What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Nice day today, albeit a bit cold.

Amazing that a picture from taken in Slovenia can remind me so much of where I grew up in Virginia, USA.View from my Dads side deck of part of Big Moccasin valley.
This fire tower is 6 miles from his house, overlooking Moccasin Valley.

This is a drone photo of a fire tower on the mountain where I grew up. It is a different one from the previous photo. They're about 30 miles/48km apart.
Knife content, just so I'm not completely derailing the thread

Tis the season! Finally got to put Jerry on our tree this year! I thought the guitar was a nice addition.

I’d be grateful to have him on my tree!

edit I wish I was rich and nutty

Me too, but I settled for one of the two.
And I’m not rich.

What did you name that carving or what is he ? In any case, nicely done !
Handsome knife too !

I need to get some pictures of my new snowmen. Nicely done on both counts !

Cool pair of knives Mr P!

Thank you my friend !

really loving William and the Lion!

did you enhance the finish on that knife at all or is that how she came?

I had to clean it up a little, but, just a little. Half a dozen or so tiny pepper spots on the carbon blades and the pewter like handle finish was dull and dirty. Cleaned that with alcohol and then brushed across the surfaces a few times with a Super Eraser to create some highlights. After that, it looked good enough to my eye. Thank you my friend !

Thank you, He is the Winter Hiker. He made the reader section of Woodcarving Illustrated. He means a lot to me, as one of the pieces an recognition that changed the way I viewed my work in a positive light.

They look green to me.

Thanks. It all depends on lighting and background, I think; they're chameleons! How green do these look?

Couple of more green knives that don't exactly bring Christmas to mind, but, hey, it's the thought that counts!

In the woods all day today with this small neck knife. Did a lot of walking up and down steep ravines, the old joints are starting to let themselves known now that I'm relaxing back home. Maybe the bourbon barrel ale I'm sipping now will help.

Couldn't hurt, Greg! Sounds like a good day.
(I spent most of the day giving and grading final exams - dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. )

The ales for medicinal purposes only, Gary. I think I'd have to drink two or three if I had to grade exams all day.

Carrying this Eureka today, a borrow from my brother. Sweet knife. View attachment 2015449

Glad you are enjoying the carry brother

I think we all love the chase but when one comes to fruition after 9 years it's a really good feeling. Made possible by a fellow friend here on the porch, thanks Justin!!! a Smooth Ivory Bone Eureka paired today with my Conductor.

Congrats on getting the Eureka Paul and the Conductor is still looking great !!!!!

I was carrying mine (see below) the other day, and was struck again by how pretty it is, but also by how well made it is. (My past experience with Case, a decade or so ago, left me very unimpressed.)

I acquired three Case knives over the last 12 months, all made in 2021, I believe. The other two are quite nice - easily competitive with Böker for quality - but this one is as good as any of my GECs (and honestly, better made than my GEC Toothpick, which is kind of falling apart).

No complaints here - if I only cared about functionality in knives, I wouldn't have an account on this forum. I liked the first two Cases a lot (large stockman in black micarta and a Zippo peanut in curly maple) but this one really made me a Case fan.

I know exactly how you feel Greg. I used to be able to cut a tree and carry the logs up out of our little ravine and then do it again the next day, now I have to take a day to recover!
Fantastic photo my friend.
