What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Primble]

I just got the Robertson Custom WT in the mail yesterday, so I am going to give it some more time in the pocket today. I am really impressed with the quality. I was a little worried about the antlers on the buck snagging, but, after seeing it in person, those worries vanished, as it lays down nicely in the stag and the shield seems very thick. Thought I would add my custom Humphrey Muley to the mix.

.............. I see a vicious looking spotted prehistoric cat ( with its ears laid back ) creeping toward its prey at the end of your lamb. It even shows a tail. Just a few other critters makes it a fine specimen.

I love the way you see animal forms in knife handles.


A little Barlow for me, today.

I won an auction for this one recently and it showed up in yesterday's mail. I got it pretty cheap because it didn't have a shield and looked pretty rough. I spent some time cleaning it up last night, getting most of the crud out of the inside, flushing it out, gluing on a new shield and giving the blades some new edges. It's not the prettiest knife around, but it's still solid and has some life left, so I'm putting it in the pocket today.

I usually like to carry a couple knives but it's the Angus Jack all by itself today.

It looks pretty to me. It's amazing to me just how many old knives like yours are still very solid knives. What kind of glue did you use for the shield repair ?
Schrade knew how to make a really good knife.

Thanks! I just used a couple drops of Gorilla Super Glue. Hopefully that holds it.

Thanks Paul, I'm glad it is in good hands

Great to hear my friend, and thanks for the compliment

True! I just end up frittering it away elsewhere though!

Thanks JJ, it was a good night 'Fisticuffs Friday'! I'll have to try to remember that!

Most definitely

Fabulous!

Here's my carry for work today, it's a clone of the knife that I bought to carry at my wedding.

Had both a metal and a micarta slicer today, both green.

Thank you my friend !
Very nice assortment of grails for your totes.



Last day Harry ....... looking forward to seeing what you come up with tomorrow. A fine pair for the 27th !



Well .......... I would probably do the same Mr. Jack.
What a beautiful Lamb !!! .............. I see a vicious looking spotted prehistoric cat ( with its ears laid back ) creeping toward its prey at the end of your lamb. It even shows a tail. Just a few other critters makes it a fine specimen.
I have one of those stag keychain knives and I think yours is some prettier than mine.

Don't have any photos yet of what my carry for Feb. 28 , 2023 yet , but one of them will be this one .

Classy barlows Rachell...but the scrimshaw takes them to another level.

Two knives with alot of wow factor Paul.

A fine example of what a lamb can be in a craftsmans hand.

Thank you very kindly my friend, you should try reading tea-leaves, I'm impressed

If a Jack Knife means all the blades hinge on the same end, that 3 blader you showed yesterday is not as common as this one, is it?
What did GEC call that 3 blade NF? And I’d guess having 3 springs, it’s chunky.
It sure looks handy.

That’s a fine knife, and I think it’s great that you’ve rescued it and given it some lovin!
If a person could only have one knife, the 804 would be a good one to be stuck with.
