What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[screened porch]

How did you decide which knife got the spotlight, and which got the shadows?

The white one would have been glaring in the sun and the black rolls a bit to make the reflection of the sun less direct.

What neighborhood? I once lived on Persia Ave, just a few blocks above where Ocean met Mission.

I live the Ocean View neighborhood. Not to far from SF State.

Sorry buddy, I just seen this. It's a 2022 Winchester, made by Blue Grass Cutlery. I've been told their F&F was on par with GEC, but this one definitely wasn't. It's the only one I can speak on, but the snap on the blades is a little weak. There's a pretty big gap between a backspring and liner, but that doesn't bother me. Was bothered me is the shield. They pin their shields too, and the circle where the pin is soddered to the shield shows up right in the middle of the tulip bulb. I do really like the stag though. Sorry it took so long for me to to reply.

Definitely some great looking stag. I wonder what manufacturer makes these for Blue Grass?

Opinel Knife by Jeff, on Flickr
Just bought my first Opinel. I had heard they were good slicers, but I can now confirm this knife slices better than any other knife I've ever used. It's scary sharp.

Recently, it’s gotten real sporty living there now. With the advent of fentanyl people are ODing regularly in open air sidewalk use. Our mayor has pledged to ending it but we’ll see.

I was supposed to receive a package today, but its doing the Kansas City Shuffle. That's where a package arrives at the USPS Kansas City Distribution Center and then departs the KCDC...and then arrives at the KCDC....and then departs the KCDC, and so on and so forth. Sometimes the package takes a trip for a day or two to strange, exotic, and secret locations before returning to the KCDC. Sometimes it shows up unannounced the next day. I, for one, appreciate the entertainment provided by the KCDC. Fun times

Ha! So it's not just me and the St. Louis MO Network Distribution Center. However, the entertainment value just isn't there for me. Nice lookin' Barlow there.

It wasn’t exactly super duper wholesome when I was there about 25-26 years ago, and I can’t imagine it’s any better now. Definitely saw some stuff and some things, man. Nevertheless, I had a good time while I was there, but realized I’m just a Florida boy at heart.

Here’s the bunny from my pocket to keep things relevant:

Second day this week that the mighty Internet has been out of service all morning.
I just stuck my reliable old KA-BAR-LO in my pocket and did something else. Good like onion soup.

That's a good lookin' pair of knives. Note: One need not be dressed to tote knives. I recently went to put my jeans on for the day and found four (yes 4) knives in the pockets of my sleep shorts. Keep in mind however, I had been up for a few hours already.

Thanks,

Interesting Buck...very nice.

Have a great week, porch peeps!

This week's stuff - a week of (mostly) Case teardrops, with a Mini Kephart if needed.

I really should use this Mini Kep more, it's about as good a food slicer as my kitchen knives.

Monday's pocket buddy will be a Richlite version.
