What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

All by accident Jack.....will try to stay out of trouble.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets what day it is Bob!

Mr. Jack ....... I have a vision of you walking through a dry woodland area and behind you the trees are ablaze from all the hot cutlery you are totin' today !
You might need your fine W. Gilpin to apply a firebreak.

LOL! Thanks Mr P!

Wood for Wednesday.

Great-looking pair for Wooden Wednesday my friend, and that's a very cool old measure

I forgot it was Wednesday. An occasional occurrence that I attribute to being retired.
Happy hump day!

I can't even blame it on being retired Gary! Stellar pair there my friend :thgumbsup:

It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one! Last week when I had to go to the DMV to renew my drivers license. I tried to look old and decrepit which wasn’t too hard when I think about it. I hobbled to the front of the line with my cane and got in right away. I was in and out after 30 minutes which is amazing given that fact that many people have to spend half of their day at this DMV office.

A beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Into my vest pocket goes the Harvey Special lamb and with a nod to wooden Wednesday a Case Whaler.

Is there anything worse then going to the DMV ? No, I think not. Glad you were in and out, Dan.

Case Knife of the Week is this walnut Rogers jigged bone mini copperlock with custom shield (thanks, Greg):

Colonial/Imperial/Schrade of the Week is a skinny Colonial jack with fake stag covers (thanks, Mark):

Warning! @Primble, you might see critters - some bad, some good - in the background of the next photo.

That mini copperlock is beautiful! Among the most attractive of the many good-looking knives you post from your collection. I recently acquired a mini copperlock, and I'm far more impressed with it than I expected to be. Works like a bigger knife than it actually is, carries like a smaller knife than it actually is.

Dynamic duo Gary

Many thanks Gary, hope you're having a nice weekend

Gary, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter

Jack & Bob, thanks for the kind comments. A quite low-key weekend with increasingly glorious weather!
The grandeur of Holy Week was marred, however, by several sessions on working on my income tax returns for federal, state, and city governments.

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.

Thanks for the information.
I knew nothing about Anglo-Saxon wills, and now you've given me a fascinating start on growing my knowledge in that arena. Maybe the online vendor whose site I've been checking for Marttiini knives is a descendant of Anglo-Saxons. I've been seriously looking at the Condor Timberjack, which seems very similar to the Lynx Lumberjack but with a synthetic handle. The Timberjack with a plastic sheath is under $15, but getting a leather sheath instead adds $20 to the price!

Handsome pair of knives, Bob!
I recognize the stag HHB, but what's the top knife with the striking wood handle?

Quite the collection Gary. You have to fine examples there.

Thanks, Bob.

I love your Imperial toothpick, Gary, and also the tang stamp info!

Always nice to see your Colonial electrician. The blond covers are nice. I had one in wood, but gave it away.
Maybe you can putter about the homestead and find some screws that need tightening…

Thanks for the favorable comments, Jeff.
Our house is almost 90 years old (built ca. 1935 IIRC), and all of the interior doors have "brass & glass" doorknobs. The door to the stairs leading to the second floor is the only door that gets lots of use, and the little set screws that hold the knobs to the shaft that turns the latch are always coming loose. It's frustrating to pull the door closed and end up with a disconnected knob in your hand! Both shaft and screws have quite a bit of wear, so daily tightening really isn't the answer. My go-to hardware store is called Modern Hardware, so I'm not very optimistic that I could get replacement door latch shafts there, but who knows?

Thanks, Gary! Love your wife's heron photo, as well. They are such beautiful birds -- elegant and prehistoric all at once!

Thanks, Jim.
Speaking of prehistoric, I remember the first time a couple of a sandhill cranes came in for a landing on the lawn of the cottage we rent in Cedarville. I had never seen that species before, and before we saw them land we heard their calls and thought dinosaurs were in the area!

Thanks, Gary -- yup, that's a 1991 3904 S (for stag).

Thanks for the confirmation - it's an absolute beauty!

Changing it up with today's new arrival...

Congrats on snagging that sensational Albers lambsfoot; breathtaking burl!

Thank you GT and I appreciate that. You don't miss a trick ...... I hadn't realized the anniversary.

You're welcome, Rob. Every once in a while, I'll idly glance at the avatar/info to the left of a post I'm reading, and usually notice if a "join date" is fairly close to the current date in terms of month and day of month. I'm just an information processing machine!

Ha, ha! Thanks a lot, Gary!!! I think it was only described as "blonde horn" from the seller.

Thanks for the follow-up, JJ. I was hoping you might know what beast the horn came from: ox, bull, ram, buffalo, toad, goat, etc.

We're home today prepping Cindy for a procedure she is having tomorrow morning at the hospital. I've got a Standard, Ebony Lambfoot close at hand. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

Hi Gary
The top knife is a French Perceval. It only goes by L08...no name.

 

[afishhunter]

Is there anything worse then going to the DMV? No, I think not...

There is ... There is.
Unemployment office.
Social Security Offce.
Dentist.
Vampires for blood tests.
Hospital Emergency Room.
Operating Room (to get cut/carved on/lose parts)
Morgue (to I.D. someone, or for your turn on the autopsy table)
Court. (divorce, civil or criminal)
Prison (I ain't never been. I'd rather get my turn at the morgue and be put 6 or 7 foot under the grass, than an hour in prison, to be honest.)
Become a resident at an Insane Asilym.
Mucking out a stable or pig stye.
Any currently active battlefield.
Under a overloaded semi trailer tire(s).
Overboard without life ring/jacket in water more than 1 mile deep, with the knowledge you can't breath water, and you dont know how to swim.
Starting "contract employment" aboard a Yakuza or Mafia fishing boat (or worse) to pay off a million dollar (with interest) loan?
Climbing a 200 foot Silo ladder. (ymmv) ...

There lotsa things worse than visiting the DMV.
