. It has a bulbous tip the likes of which I have normally only seen on Queens. I've had the knife for several years. Every time I sharpen it, I spend some time thinning that tip. I have hopes of eventually making it functional. In the meantime, it is a pretty knife and the rest of the blade is suitably sharp and useful.

Y'all have a safe trip back. Not just a Georgia word. All over the great south. I saw the toe catcher to open doors in a big box home improvement store many years before the co-vid. Wish all doors had them. I grew up drying my hands on the endless cloth hand towel in filling stations, eating a bologna sandwich while fishing using night crawlers for bait, so not much bothers be but the door handle leaving a men's room, well that is another story

Spent an hour just before lunch on snow shoveling, then came back in to see if I could pick a favorite post in this thread for each page posted on Friday. I was surprised to see that the thread had only 5 pages Friday. Here are my "winners".


You've got that captivating Case canoe all squared away, Tim! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


I don't have any Schlieper knives, but I sure like their Eye Brand logo! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
Are you making your chili in that cast iron Dutch oven? My wife used to make chili in a pot like that, but I like chili so much that she's switched to making it in an "industrial soup pot" with capacity about 3-4 gallons.


Classic trio, Jack; those avian raptors shouldn't bother you while you have those knives! :cool::thumbsup::cool:
But that Buck 110 might have you appearing to be limping, rather than striding, through Yorkshire unless you carry it on your body's vertical midline! :eek:🤓


That's a splendid lockback - desirable drop point blade and perfect size! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
A Schrade 5OT (or maybe 5UH), is currently at the top of my knife wish list.


Handsome knife, Bob! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Stellar stag, and I always prefer rounded bolsters; looks like at least the closed blade has a sunk joint. What pattern is it? I'm guessing it has blades at opposite ends and might be an improved muskrat.

Yes been making it in that pot for years. I think it’s only 5 or 6 quarts but I clicked the way the chili turns out in it. Only 3 of us at home now so it works out pretty good.
 
Amir Fleschwund Amir Fleschwund Thanks for the laughs Jeff 🤣 Please *don't* grow up though. Keep eating those sterno-flavored hotel breakfasts and you'll find out why they need pro toilet paper 😬 Hope the wedding goes off smooth and isn't totally ruined by your off-season tie.

We were walking the doggoes this morning and went by an estate sale; my better half took both dogs on the seven blocks home while I had the vise in one hand and a paper bag with all this other stuff in the other hand.

My two usual suspects were with me for this.

The big knife we bought is a Victorinox; the pruner / lino knife seems to be unlabeled. I asked about pocketknives, but the lady laughed and said, "I have seven grandsons. All the pocketknives got claimed already."

The shears have a little flag with "DCC" or "CCC" in it, and some text I haven't quite deciphered followed by "Reading PA".

On the whole, an unexpected but fun score this morning.

Great Andy Warhol interpretation of sauce and beans.
Hope you have a grand holiday.

Bob- you gotta help a southern brother out! I graduated from Clemson with a construction management degree (not rocket science). My cultural upbringing was heavy in football, American Gladiators, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I do know Andy Warhol enjoyed soup, but that is about it.

How did my knives summon forth a Warhol reference??? 😃😃😃😂😂😂
