What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Ruhiger Sturm]

This one is tagging along for the day.

Not too shabby yourself Jeremy. Great pair there. Love the dark ram's horn.

Thanks Paul, I really like the darker horn.

We'll be on the way to town pretty soon and I'll be totin the Bunny knife and this 6231 1/2 that I got from a dealer awhile back. I'd like to have known the previous owner of the Case. Looks like it's been on many a venture with plenty of hard use but not abused. His sharpening method appears to be a bit ham fisted but the knife came very sharp with plenty of blade left to last me for as long as I'll need it. Anyway, the usual stops in town and a possible stop at the auction yards/stock yards to see what's happening. A new owner took over about a month or so ago. Hash and eggs for breakfast at the Wagon Wheel.

Saw the picture and thought “that sure looks like a worker”, then read your post, which confirmed what I thought. Great knife Ed!

Another beautiful day in the City by the Bay! High of 60 and mostly sunny. The usual lamb and a nod to trapper Tuesday.

GO ND!!! and you had just talked about going into Lake Geneva to see the sculptures, then I get a notification that team ND took 1st Thanks for posting that Harry

We’ve been there, or as they say in Wisconsin, we bin over by dere. I have two complaints about that ice sculpture show.
Number one, there are entirely too many Illanoyans clogging up those infernal one way streets.
Number two, it’s too cold. I don’t see why they can’t hold it in nice tee shirt weather like the annual art fair.

Thanks Steve.

FOMO is an unfortunate disease one picks up when getting addicted to knives Lol. I think that old pruner is really a cool knife. I don't have much use for a pruner myself but I think I would take the Kutmaster over any 47 pruner. Cool pair Jeff.

I have almost daily uses for hawkbills, except in the winter, LOL
I have nothing against GEC… in fact, the few I have are superbly made. They’re kinda hard to get the last few years, and out of my budget. But I thoroughly enjoy seeing them in this thread. And I hope they are around forever.

Thank you for the compliment!

I see you’re in Wisconsin. Maybe you can meet us at the Badger Knife Show next month?

Schrade 5OT, a favorite lockback and nylon Sak Camper today.

Last year, Barret, btb01 lucked into two of those green 5OTs at the Knife Sow..
I was a bit jealous

 

[Primble]

I am fairly certain that the old hawbills we see with rounded tips, and horrible blade loss from agressive sharpening were used by plumbers and electricians. Hard use tools.

Maybe roofers and carpet installers too.

Thanks, Todd.
Dapper wood duo for you (although there's something fishy about that pen)!
Speaking of stories, what's the story of that "black map" that frequently show up in your photos?

Thanks Gary. The map is a desk/mouse pad my son gave me. He’s a good boy!

Thanks, and no charge.

Eureka on lunch duty today.

Great blades, but too bad they don’t patina.

Two favorites today. 86 Black Jack and the stag lamb.

Love those two together Paul.

Working from home today, went with these two.

Two nice ones there Jeremy. Those PJs are really fun.

Great stag James, not many of them in that run.

 

[Jack Black]

Maybe roofers and carpet installers too.

Definitely, I have a couple that are marked as 'Lino Knives'

Thanks Todd, I really should carry it more as it is a fantastic knife.

Hi Paul!

I’d have a hard time chosing just one of those cigar jacks, so all 3 works.

By the way, which one’s Pink?

Mr. McMasters, it’s the Badger Knife Show in Janesville, Wisconsin.

This link has a map~

Explore Janesville - Wisconsin's Great Outside

Recharge your spirit as you explore hundreds of acres of tranquil parkland and miles of peaceful trails. Take in the breathtaking beauty of our award-winning botanical garden and discover the charm of our 13 historic districts and quaint downtown. Explore our variety of shopping and dining...

It’s on I-90 at the Rt14 Janesville exit, not far from the border crossing between Illanoyistan and the Cheddar Curtain.

And like almost every Cracker Barrel I’ve ever tried to find, this one is tucked away off the frontage road where it’s invisible. It’s actually off the next I-90 exit, but it’s real close to the Holiday Inn where the exhibit is. Just follow that frontage road, Deerfield Rd, cross that other road at the light, and turn left. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cracker+Barrel+Old+Country+Store,+2430+Fulton+St,+Janesville,+WI+53546/@42.7272294,-88.9922002,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x880610eec74ce6fd:0x3fe483d486f81cba!8m2!3d42.727986!4d-88.9928868!16s/g/1hc5qks_s?hl=en-us

Been there several times, and manage to get lost every time. I straggle in around 9:30, 9:45, and the other guys are half done eating.

That’s an excellent spear blade on your Northfield, and and excellent choice for 60 degree weather. Going to hit the mid forties here ~ I’ll take it.

1970 Redbone
You scored.

Yes! Stag is imitation Staglon. And bone is imitation Dupont Delrin

Yes, Gary. 19and 56.
Now if you could swipe that manhole cover and mail it to me, that’d be great.


Really nice pair, Rob! Could we see their blades in a more revealing pose? Please?

It was a long streak!

I see some glop on the blade there, but I notice it’s the second day in a row that you’re hiding what you’re eating.

Thank you!

Two blade Trapper Tuesday

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Bunny FooFoo is becoming a second favorite, great as it is it wont kick the 85 crown lifter off the throne. Funny how you don't really know which knife or pattern will be the "Ah Ha!!" knife for you until you have it in hand and use it! Obviously the 85 is my Ah Ha! Knife

 

[Crappie71]

Carrying the #93 Ramfoot today; also added the #73 Remington Trapper for Trapper Tuesday and in anticipation of the Remington R9511.
