What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[paulhilborn]

A nice patina really makes that knife look good.



Interesting French friction folder!



Great shot with Hank down there! Did he think you had a treat?



Yep, it is. He was a bit of a character.

That’s a nice memory, Jeff.



Thanks, Harry. I’ve heard that before. My brother and I look a lot alike, too.



That’s a good looking knife with a great shield!

Thanks Barrett, Hank ALWAYS thinks we have treats

I won't be giving anything but out until that crusty little rubber ducky vanishes !
Nice totes though.



There's still an outside chance you might need it if your bacon or toast is tough.

I wiped some mud off his face, but crusty ducky needs a dip in the creek.

Arrived 03-10-23. Have not carried it yet ... which is driving me a little batty. usually a new knife goes into my pocket the day it arrives.
Other than one day (St. Pats Day), I have carried the Bunny every day of March (plus quite a few consecutive days between 01-10-23 and 03-31-23).
At any rate, the Bunny is going to get a well deserved rest, starting the afternoon of 03-31-23.

I like the size of it too Mr. R. ...... measures just over 3 & 7/8" closed ...... and a rich history, from a company that Americans kept house with, in the late 1800's.

Wow...it's prettiness really pops when you present it from that perspective Mr.P.

GEC 92 in smooth camel bone.
That bone is perfect...very nice.

Great example of camel bone Pat.

WWII Navy Rope Knife. Only sharpened once.
I’ve seen the lifeboat version which included a can opener for opening tins of drinking water and food in an inflatable raft…probably a good idea to not provide a pointy knife in inflatable life raft survival gear.

Jeff, love the guard duck protecting that fine pairing.

Ok, time to give kudos to Jakeywax31 aka Paul. He was at the knife show and found knives I have been searching for...low and behold he found two examples. Then he goes and gifts them to me. I have entered them in my drawer of appreciation.
Thank you Paul.
A Voos and OVB. Hibbard, Spencer& Bartlett.

Carrying these two awesome knives today. The Stone custom was a wonderful gift from my friend Rufus1949 . I opened the package yesterday and was blown away with the gesture of generosity and friendship. Thanks Bob!!!!!!!. The Charlie lamb will be in tote as well. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend everyone.

How generous of Paul!
Congratulations, the >voos> is a classic, and yours looks to have nice, full blades. You've prompted me to pocket mine today.

 

[Travman]

Just bought this one at a local show.

Another photo of a moment where my mind’s eye looked down and became aware of the image - no staging or fooling with lighting, just a snapshot of a moment. My usual Case with one of my favorite books I return to occasionally.

Yes indeed.....I will try to emulate yours with some time at the bench rubbing away.
Very nice Rachel.

Hard to believe that your month of March with this cool Case is down to the final day!

Last day! It has been a great month, but I am also excited to get something new in my pocket. Looks like it will be the GEC 35 cattleman unless something changes in the poll thread tonight.

After a month with the Case Texas Jack, a few observations:
1. It carries very well in any situation. Not heavy or too bulky.
2. I love the red bone colors, enough that I have tried finding others that match from the same time period. Beautiful covers. Fit and finish are also excellent on this Case.
3. For 95% of daily use tasks, this knife would be fine.
4. Easy to sharpen.
5. I prefer having some kind of wharncliffe, sheepsfoot, lambsfoot, etc. style blade available. This knife doesn’t have that.

Overall, very pleased with it and I am glad I got a chance to get more familiar with this one.
