What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[mitch13]

Happy Easter, lunchtime Sunday here.
I reckon the Easter Bunnys pocket knife of choice, would be a pruner. To get through the brambles and all those hedges

 

[Jakeywax31]

A belated thank you, Jack. Hope you have a pleasant Easter my friend.

Carried one of my favorite pairing today, a Calf Roper and a Mustang, both GEC's. With names like that they are naturals to ride together.

Went to my brothers 23rd annual Easter egg today, around 60-75 kids and approximately 5,000 eggs on the lawn. We had three of our grandkids along. Our 3 yr old refused to pick up any egg that wasn't purple to match her bucket. One of her eggs contained a golden ticket so she won a large prize basket filled with kiddo easter swag. So I guess her strategy paid off.

What a great pair, Greg !!!

The face of pure joy. Kudos to her for finding the golden ticket.

That single spay blade is such a cool knife, Paul. I'm glad I got to see, admire and handle it at the knife show just after you got it and before I left you fellas there.

Thank you, greg. It is becoming a pocket regular for me.

Rediscovered the Mighty 55. Great knife

Back at work this morning for an incident and then on to another. Had the Bunny knife with me the last 2 days. Hoping it’s not what’s bringing the bad luck….View attachment 2146341

Thanks alot! Mine is laying right here in front of me. I don't know if I want to put it in my pocket now.

Just carried these 2 the last couple of days while doing some yard cleanup .

Many thanks my friend, good point on the Smiths George Mallory took a Lambsfoot up Everest, possibly even making the first ascent (I'm sure you know the tale). His knife was found by some US climbers a few years ago. At the time, they didn't know the Lambsfoot pattern, maybe they would now

That is fascinating information! The Lambsfoot is certainly an incredibly historic and multifaceted pattern; extraordinarily cool, too!

Congratulations JJ, those are two fine-looking French fancies The mark on the Aurillac reminds me of the faux-French marks found on some of the earliest Sheffield knives! Great pics

Thank you very much for your kind words, Jack!!! A interesting feature of the French made anchor knife is it was named "London!"

I've not had a chance to post my carry until now (6.30pm Yorkshire Time)! Hope everyone is having a great weekend

That is most certainly a perfect Saturday slicer trifecta for anything you require, including the potential vigorous and fun Walk-a-Bout!

Closest thing I have to an Easter knife is this Case Canoe in Carribean blue. If I squint real hard it kind of resembles an Easter Egg.

Bark River Boot-Knife in Micarta, Jérôme Latreille Gouttière in Warthog tusk for Easter Sunday. Enjoy the day.

A cloudy gray day here in the City by the Bay. Just returned from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Took along the usual lamb and my one and only GS. Watching the Giants game later and hoping they can score more runs than yesterday.

Great-looking pair

I think I am starting to have an itch develop for single bladed spay knives. Come to find out, they are not easy to find. I guess that's half the fun. This one is starting to be finding its way into the little watch pocket often. Have a nice shadow pattern Rodgers lamb to go with it today. Take care everyone.

Very nice Paul

Miscellaneous Knife this week has been a Rough Rider congress. I thought I was going to like a 4-blade congress until I actually tried one, and I've never really taken to the pattern.

Lambsfoot of the Week is Union Jack, a rosewood lambsfoot my wife and daughter picked out in a hardware store in York, England.

Fantastic pics

Thank you Jack!

Fine trio of knives!

Many thanks David

Thank you Mr. Jack ..... you're really late today ....... but in fine fashion, I must say !
Found an old Keen Kutter Axe too. Needs a little handle work.

After catching up with the Guardians thread, I thought I better get out and enjoy my hike while there was still some light! Thanks my friend, looking forward to seeing your axe, Barrett btb01 has a beauty I think

An interesting character with good taste in knives That is very cool JJ, I have noticed the name of the pattern before, but didn't see the etch on yours It also has the G 'Crown' R mark too I see! It's a great-looking knife my friend

Hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend It's a 4 day holiday here, which usually means a lot of boozing! It's been a long time since anyone bought me an Easter Egg!

Marvelous marlin spike!

Good morning Gary. Very keen eyes, I believe it was used to help in the centering of the 2 blades and spike.

