What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Might be the right prescription Mr. Jack !
Once you start looking, kinda hard to stop.

A pair of fine fine stags for you today, my friend !

Thank you very much Mr P

That is exactly the look I was going for. Thanks for noticing.

A fine-looking pair

 

[Jack Black]

Hello everyone, long time no see! So happy to be here to share this beautiful Sunday mornin on the porch!
Keeping it simple and straightforward with this little 33 … clearing some cobwebs and just stretching my legs a bit …

Welcome back Paul

 

[Jerbhola89]

The Mrs and I may have partied a little too hard last night. It required some morning recovery burritos.

Back to the Boker on this beautiful sabbath day in B’more. Blessings to all today.

During the wind storm the other day, I removed my Cattaraugus Magnet Display board from its usual place at the end of my hallway.
I took it to the basement and put it in a steel toolbox drawer.
Back in place this morning ...... some of my favorites are not on it right now ...... in my carry rotation.
I thought a few of you that frequent the totin' thread might enjoy seeing what I see every day.
I apologize for the board not looking quite square or rather rectangular due to my smartphone limitations, but, it is perfectly rectangular.

About half my Catt collection on the board at any one time.

That's an awesome display, Rob! I would have been running to the basement with it too!

You are not wrong

Raging blizzard today so here goes...

That's a superb stag bone slim trapper, Will.

Kudos on the kool Kutmaster stockman, FBC!

Supposed to get 6 to 10 inches of snow today. In the meantime, a 48 Improved Trapper in the pocket…

And, this morning's visitors -- nap time under Momma's watchful eye...

Did you get your predicted 6-10 inches of snow? Where in MI are you located? Here in Grand Rapids, 3-6 inches was predicted, but less than a half-inch ended up on the ground by Saturday morning. You get some nice wildlife shots on your property!

I don’t think I’ve seen this model of Case before. It looks very “Lamb-like”
...

I guess “sandbagging” could apply, but really I was aiming for self-deprecating humor.
In your case, Royalty is 100% accurate. And speaking for myself, your daily knife choices are a true joy, and something I look forward to each morning.
I sure hope I didn’t offend, because I only meant to poke fun at my own carries!

Now I have to try and shoot a crow for breakfast!

Uh oh! Looks like the crow was smarter…View attachment 2102324
...

Jeff, I think that Case is just a 1-blade version of their Wharncliffe mini trapper. Other folks have noticed the lambsfoot characteristics of the way Case makes the blade, and sometimes refer to that blade as a "lambcliffe".

As far as you and Primble and Rufus1949 and your talk of eating crow goes, I think Jack Black showed a lot of wisdom and foresight by swearing off meat for March!

If I tote work knives, does that mean I actually have to work?View attachment 2102350View attachment 2102351

Sometimes when I see your yellow Big Jack, it reminds me of that Johnny Cash/June Carter Cash song:
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackknives
Ever since the fire went out.

I think the Yeti 88 has the coolest blade etch of any GEC, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

View attachment 2102689

Now I have Johnny Cash songs rattling around in my head. If I had a sublime 88 like you guys have, white or black, I'd sing
I keep a close watch on this knife of mine.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I wish it had a lanyard hole and twine.
Because it's mine, I walk the line.

...
If you were trying to nail your knife to the tree, you missed.
...

Never was any good with a hammer

Just rain so far

Jeff & Mike, that's high quality entertainment you guys provide, free of charge!

That's a dandy distinguished dark duo, Steve!
I wonder if, like the Man in Black,
They wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Living in the hopeless, hungry side of town.
They wear the black for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the time.

Today's carry

That black Alox Pioneer (?) and stag mini trapper are a superb pair! I thought you had a nice yellow mini trapper, and now you've got a stunning stag one?

David & David, you each have a tremendous trio of rough and ready knives!
Misplaced David, how do you like that Kershaw traditional?
If you guys were named Sue instead of David, I'll bet you'd have no trouble coming up with a knife you could carry while
Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

Case's bonestag can be hard to do justice too. I tend to play with lighting and angles more than a healthy person would . I find if I take a whole bunch of pictures I sometimes get one or two really decent ones
I think the bonestag on the sodbuster looks great View attachment 2102641

Mike, are you able to usually pick out your Case bonestag in person? I see some bon stag examples I think are fantastic and some that don't thrill me at all, so I'm a little leery of ordering it online.

Osage and enhanced Whiskey bone from previous owner.

Paul, the handles on both those knives look fantastic, and the patina on the Tribal Lock is great!
(But the shape of the flat-head screwdriver on your bottle-opener blade is weird. )

A foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay. The usual lamb and a nod to red Friday a Boker pen.

Thanks for the concern my friends.

