What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Yea!! The power finally came back on. It's been off since 4PM yesterday, and we've been using the generator because all the sleet & wet snow we had yesterday knocked down so many trees in the area. Here's one that narrowly missed my neighbours front porch. In a two mile stretch of road behind our house, there were six trees on the power lines.

The stockman was in my pocket again, but it was no help clearing trees off the road.

Maybe I should make Winter Hiker like the roaming gnome and bring him with me for knife pictures everywhere I go.

With my membership level, I'm not allowed to ask about knife values. But I didn't see anything about asking about Winter Hiker values, Heh-Heh. Every time I see that little fella, I like him more. Do you sell your carvings?

I do the same, except with a Wenger Esquire. I have a backup key ring with a car and house key, along with the Wenger always in my pocket. Not only will I never accidentally lock myself out, but the lil Wenger keeps my nails guitar ready, and it’s scissors take care of those errant hairs that pop up in strange places. 🤣

Ice fishing is fun. You’re never too old for fun, my friend. It helps if you have one of these…View attachment 2018373

Wish I were in the proximity of the store, or could pose as one of your brothers -in-law...;) Mint Chocolate is calling like a siren, believe that Camel is joining in too😆

Very nice selections. Your family will have some great new toys.

I would be the proverbial kid in the candy store there.

Well, it is a pocket knife. 😎
And a handsome one it is.

I love the look (and feel) of well worn leather. One of life’s little pleasures.

I wavered over my knives this morning. I was tempted to keep on with the same pair, but just too many old friends and favorites in my cigar boxes…
I often wonder if I’m missing something in not having just one good knife, like Grandpa and his faithful Camillus, or the nurseryman I worked for who carried nothing but his extremely sharpening worn Schrade Stockman. They would shake their heads at us and our many knives.
We are materially blessed.
Same rocks, more snow, and different knives.View attachment 2017848View attachment 2017849
Have a fine day!

I think in some ways we are missing something by having our many knives. Here of late I have pondered getting do to one or two knives, excluding gifted ones of course. There is a lot to be said for that approach.
Beautiful knives you carried.

Beautiful neighborhood sir. Bet it is just as beautiful when covered in white. Provided the view is from a warm, comfortable chair with a cup of hot coffee

When I was young I had a Jon-e hand warmer. I was never able to get it to work properly.
I grew up in the deep south. Ice is something put in your sweet teas, coke (could be Pepsi, root beer, sprite...) and occasionally your amber distilled adult beverage but not something you drove on or fished thru
