What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

Unbelievingly ?

Well ,,,,,,,,,,, I love the knife, but, the fly ......................... c'mon man .................... I liked that shriveled up Shamrock better than a dirty old fly !

You need a new bunny knife or something ...................... a mercury dime, a buffalo nickel, or a penny !

By the way ..... Your knife probably needs disinfectant !

Huge cultural gap opening up here....

Here the winters are very long and VERY cold, summers are short and hot and flies are everywhere in the countryside. This one gatecrashed my shot...and we don't cut them up so no disinfectant needed thank you

Don't tell me Elijah J doesn't go bonkers if he sees an insect flying around the house

Always been a big admirer of US coinage, you don't mess about with your currency like other places...and the designs are beautiful, timeless. Tell you what, I could do with a new backdrop for a knife: you send me one of them 50 Dollar Gold Buffaloes I hear you all get in change, that'll do

Felt like going with Peach Seed today. This #15 was my first GEC Barlow that Mrs. Crappie searched high and low to buy for me.

Your wife has very good taste and hunting skills.

I think that before today, the last time I posted on The Porch was a week ago. I remember than my posts in this thread were featuring red knives, of which I posted a couple on last Friday morning, and I still had a few more I planned to post on Saturday and Sunday to close out my Red Knife Week to kick off Advent 2022. But by the time I finished supper last Friday, I could tell I was "hurtin' for certain", and sure enough, I spent about 45 hours of the 48 hours that comprised last weekend in bed with fever/chills/sore throat. Since then I've been trying to catch up on life after missing my days to do the weekend chores.

So I'm going to just finish up posting my red knives from last week over this weekend, and start up my Green Knife Week on Monday, just a week behind my original plan.
Here's a Rough Rider medium stockman that is VERY nice IMHO, reminiscent of an Uncle Henry 897 UH, which I think is an ideal medium stockman:



Here's a red smooth bone S&M #64 canoe I like for its unexpected sheepsfoot main (thanks, peanutsxx ):

Thank you David, it certainly has plenty of 'characters'!

No, it isn't, but I really don't go looking, that's just a few scenes from my mate's stall!

Beautiful photo of a lovely knife Tim

LOL! Great pic Todd

Thanks Jack.

Those look good together James.

Stale popcorn... Also, don't worry, I'll give you a one week grace period to that beautiful barlow into proper shape

I’m sure it will look better in a week.

Glad to hear you’re feeling better Gary, nice looking red knives.

A simple recruit today. The lack of back tools makes for a much better grip

The jigging on that Boker is special, plus the slanted fluted pinched bolsters. Pretty sweet.

I did wonder what you’d gotten into the last couple of days. Sounds like the flu!

I guess the good news is that losing a weekend is not any worse than losing a couple of ordinary days for us retired dudes.

Be well.

Looks like further pruning in my wild black raspberry thickets will have to wait.

Nice pair of knives.