It appears we have weathered the very long lasting wind storm. The winds have let up a little in the past hour, but, still 38 mph sustained and gusting in the low 50's. That is a bit better than the hours that went by where we had mid 40 mph sustained and gusting in the high 60's and low 70 mph range. My home has lost quite a lot of shingles near the ridge cap, but, I'm not alone, as every house that I can see from inside has similar roof damage. I imagine it will be a long wait in line to get your roof fixed. I took a few screen shots of our Mesonet weather system during the worst of it. Everybody had some fine totes today, but, I didn't look very often. Tomorrow will likely be a much better day.
...

Rob, I'm glad you and your cat made it through the high winds safely! Did Elijah seem to get nervous in the stormy weather, or does he just take it in stride? Sorry to read about the roof damage, and I hope you can get that patched up soon.
(As you can see in the newspaper headlines in sf fanatic 's post quoted right before yours, even a US senator is having problems with shingles! I still need to get that vaccine.)

These 2 today : Northfield # 592322 in Ironwood and JA Henckles in Stag . Someone who had the Kenckles prior to me had done very poor job of sharpening over the years but there are pretty sharp edges on the blades in places . Other than that , it is still in good shape .

We have been busy putting a puzzle together and finally ALMOST finished it .

Never did find the missing piece either .

Harry

That looks like a pleasurable pair of knives, Harry; I especially like that stag!
We have a family tradition of doing at least one puzzle when we rent a cottage in August for vacation; we've stayed in the same one for over 30 years. The owners when we first rented the cottage were nice people, but they didn't invest a lot of time, energy, or money in their "resort" on Lake Huron. One year, we finished a puzzle except for one piece that was still missing after extensive searching. A year later, that still bothered me a little, and I decided to completely move the heavy old couch. And underneath was the missing piece!

Just about everybody in my town and most towns around here have shingle problems GT, which creates a few other problems, like shortage of roofers and roofing, I predict.
I wish I could go take the shingles vaccine and get rid of my current shingle problems.

Elijah J. usually takes it in stride. He tried not to show his nervousness, but, it showed. He was stuck to me like super glue, every time I moved he was right on my heels. When I saw those high 60's and 73 mph SW wind gusts showing up outside and exact on our Mesonet system, we moved to the basement for over an hour, then back to the kitchen on the northeast side. At one point, we heard a long low pitch raking noise from the front of my house and I remember saying to him, I wonder what that was ? I later found that was when my down spout got turned 90 degrees and had raked over the shutters.

His usual afternoon normally involves cat napping it away ...... not one time did he fall asleep. He slept really good that night, after the winds went away.

Work Knife on Sunday ?!?!?! You betcha 100%
One of several superb knives Jakeywax31 chose for his recent generous and selfless GAW
I'm both very lucky and honored to have the pleasure of being this Bull Nose's steward. Thanks Paul !!! Thank you sir
And he sent it razor sharp too !!! Nice

I am thrilled to know that you got that knife after getting to know you some through the gaw. I hope that knife serves you well for years to come Jim. Take care my friend.

 

[JB in LV]

Corn Fed , excellent book. When I read it, something like 25 years ago, I had to ask my boss-at-the-time to explain the different effects of the items being “consumed and combined”, so I knew what was going on. He knew them all well. The police officer scene in the movie is out at Red Rock, not Baker, California or wherever they pretend it to be.

New Max Sao Zulu and McAlevy B&T today. Along with some other fun this morning.

Camillus scout. Sorry for lousy picture. Jack breaking trail in a hurry today.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Good looking knife (and hat), Jeff! Like a lot of us, I’ve had various SAKs going back to when I was a kid, but for whatever reason they’ve always been Victorinox. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a Wenger.



Nice scrimshaw trapper. Looks like the edge is nice and thin! Aren’t those usually stainless? Then again, I’ve only ever seen them with a Schrade USA stamp, so I’m guessing that’s one’s a bit older.

Thanks, Barrett.
Yes, that knife is one of a kind. The original blade had Dremel damage all up the pile side, and a bent tip. I had to straighten the tip before polishing out the Dremel damage, but it snapped with a loud PING when I tried it.
I bought the blade from an ebay seller who has knife parts from Schrade’s bankruptcy factory selloff.

It is a Schrade blade, I think they were going to be doing a run of NYKC re-issues.
I like it because it’s got a slightly higher profile than a stock Schrade blade.
I had to put the edge on myself after figuring out how to deal with the Swinden key, which I do not recommend.

During the wind storm the other day, I removed my Cattaraugus Magnet Display board from its usual place at the end of my hallway.
I took it to the basement and put it in a steel toolbox drawer.
Back in place this morning ...... some of my favorites are not on it right now ...... in my carry rotation.
I thought a few of you that frequent the totin' thread might enjoy seeing what I see every day.
I apologize for the board not looking quite square or rather rectangular due to my smartphone limitations, but, it is perfectly rectangular.

I only have two and I ordered them both online. I do have a large Case dealer about 50 miles away that would probably let me look at a few samples if I asked nicely
