What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Crappie71]

How about a little Kryptonite for St. Paddy's day,

. . . or some antique green bone,

. . . or maybe some green stag!

I really like your green stag Moor Maker Stockman; I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one like it!

Hope you’ve got the bug on the run, Jon.
That Sears knife has to be helping.

I never got around to getting one of the green Schrades. I should look for one at the upcoming knife show!

I have had 3 and there's just something special about Hunter green and brass.

Was carrying my Boker Kalashnikov at work today but now that I'm home I switched to something more appropriate for the holiday

Edit, should include the back.

Seems like everyone's turning Black Friday into Green Friday this week. This was my parents' wedding anniversary; I don't get the green connection, but I'll play along in their honor.
These Case Calibers are kind of green in the right light (or shade):


This Fight'n Rooster 4-blade gunboat canoe has greenish bone covers:


This Steel Warrior modified muskrat definitely has some green in its acrylic covers (thanks, Jeff):


This GEC 72 has greenish micarta covers (thanks, Dee):


According to some internet sites, this 1978 NKCA gunboat canoe has green bone covers (that look black to me):


I doubt if anyone would deny that this Hen & Rooster mini canoe has green bone handles (thanks, Will):


Can any knife be more appropriate for today than this shieldless green delrin Imperial Ireland trapper (thanks, Dave)??


This LF&C pen knife has a green tint (thanks, Mark):


I'd better stop with this Luck of the Irish Rough Rider canoe:

Finished the work part of my work trip early so I went out exploring, including a stop at the Puget Sound Naval Museum. Part of their workload is scrapping old submarines:

This small portion of pressure hull steel from one such sub weighs…8 lbs!!! Did I mention that steel is 2” thick?

One of the next subs slated to go to the dead fleet for recycling is my first sub, USS Chicago. They are already inside the shipyard and I was able to get onboard and check out how she has aged in the past 20 years since I left. It was great to talk to some of the sailors still stationed aboard her and also got some swag before I departed.

Background on how the shipyard got its start:

Scaled replica of the hammer crane that has become a symbol of the shipyard:

Interesting copy of a daily wage scale for various jobs:

A portion of an arresting cable used on the flight deck of our carriers:

The sail of USS PARCHE (SSN 683) is outside the museum. If you don’t know her story, i recommend reading Blind Man’s Bluff by Sherry Sontag.

So very cool that you got the opportunity to visit your first sub again. Thank you for your service, and I’ve just ordered the book you recommended. Looking forward to reading it.

Thank you sir, I was thankful for the opportunity to get onboard one last time before she is scrapped. I’ve read the book about a half dozen times (it’s on my bookshelf at home), it’s a very good read.

Well… scarlet fever is now added to the strep as I now have rashes everywhere. Yay… me. Didn’t think adults could get that.

Gator for the green today and the 65 as well. Still on heavy antibiotics so it’s non-alcohol for me.



Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!

Thank you JJ, full report in the Guardians thread!

I saw that, you had both a great time and some tasty looking eats!

That's an interesting pairing my friend, nice to compare them

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

For Full Pockets Friday!

I'm guessing your ready for some full glasses, as well! Three terrific totes to fill your pockets on this St. Pats Friday!

 

[JJ Cahill]

I grabbed some green today; Happy St. Pats Day!

 

[Bloodloss]

I added my one and only green knife to my carry ....... after you guys got me to feeling superstitious.
