What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

With the three blades shown here I am ridiculously over-prepared for any cutting tasks that may come my way today. Bad pic is in my truck while out running errands (well, parked, not running, during the pic). Not included in this pic are the two knife blades plus scissors plus orange peeler on the Minichamp on my keychain, or the lambsfoot on my desk that I was fidgeting with most of the day. Come at, packages-to-be-opened or apples-to-be-peeled, I am extremely ready.

Those two, with a Victorinox Spartan, are my go-tos.

That may be the coolest knife ever.
 
On third think, I believe I will go with these two. They don't get carried as much as they should.
141122 Tom's Choice Tom's Back barlow, and Case TB61028W DAM teardrop, with ladder Damascus blade.

Good morning everyone....20230428_101532.jpg
Paul/Jakeyway31 strikes again.
He said someone wanted to trade for his Albers lamb, he thought and said no. I agreed with his action. Next thing I know, we are discussing a trade. The lamb came up and I said no. I sent 2 knives that can't be shown and he sent the one knife I wanted and shipped the lamb too!
I have a torn heart over this, but will respect his actions.
Both knives have to be seen in person to be appreciated.
( he did get an Albers in another deal😃).
Hope this was not too convoluted.
Thanks Paul.

Wow, I was just admiring that incredible pair Bob, but that story caps it all! :cool: We have so many kind and generous posters here, but Paul is certainly up there with the best of them, what a great guy :) I hope you enjoy your Albers Lamb buddy, it's sweet as can be :) Superb Ancient Barlow too :cool: :thumbsup:

I truly agree with you about our friends, especially Paul. Definitely two knives that will be carried with pride.😉
 
That one was an SFA (Special Factory Assembly) from around 2018. I think it was one of five. I think GEC used the same dyed bone they used on the Bulldog series of knives they had done a few years earlier. At the Rendezvous they had both orange and green bone SFA’s and they had never done any knives with those handles except for the Bulldog knives.

Thanks for that info. Those covers remind me very much of the orange camel bone they used on the 2018 43’s.

Congrats Bob ! 😍

Having been on the receiving end of Paul's generosity I concur with Jack, he's one of the best ! 👍

That is camel bone and the dye is slightly different color. These are more translucent and are cow bone. Take a look at this video around the 8:10 mark. This GEC produced knife has handles that look exactly like the SFA 56. i can really see it when the light hits the handles.
