What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[r8shell]

A fine pair r8shell. Is that considered a hawkbill?
Bob

I believe so. I'd call the knife itself a Pruner and the blade shape either a hawkbill or pruner.

Boker barlow today.

Handsome Böker copper-bolster Barlow, Bart!
I'm not used to seeing your cattle grazing on such green and puddly land!

...
LOL! I would have done the same my friend, I am not a fan of eggs! Thank you Gary
...
Have a great day folks

I like eggs, if cooked to my satisfaction, but I don't eat them very often; I should commit to a couple of eggs per week at least.
Great to see luminous Lucy, Jack!

May the day be a good one for you...

Your lamb is well-fed, Bob (plenty of good grain)!
Since I'm an enthusiastic supporter of sunk joints, I certainly approve of your PocketEze!

I could have picked a better knife for the occasion, but today is Popeye’s birthday. Fun fact if you are or find yourself in the Midwest the “home” of Popeye is in Chester, IL

Thanks for the Popeye info and photos!
When I was a kid, right after school on local TV we watched a LOT of Popeye cartoons (and 3 Stooges shorts) on a show called The Popeye Theater. Its host was Buck Barry (for a while, the show was called Buckaroo Rodeo, IIRC) and his horse Thunder (although there was another host, Fireman Freddie, at least some of the time). I was always kind of amazed/confused by the differences among the Popeye cartoons shown, because they came from quite a long time span. The bad guy's name changed from Bluto to Brutus among the cartoons, and characters looked different from one day to the next because the cartoons were shown in random order from the 1930s through at least the 1950s.

Hunting for dust bunnies in the office. Tough job, but someone has to do it.
Be safe and have a great week.

Probably not such a tough job when you have the right tool like that, Tim!

Since the store says Drugs and not Chemist, I’ll guess that photo is from the USA, and those are Redwood logs.

I'll concur with Jeff, based on the truck drivers being on the right side of the truck (that is the LEFT side) for USA driving regulations.

The funny thing is that I didn’t see the box elder bug till I looked at the pics myself. .

That's pretty amazing!
(Although I invariably find reflections in my knife photos that I never saw while taking the photos. )

That’s about the right amount Gary!

Fortunately, your compensation teaching America's youth goes far beyond the financial component, Todd!
(Can't buy many knives with the non-financial rewards you get, though. )

Thank you, GT.
Not sure if it's dedication or just laziness.

They say it's the thought that counts, John, but I'm not sure I agree. Whether you carry that knife regularly out of dedication or laziness really doesn't matter: actions speak louder than words. (How do you like my "dueling cliches"?

Today I grabbed these two new additions wearing wood.

These two for Wooden Wednesday View attachment 2051086View attachment 2051085

I enjoyed all these good wood knife pairs displayed on good wood backgrounds for Wooden Wednesday!
JJ, what do you think of that Old Hickory folder?

Cold and grey again today. We won't see any Rose-breasted Grosbeaks for a few months. They're all enjoying the warm weather in Central and South America. Our winter birds will be happy to eat their share.
Carrying my Boker Gent today. I used it to open the suet.
Have a peaceful Sunday!

Very nice western. My favorite color jigging.

 

[Rufus1949]

I believe so. I'd call the knife itself a Pruner and the blade shape either a hawkbill or pruner.

Thank you....a very nice example.

Like yesterday, another beautiful day in The City . A couple of favorites dressed in stag for Sunday.

[Alex.Y.]

A little more.
OVC is Ohio Valley Cutlery. They sell the Maher and Grosh line. I am carrying one today as well. Travis's and this one were made by GEC. Hopefully they will make more in the future.
View attachment 2055206

Thanks for the explanation, Jim! In December I've asked them if they are going to release anything in the nearest future, they replied positively. Though earlier they said that they are working with another cutlery company rather then GEC. Hope that have changed since.

Have a nice day

Snowy day today — nice change of pace from drab gray skies. Have this pooch in my pocket…

Really like this Buck 303 in a medium stockman size.

My best friend once said 40 years ago I expected everyday to be exciting,I still do but they seldom are nowadays


Went to look around town just to get out the house.

Had the best flat white of the year so far.

Bought a new tea mug and diffuser from T2 the Aussie tea house thats withdrawing from the northern hemisphere and is selling everything 1/2 price..

To save exporting across the world (with the Chinese made products they sell),so the girl told me,go figure.

The craziest thing I ever saw was when I went to New Zealand and went in a store to buy Kiwi fruit which was imported from Italy.

Bought some more of the best tea in the world came home and tried out the new mug.


Put on some blues which only lasted one side it was to depressing today (who would have thought it ).

So dug out some early down and dirty Stones (uptempo blues) and turned the volume UP.




19.00 hours time to take my tablets.

yep everday is exciting

 

[kyhunt]

I haven’t carried these two in awhile so I did today.

That’s beautiful you’ve inspired one of my carries today.

One of our favorite backyard feeder birds, but for some reason, they’ve been almost totally absent for two years.

It’s a Congress.

Very cool knife

Thanks! It's from a fantastic trade with sbh06 hope you guys don't mind seeing lots more of it.
He also did the beautiful slip for it (the slip will probably mostly go with MrsR&T for her violet bone 72.
