What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

2022 BF Bunny knife has pretty much been my main go-to since I got it. I wanted a "GEC that is not too pretty to use" and it fits that bill perfectly for me. Good sturdy knife, about the right size, for pocket carry, good blade profiles for what I need to to.

I agree about one hundred percent. It is, however, a very sleek and handsome folder, in my opinion. Also ... it has a look and feel similar to some of my favorite old knives, just newer. 😊
I had my "Peter Rabbit" in my watch pocket all day today and part of the day yesterday. It's all I needed and I cut stuff with it.

I went to the river on Friday to launch my canoe and photograph Bald Eagles. The wind was blowing so hard that the canoe stayed in my pocket until Saturday, when I returned to the river once again. It was quite calm on this day. The canoe returned to the shelf this evening.

I seldom purchase a Chinese made knife, but was interested to see what these were made of. It is a handsome affair, and very sharp too, but the handle scales are cracking already, and it's not a year old. Oh well, I thankfully didn't spend much on it.

Wind or no wind, I was able to get some eagle photos on Friday, and Saturday too.

Another e-learning day. This one was a good call, ice and sleet over night, not a lot but it doesn’t take much ice. View attachment 2064477

Nice couple of knives, Todd. Is the Micarta Boker new? I don’t recall seeing it. Glad you didn’t have to brave the icy roads👍

This Boker is one of the first I bought when I joined the forum.

Very cool knife, Jim. I wish the present-day Barlows had that bolster.
 
Boker barlow today. I could see the snow-capped mountains in the background, unfortunately they don’t show up in the picture.

Thanks a lot, Jack!!! It's always a good day with slicers from Sheffield! :) :thumbsup:

It's great to see the old metal Imperial hanging out with your wonderful Waynorth! :cool:👍 You have really done some very sweet upgrades on your Tactical; I just figured out the company is located Austria, even though I had been curious about the Language use during the initial build (thrown of by the "AR" designation.) 😃😲👍

Thanks buddy, I have played around with it (and the Compact) a fair bit :) Some of the accessories are worth buying, others are junk I think, all are overpriced! The language can be bizarre (eg 'Throwing arm', 'fixation') :D :thumbsup:

I started some tweaks on my fun little bolt shooter by digging through storage gragging a Bark River FB, adding a KK Barlow a bit later. :)

Nice set-up JJ, that looks like a good quality sling, and I like your choice of cutlery :cool: :) :thumbsup:

Have a good day everyone :) Got my Hartshead Barlow, and a Random Tuesday Remington Balloon Penknife :) :thumbsup:

Rugged and elegant, nice combo Jack.👍
 
Stockman of the Week is an Uncle Henry 897UH (thanks, Dean). The "design" of this knife is my ideal of how a medium stockman should be built:

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider stag canoe:

Work Knife of the Week is a Colonial Forest-Master, my first pocket knife from about 1960:

Thanks Bart. No I’ve had that for a couple years, I think. It a limited edition SFO, so I haven’t used it…yet anyway. 😎👍

Although that 897UH is 3/16" to 1/4" longer than my pocket likes, I have to agree with your statement... "ideal of how a medium stockman should be built"
Not to mention that they are just plain 'a good lookin' knife'. I always did like the bright, crisp look of Staglon in the hand.