Thanks for the info, Bob.
My eyes have never been very keen (glasses in first grade), but I had good news (low glaucoma pressure in each eye) at the eye doctor this week, so maybe the eyes are trying to show off a little.

Thursday’s three blade and a sidekick

Thanks, Gary. I found that antique at the WI blade show while in the company of some new friends and fellow forum members, it was a fun day.

Glad you could find a good knife and new friends on that WI trip, Greg!
Those hailstone/damage photos you posted earlier were scary.

Sorry to hear of your sharpening troubles Gary. Have you tried a Lansky Turnbox ?

Love that SW whittler

Thanks for the whittler props, Steve.
I don't have a Lanky turnbox or Sharpmaker, but the same idea on the unglazed rim of a ceramic candy dish lid is how I usually "refresh" the edges of my knives – probably should get something more high-tech. After complaining about my difficulty with that particular knife, I made some progress on it trying a new-to-me technique I found online, holding knife in one hand and stone (fine DMT diamond "credit card") in the other so that I can see where blade and stone meet, and moving stone against blade (rather than blade against stone that I typically do). Seems like it helps me keep a more consistent angle that way (and lots of "guided systems" move stone over stationary blade).

Thanks for the info about the pen knife, Bob; that was an attractive pair of folders!

Something blue (S&M English Jack) in honor of today's visitor...

Sweet knife; cool heron photo, too!

Every time I see a Churchill, I think, "Cha-ching!"

It’s been a while since I carried this 6347.

View attachment 2143592

6347 is my favorite Case stockman, and yours looks amazing!

Thanks. What was bleeding six months ago is pretty much not anymore, so I don't have to go back for a year.
This Marttiini just arrived. I may have to carry it at the Maundy Thursday service.

Appealing knife! Which Marttiini model is that, Jer?
Even though I've vowed to stay away from fixed blades, I occasionally look at ones from Scandinavia, since they seem to be used instead of folders there. I've lately looked longingly at Marttiini Lumberjack and Timberjack.

Thanks so much GT! Daughters are the best!
Goodness gracious that May is a looker. Love the brass on palm. You have a good eye sir!
Thank you Paul! I had lost that Craftsman cattle knife that Duncan sent me and it resurfaced yesterday. A coworker found it in his couch cushion. Waves and waves of relief ! Too much undisciplined fidgeting!

Agree with you on daughters, Jon.
That cattle knife is a stunner; glad you were able to get it back!

Unexpected chocolate cake for lunch dessert (4 candles, the correct number was too many to fit a 10x14 inch cake) with chocolate frosting (whipped cream mixed in?) made it a good day.
Of course chocolate cake makes any day "good".

Chocolate cake is a great gift, even better with ice cream!
And 140 sq. in. of "real estate" seems like plenty for 68 candles - more than 2 sq. in. per candle.

I grabbed this thrifty toothpick and a Jr. Scout, both from the '30s.

Valiant and venerable pair, JJ!

A 2002 Boker Lewis and Clark canoe

A Canoe kind of day so far this new day
Going back and forth between a Schrade Wostenholm and a Schatt & Morgan
May not be able to settle on one or the other, give up and pick something else ... later

Three thrilling canoes, gentlemen!

Have a good Good Friday everyone 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot, and a Remington Serpentine Jack for me

Superb pair of knives, Jack!

Thanks. It's a Lynx Lumberjack or a Lumberjack Lynx in carbon. An original flagship knife, apparently. I've been looking at it on the scandi site and thinking the price wasn't too bad, so when the southern e-tailer had it $8 off near my birthday, resistance was non-existent.
I think of the mora/tolle/puukko as a pocket knife for mitten people, too.
I'm disproportionately enchanted to get a nice leather scandi sheath on such an inexpensive knife.
But maybe not do disproportionate. In Anglo-Saxon wills, the harness for carrying a seax was valued as high as the seax.

it are Easter today!?!
I wonder if we will get a large hollow or soild chocolate hare at lunch today? (EDIT: nope. )
I know there will not be any hard boiled eggs. (dry overcooked) Baked "scrambled" ("whipped in a blender" is more accurate) eggs (usually with diced/cubed undercooked taters and "ham" (not SPAM™) mixed in ... and they "forget" to add the "cheesy" part 9.9 of 10 ...) is the only way they do eggs.

guess I will + bunny #291 to my pocket today, since it are bunny day.
