What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Headwinds]

Love these ones and yours looks exceptionally nice. Interesting that yours doesn’t seem to have the downward cant to the blade that these usually have. In fact the spine looks perfectly in line with the handle.

Thanks! Actually the blade does have the typical downward cant (along with a slight list to port). It just looks straight because of the angle I was holding the knife. (Optical illusion)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Let's start with the cutlery. Two fine choices for outdoor chores.

With that garden you will be dining well Jeff.
Superb garden mascot to keep around.

Thanks Golfer Bob!
I’ve been seeing Salamanders around the last couple of years, and I love it. Cool little animals.

I grabbed a couple of shadows from the Roaring 20s.

Like they say on one of those HGTV shows,
They Have Good Bones.
I especially love the Crucible.

.. that was my first Catt and caused me to detour off the junction of the Primble River to the Cattaraugus River .......... for quite some time.

Me don't like snakes and serpents or goblins and such, but, I love little Salamanders. I hope his feet weren't bleeding as he scurried away !

Yes, they are fun little guys!
About snakes ~ I know you’ve got Copperheads, and Timber Rattlers, among orhers, but we have no venomous serpents up here. I used to battle Copperheads seemingly daily when I lived in the Ozarks, and between them and the Scorpions, they kept me watchful.
I love snakes in my garden, Garters usually, but once in awhile, a big Fox Snake. Since they eat the rodents that can really cause damage, I encourage the snakes, by trying to create habitat for them ~ rockpiles, etc.

Primble River and Cattaraugus River, huh?
Which is the tributary of the other?

Great knife to travel with! You should post more often.

I did get outside after I removed the Snow Plow from the lawn tractor . Pruned 2 Pine trees to allow me to mow under them and took out another , but smaller , 4 to 5 inch , Pine tree . It gets a little tougher to do every year but I can't just stop yet .

Harry

No, do not stop, Harry! Working around the vast compound keeps your joints lubricated and your muscles strong. At least that’s what I tell myself.

Even though one of the Belvidere Dads told me we might get snow this weekend, I think you’re safe to remove the snow plows.
My next door neighbor was out cutting grass yesterday!

I've been using the #35 lately and I've come to surprisingly enjoy the lack of half-stops. I tried to highlight the texture of the covers here, along with the case collaboration eureka jack and a (queen?) winchester

Lovely selection.

I’m glad to see the start of the garden pictures, Jeff.

Thanks, Bart. I can’t help myself, but will try to not derail the Totin thread.


Too much, at least.

I carried my ancient barlow today. In the garage tonight cleaning up a few pieces of bone I picked up in the pasture to make beads.

Dig the Ancient Barlow.
I’m curious how you cut the beads… Dremel? Small lathe?

Rolling this one into Friday’s carry

Nice knife. No, very nice.
I’m always distracted by your beautiful wood in your photos, Ed.

Quite a handsome knife.

That's a good story, Jeff! Will you post any photos of the restored old fish knife?

You betcha! As soon as I finish the bathroom remodel ~ by today/tomorrow hopefully~ and get caught up with garden chores, LOL, I will renew my license, and hit the river with my fish knife in my pocket.

Thanks GT.
Lilly is still on her learners permit. Going for her provisional licence next week in school holidays, which allows her to drive solo. She wanted a few driving instructor lessons & had to get her hours up. On learners permit they have to get a 120hrs built up before you can go for your test.

We have similar learner’s permit requirements, which seem to be quickly forgotten. During the height of the Covid freakout, our Sheriff’s Dept. seemed to give up on routine traffic enforcement, and the drivers went wild. Speed limits are now meaningless.
Picture cruising on a mostly deserted country road with the cruise control set about 3 over the speed limit, with a moron (usualy young female) riding your butt like a remora on a shark’s hind end. I’d like to do a brake check to get her off my a**, but don’t. I do gradually slow down to wake her up…

Sad when walking gets dangerous. I knackered my knees getting all my exercise from walking. Nice to get out in nature, though.
Me: "It isn't possible to walk wrong, is it?" Doctor: "Yes, it is."

I was going to guess Ulster. I have one with that exact jigging. Beautiful knife.

Maybe I should dig out that Ulster.

My knees are my weak link, probably from all the kneeling I did at the farm and in my garden. I couldn’t have anything to do with age, could it?
Yesterday, all the planting I did was sowing standing up. The peas and pelleted spinch seeds fell right on target, but the tiny lettuce seeds kept drifting in the breeze.
The Ulster in a fine choice, Jer.

Thanks Jeff, it has a look that appeals to me.


Congrats on the new greenhouse Jeff!

It was only a few $ more to get one big enough to set up grow racks, and a little work table, as well as stash my tools.

Loved the custom Bunny carved tees ........... tough guy golfers just draw back that driver and smack her off the ground ( and into the trees ) !!!
..... like a 3 wood.

Very nice Mr.P.. You are well prepared, but I think old Abe beat you to all those cherry trees.
Those are the people who usually pay me!

Jeff set me straight in my rushing to post....George it is.

Very nice.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Today I chose a Utica TL-29, and the lovely old Lion Knife Harry gave me.
See my garlic?

I really like the Loewen Messer. Super cocobolo, walk ‘n talk, and snap.

There’s a chip in the blade which does not bother me, and to paraphrase Harry’s name for his Blade Show acquired belt knife.
I’m calling this one WC. ~ What Chip.


Thanks for the views of all a y’alls knives!

Favorites Friday , after landing the Albers I just knew I had to recover a broken Beer scout i had laying around

Thanks Jeff...I failed that course. Too late to edit. Todd's going to love that one.

Thought it was going a nice sunny day here in the City by the Bay. Then the fog started rolling in. That’s the price I pay for living in the fog belt of the City. Of course during the summer when it’s in the nineties in the East Bay it’s nice and cool at my house. Keeping me company today is the usual lamb and my Case SB. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Don't ya just love a well used knife? What a great carry

 

[Hoffmajo89]

Thanks! Actually the blade does have the typical downward cant (along with a slight list to port). It just looks straight because of the angle I was holding the knife. (Optical illusion)

I’ve been debating about buying one of these for a while. Such nice looking little knives.
